    What's the best opening track of an album?

    Enter Sandman was the one that immediately came to mind for me. Any answers are almost certainly going to be music that is 20+ years old, since basically nobody listens to whole albums in track order after music migrated to digital instead of physical record/cassette/CD.

    Salvage title question

    There should be a question on the back of the title with respect to damage--what exactly does that say? Not sure but I think that verbiage (% / $ value you are supposed to disclose) may have changed over the years. If there is fine print with respect to vehicle age that might also be the place...

    S-Corp LLC Help

    Was any rationale given by whomever recommended this to you? Unless there is some wrinkle I don't know about, typically you would be looking at forming an S-corp -or- an LLC if that wasn't made clear to you. There are a few differences (and I think some may vary by state) but to a large extent...

    Re-siding house

    With tearing off the underlying masonite, you will likely need to tear off at least part of the next side from where you're installing to get your corner trim hung. As long as you have a plan to deal with that I don't see a problem spreading out the siding install, though. If you don't care what...

    DIY workbench

    I built this one at my previous house (though I skipped the upper shelf, as I had existing wall shelves): https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-build-a-workbench-super-simple-50-bench/ It's a fairly efficient design for material use with how cuts are laid out, I use Rubbermaid Roughneck...

    WTB: Wanted - 2 tix for Oklahoma MBB Feb 28

    Looking for a pair of tickets to OU MBB, to catch a game with former college roommate. Guessing our price range is probably lower-mid rows of upper deck, but open to about anything. Figured I'd try here before buying on the open market.

    What is the Greatest Soundtrack Ever?

    For top to bottom quality, my vote would probably be Forrest Gump. Tier 2 - Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing, Detroit Rock City, Grease, Dazed and Confused, Animal House, Blues Brothers, maybe Top Gun South Park - Bigger, Longer, Uncut will also always be one that has a special place in my...

    Why is life worth living?

    Strongly agree with this. Regardless of the exact context, if things outside your control are making for a **** sandwich, I think exercise that gets your heart rate up is one of the best easy ways to help yourself physically/mentally. Gives you some solitude to reflect and game plan future...

    After market wheels

    As an extension of this, the website car-part.com will allow you search a bunch of salvage yards at once and see what they have (generally with prices). Then once you figure out who has them, call and ask if they'll give you a better price on a set of 4.

    I need a Hok joke.

    Why does Kirk Ferentz always drive below the speed limit? He’s scared to pass. What do you get if you cross Brian Ferentz and a groundhog? Six more weeks of bad football.

    Need Podcast Recommendations

    I tend to like edutainment stuff, with some lean towards financial and behavioral economics topics; the ones I tend to listen to most / find consistently interesting are: Freakonomics Planet Money The Journal (daily, relatively short episodes, from Wall St Journal) Radiolab

    Hiking

    Sky Pond hike in RMNP is one of my all-time favorites. You're above the treeline pretty quickly and get some really great views. Or if you want something shorter, Nymph-Dream-Emerald Lake hike in the same area of RMNP is one of the best return on effort hikes I've ever been on. Hemmed in...

    Nashville

    I thought the studio tour was neat/interesting, also. That, and seeing Vince Gill and Time Jumpers at bluebird cafe (this was 8-9 years ago and at that time they had a weekly residency) were easily the highlights. Cash museum was ok. Bars on Broadway didn't impress me at all... lots of live...

    On That Note: Chain of Fools
