    Sheet goods carrier handle. Very useful if you have to carry sheet goods by yourself. They make fancier ones that use compression, but I've just got this cheap guy. It's extremely helpful when carrying 4x8 plywood around my workshop...

    Parents Nightmare/Miracle

    I was at a transportation conference this year and met "The Guardrail Guy." He has a youtube channel if you want to check him out. His daughter crashed into a guardrail which failed and she died as a result. He won a lawsuit and has now made it his life's mission to address guardrail issues...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    I saw the one highlight where she shouldered the former OSU guard and put her on her a**. Embarrassing for that girl, for sure. There was no offensive foul called. If that's how they call it in the WNBA, CC is gonna do very well.

    20% of the way through the season and the Cards have spent all but a few days in dead last in the Central. I suspect if this keeps up, Mo will can Oli by the all star break. Not that it will matter…but I do believe Mo will toss Oli right under the Budweiser Bus to save his own job.

    WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

    I'm not going to try and analyze her situation. What I will say is that sometimes our decisions in life don't work out. I've had that happen to me. Been in a job that was good not great. I took an opportunity at a new place to try something new, turns out it was worse than job #1. So you go and...

    Large Area of Iowa in Extreme Drought.

    That Racoon in Adel is as high as I’ve seen it in the 4 years we’ve lived here (not a big sample size, I know). It’s been so low the last few years you could see the old bridge foundation sticking out of the water. Can Meter gauge shows it’s still on an upward trend.

    I thought the same thing. CHA has a capacity of 15,500. I would've guessed the numbers would have been very close to sell-out for the entire season.

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    This is really interesting to see! My school (Cascade) has really dropped off. It was about 600 students (jr high plus HS) in my day which was the all-time peak. Now it’s just a hair above 400. I believe they even dropped down to 1A and maybe even 8-man in FB.

    ***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

    For the weather experts out there: seems like we're in a period of activity for the next 10+ days? My forecast in central Iowa shows a decent chance of rain every day through the 10-day.

    I really liked him as a player. Just crazy athletic in so many ways. As others said, his health was always a challenge. Oli calling him out last year was really the beginning of the end for STL/O'Neill. I wish him the best. If he stays healthy, he'll be another one added to the list of...
