Dream car
Anyone that asks me about my Chevelle always seems to ask why I changed so much from the original car and this is the exact reason. If you put that kind of time and money into a car, what sense does it make to have a finished product that rides and operates with 50 year old technology. Unless... -

Friday OT - Can You Hear Me Now?
Whenever someone asks me why I don't have an iphone my goto response is "I always thought iphones were built for 12 year old girls? " -

Friday OT - Can You Hear Me Now?
I am a firm Pixel user. The features and intuitive nature of the interface are simply better than anything apple has to offer. My wife and 2 daughters are all apple users. I had an iphone 5? for about a year and it was a miserable experience - a big due to the Apple ID stuff. If I had a... -

FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games
We were in line at the north gate approximately 40 minutes to KO. Maybe took 20 minutes or so. Scanning worked great for all 4 of tix. Did find that I had to basically have my phone touching the scanner but it was quick on a Pixel. -

How bad is Allegiant?
We have done it twice now and had a good experience both times (hopefully I didn't just jinx you!). Nashville is a great town and 3 days is about the perfect amount of time - at least for an old man like me. -

How bad is Allegiant?
The Nashville flight from DSM is a great way for a cheap 3 day weekend - flies out Thursday and come back on Sunday. We had no issues. Have also taken the DSM-San Diego with no problems. Everything seemed brand new. -

In Urbandale - rain gauge was bone dry at 5:30-ish this morning - I went out to check cause I was hoping we got hit last night. Wind,thunder,heavy rain hit around 5:45 or so. Pretty much over by 6:30. Had just over an inch in 45 minutes or so. -

The Floods of 1993 Now 30 Years Later
Graduated from ISU that May and ha started my 1st big boy job at Ruan right after. They were having the Ruan Grand Prix through downtown DM when the floods hit. I remember being super pissed because all us Ruan employees were voluntold to work various shifts in the hospitality suites during... -

Wealth Shift
100% this. We are 5-10 years from retirement and have been talking about what the next step will be. Rather than go through the cost/hassle of owning, we decided to try and do some long term rentals. -

Morbid post alert (apologies)
IIRC it was spring 1988 - freshman year - living in Friley. A guy and a girl were on a motorcycle westbound on Lincoln way. We could hear the girl screaming which caused us to look out the window just in time to see the motorcycle slam into the rear end of a car at the Welch Ave/Lincoln Way... -

Friday OT - Don’t Tell Me Not To Be Afraid
Mine (other than caves/tight places) is dogs. I have never had a bad experience with a dog and I grew up with dogs on the farm. But now, I get super anxious if I am around them at all - doesn't matter if they are a little yipper or some giant breed - I can barely breathe if I am within 20... -

Wife's Christmas Present
The thing I did for our 30th last year was offer her a new wedding ring - I should say a 2nd wedding ring. We were just kids with no money back in 1990 so her ring was very small. It still means a lot to her but I thought maybe she wanted something a little more substantial now that we have...- Trigger

Pecan Pie
Good pecan pie is at the absolute peak of pie. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that maybe 25% of all pecan pie is "good" pecan pie. I must always order or accept pecan pie when it is offered because the joy of getting one of the 25% pies far outweighs the pain you feel when given a pie... -

Wednesday OT - Thanksgiving Power Rankings
All in on the potatoes and butter. In fact, the correct method is a scoop of mashed, about a 1/4 stick of real butter squished down into the potatoes, and then cover it all with good iowa sweet corn. Gravy is good on the turkey and stuffing but I build a food wall with the other sides so that...
