    Window replacement

    I think it's Heartland Windows but whatever the place is called between Aplington and Parkersburg. Quality windows and we're happy with them.

    Dad Sayings - Words of Wisdom

    Ah ha she cried as she kicked her wooden leg up high....was one of the regular sayings. Before I turned 21, it was "you don't have to try to drink all the beer! If you think it'll be gone, I'll by you a 12 pack and put it in the safety deposit box for when you're old enough!'

    Ash tree replacement

    A variety. It's obvious that ash was used as a replacement when Dutch Elms disease hit in the 70's. This year, 75-80% of the tree stumps I've ground out have been ash trees. During the next tree pandemic, at least they won't lose all the trees.

    Gallbladder Surgery/Removal

    My wife had gall bladder attacks but toughed it out until she couldn't get any relief. She had gangrene in hers when they removed it. She definitely felt better and healed quickly.

    Kid names

    There used to be a boy named Kinick that attended our church. I called him Jack Trice to irritate his hot-headed dad. His dad maintained his composure at church but had names for me away from there. LOL

    Iowa City Pedestrian hit by car

    No. I don't want to sound cold blooded but the more liability coverage you have, the more they will sue for. How do you put a value on a life? Fortunately, my family has not been involved in this type of situation and hopefully, never will be.

    Crazy Golf Stories

    I was grinding stumps on the course in Sac City when my truck was hit by a golf ball. A few years later, I was grinding stumps on Newell's course and had my truck facing towards a tee box. A group of guys were ready to tee off so I grabbed a grain shovel to try to protect my windshield. They...

    Garage or Backyard?

    After working inside all day, I have to get outside. Smoker, grill, Blackstone are in my shop so I'm making food, tinkering on some project or enjoying a drink with anyone who stops by. We have varmints and poultry roaming the yard and they can be entertaining at times.

    Every Day Carry Knives

    Several years ago, we were camping with friends and their dog ended up with a treble hook in it's mouth while trying to eat catfish bait. They were freaking out, going to rush the dog to the vet. I set my drink down, whipped out my pocket knife and cut the hook out. The dog didn't even...

    Buffalo Bills Damar Hamlin

    Hoping you never have to but if you are ever in that situation, you'll most likely just react then dwell on it later. I haven't had to do CPR on a family member but used an AED once that helped revive an individual. It was a great feeling after the EMTs took over even though the long term...

    Vasectomy

    Had 4 healthy kids already and didn't want to deal with another miscarriage so I set up an appointment. Had it done on a Friday, took it easy then was paged to a rescue call on Monday. Tromping around in a ripped field while loading up a patient with a dislocated hip resulted in soreness for a...

    2022 Iowa High School Football Playoffs

    The dumbest game in the 1st round was East Sac County vs West Sioux! With only 2 wins, we had absolutely no business being in the playoffs. We were outnumbered, outsized and lucky only 1 of our players was injured. The kids played their hearts out and their coach didn't run the score up but...
