    Out of state vehicle trade process

    Recently traded my Iowa registered vehicle at a dealer in Nebraska. The dealership sent me home with an in transit dealer temp paper/license in the back window. I also still have my original plates as they removed those and gave them to me. Anyone who's done a similar transaction know when I...

    Grills, Grills, Grills

    I milked every season I could out of my old CharBroil but now. it's time to replace it. I know Weber is considered the best of the best but has anyone bought a non Weber brand lately from a big box store and been happy? I'll probably end up with a Weber but wanted to see if there is another...

    Sign up to end of season with which option

    Curious what others think. I'm going to go with deep tourney run, Sweet 16 or better. Let me see if I can get a Poll to work. Edit: screwed up option one. First choice should include bounced in round 1 or first weekend of Dance

    Feedback: Ad audio stops iHeart on iOS

    Search didn't find it but I thought I one time I saw a bug report on it. While browsing forums and iHeart playing audio new page refreshes will cut the audio of iHeart. I would guess it's one of the ads trying to push audio.

    LLWS 8/26 game on ESPN

    Anyone else just lose the LLWS game on game on ESPN? (Dish Network) Looks like it bumped up against the 9pm MLB game that's blacked out on ESPN. I gotta think ESPN would have kept broadcasting.

    Family Summer Road Trip ideas?

    Need some help since I'm not coming up with much. Kids ages 9 and 12 and we're trying to figure out something fun for a summer vacation this summer. I'd consider driving 8 - 10 hours. - Rocky Mtns (been there a few times) - Black Hills but everything seems so spread out up there it's hard to...

    Upgrading cell phones thru At&T

    Need some advice from my fellow fanatics on upgrading and what is the best option. Currently I see two different ways I can upgrade: 1. Go to BestBuy/Apple and buy the new iPhone 6 for full retail and activate. This does not change my monthly bill. I retain my status as "off contract" and the...

    iOS 8 review/thoughts

    Curious what others think of iOS 8. I upgrade my 4S last Friday and have a few days on it so far. Not overly impressed with predictive texting and don't understand why it was such a knock on iOS that it didn't have it before. I'm still trying to use it (to see if it's just me) but it seems to...

    Windows 8.1 Tablet

    Alright, I need a break from the RV mega thread and ranking talk. I bought my wife a new laptop for Christmas that came with a Lenovo Miix Tablet included. The tablet is driving me crazy and I would happily trade it for a iPad or Android tablet. Curious if anyone else has a Windows tablet and...

    Snow Throwers - Wrong time of year to buy

    Yeah, timing on this one sucks for me. I think my decade old Troy Bilt finally bit the dust. I finally got it running for the first time this winter only for a 3rd major piece to break and I'm not sure it's worth welding to only have it snap again during the next driveway clearing. Definitely...

    New Win 8 laptop

    I've been out of the winders environment for quite a while. Bought my wife a new laptop with Win 8 installed. It came with no DVD drive or a Windows install disc. While completing the purchase the sales guy noted this and said for $30 I could bring it back and they'd create a Windows 8 install...

    Boston Bombers Hat Logo

    I don't want to go all Alex Jones but someone explain or feel free to tell me I'm wrong but that's not the same logo on the bomber who was wearing the white hat in these photos. Photo credited as being suspect #2 leaving area after bomb exploded with what appears to be a numeral "3" on the side...

    Trading down for a vehicle

    Yes, I know. Rarely if not ever a good idea so spare those replies. For various reason I don't want to sell it outright or trade for a more expensive vehicle. Anyway, anyone ever successfully traded down in value for a vehicle and not gotten hosed? I'm no where close to upside down so I stand...

    Booker's post game tweet

    Yeah, I gotta somewhat agree, Gibson is a black hole out there and I don't see why Booker gets no PT. Niang is struggling down the stretch and making stupid fouls. Anthony Booker ‏@booker22 I must really suck man

    Good feeling entering the Conf schedule

    The L sucks no doubt, but after our preseason I was bumming. The loss to EIU really hurt, I was struggling after that one. That said going in to KU and taking the game to OT after a crazy # days layover from your last game is good. If we just realized as a team that we can walk in to KU and do...

    Hester's reaction to Lovie's firing

    Anyone follow the players reaction to his firing? I found it interesting that Jay says all the PC things and it's Hester that acts like a brat. Adam Hoge ‏@AdamHogeCBS Devin Hester: "Majority of...

    R/C Cars for kids

    Okay, so I'm looking to get my son a nicer r/c car this Christmas. What I don't want is the cheapo Target/Radio Shack types. I'd like to get him a decent (but not crazy high $$) r/c car that uses gas or a rechargeable battery. Any recommendations? I started looking at towerhobbies.com but...

    USA Today Loves the Big 10....again

    As expected the media is once again salivating over the Big 10. Apparently Missouri was the only bball school we had in the Big 12 and it'd departure is the only noteworthy item for this year. Five things to watch for college hoops season I don't usually read the USA Today but it was the free...
