A couple of football nuggets to chew on

Just a few things I heard over the weekend...

-- RB seems to be a two man show. Johnnie Lang has really emerged in the offseason. He's right there with Breece. My gut says Breece wins out but Johnnie has been impressive and will get a good chunk of carries Saturday night.

-- I asked about Will McDonald ... not entirely surprising but he's still developing at LB ... will play a lot this year but I imagine ISU is going to ease him into the every down type of role. Pretty much what we heard in the offseason .. put him in spots to be successful. Don't ask too much too early. That sort of thing.

Drain Pipe Issue

Neighbor had an issue with some water dripping on his patio. My first thought was to get the siding off in order to help it start to dry out no matter what was causing the issue. Turns out it was the 1.5" copper drain line coming out of his disposal that seemed to have a seam that had opened. Thankfully we got to it quick enough, but man the insulation smelled like the sewer. The house was built in the 50's so the plumbing is right next to the interior drywall of the house. My question is: Is it better to just cut the pipe and put in PVC up to the were we cut the copper pipe or take a torch and heat the pipe soften the lead and pull it out replace with new copper pipe or let a plumber handle it? The T- fitting is right next to stud as seen in the picture. You can tell by the bottom picture the charred stud would how it was sweated. The double studs are for the kitchen window. The upper drain pipe comes from the sink. The leak is about 8" to the left of the cracked stud. The pipes like I said are up against the plastic sheathing.

Trading in Golf Clubs

Does anyone have a good place to trade in or sell golf clubs? I inherited two sets of fairly new and good quality sets but they are left handed so I can't use them. Since I don't have a nice set of clubs of my own I want to know what my options are for trading them in and where I can get the best value for them in the Des Moines area.
