    Weed control lawn company recommendation?

    Not 100% sure, but I believe they do most of central Iowa. There is a testimony on the site from someone in Altoona, so they probably at least do the whole Des Moines area and Ankeny for sure. You'll have to contact them about Ames.

    Weed control lawn company recommendation?

    Try http://www.terra-dyne.com/. I have been using them for years. Once a month weed control application during the spring and summer months. Great, locally owned business. I have had no complaints and my lawn looks great with minimal effort from myself.

    Walking Dead

    I think all of the spin-offs will eventually air on AMC or will be there right away. With all the walking dead shows, so far, they've done that you can watch a week ahead with AMC+, but never gone the full only AMC+ route. Agree the the final episode wrapped the main story up. Really, almost...

    Where do buy your cell phone?

    I have bought from Samsung's site directly for several years now when upgrading phones. As mentioned above, you can buy unlocked phones (not tied to one carrier) for usually cheaper and their pre-order deals, with trade in, are usually the best I can find anywhere. Shipping and service from the...

    Dune - Villeneuve adaptation

    Yes, December 4th is the date, I believe that Mulan will be on Disney+ without having to pay the premium price for it.

    Breweries to survive coronavirus?

    Any keg I have gotten from a brewery is always Sankey. I don't know of any that sell kegs with ball lock or pin connectors. I have my setup so I can switch back and forth from ball lock to Sankey as needed.

    Rick & Morty

    Very true. To really experiance Rick and Morty, you have to start from the begining to get all the references and understand what is going on.

    Breweries to survive coronavirus?

    Good question, don't know if I have monitored it that closely to tell if I go through more CO2 with 3-5 gallon kegs, vs. 1-15.5 gallon keg. Given that it ends up being about the same amount of beer, with the 3 kegs vs. the big one, I would say it is about the same.

    Breweries to survive coronavirus?

    I have a 3 head tap on my kegerator. Generally I have my own homebrew on tap, but at other times and like now, I have had Confluence Capital Gold and Chewbocka on tap. Also have done kegs of Fat Tire, Bud, Coors Light, Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat (one of my favorites), etc. Depends on the...

    Breweries to survive coronavirus?

    I picked up 2 kegs (5 gal) from Confluence on Saturday for $176. Average of $88 a keg. That said, I had 2 kegs to turn in, so I didn't have to pay deposit on the new kegs. Deposit is $50 a keg, so if I had to pay deposit, it would have been $276, but I get my $100 back when I turn the kegs back...

    Friday OT - Dear Abby

    I had almost the same situation a little over 10 years ago. Myself and my young family at the time had moved to the Minneapolis area for my career, from central Iowa. After about a year up there, while the job was great for me and going well, it was not the right area to be in for my family. So...

    MLB: ***Official 2019 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    Also, that batting stance. That always been his stance? Seems all bottled up and closed, more then usual.

    Game of Thrones Season 8

    Correct. It is Thoros of Myr who does the reviving, not Beric, in the show. But, in the books, Beric gave his life to Catelyn Stark, after the red weeding and thus created Lady Stonehart. So, there is some precedence for the character to bring people back to life.

    Walking Dead

    True. That was a minor one and that was fine.

    Walking Dead

    I hear you, but I am glad they didn't end on a cliff-hanger. I am glad they showed the heads on spikes in the 2nd to last episode and set/wrapped things up in the last. I say this, because the Walking Dead has been so bad at cliff-hangers in the past, it was a nice refresh to not have one. Now I...

    Walking Dead

    No, they aren't from the comics. I thought the resolution was a little too easy too, but I did like that they brought in a threat and it was dealt with in 1 episode. So, at least the turn around on it was quick. The whole Michonne thing, with her not trusting anyone, not just outsiders any more...

    2019 Concert Thread

    That is the way it always seems to go now for all concerts. Announced on a Monday and tickets go on sale that same week on Friday. I have rarely had a show that I was going to buy tickets for, in the last several years, that I didn't have to make a decision in 1-2 days about buying tickets as...
