    2022 Concerts

    I saw All Them Witches at the Slowdown in Omaha a few weeks ago… enjoyed this show. My other planned concerts are: Rival Sons (not GVF, cmon) in Omaha, and River Riot (Alice in Chains) in CB. Probably a few Stir Cove or Waiting Room shows I want to go to in the meantime.

    Phoenix/Sedona

    I second the Devil’s Bridge hike. We did some of the wineries mentioned and had a good time. My favorite restaurant in Sedona was Elote, but didn’t make it to many others since we were there for a wedding.

    Best Steakhouse in Omaha

    Went to J. Gilbert’s tonight. It was significantly better than Flemings. I’d go back. Steaks for me and my wife were both seasoned well and cooked properly. I’d say my favorites in Omaha are (in no particular order): The Drover, 801 Chophouse, J. Gilbert, and the former Flatiron Cafe. I’ve...

    Nebraska gives Scott Frost much deserved extension to only fire him.

    In 2009 I was shopping at NFM, wearing a Cyclone Shirt, the week we played Nebraska. A guy actually came up to me, and interrupted me just to tell me Iowa State had no chance to beat Nebraska and laughed as he walked away. I’m not sure I ever enjoyed a victory so much knowing that guy had to...

    Children's Savings

    I am looking to open a 529 for our first kid who is due later this fall. My question is related to you mentioning that you need to use the Iowa 529 in order to get state of Iowa tax breaks? Is that true? We already use Schwab for some other stuff, and I noticed they also have a 529. The Schwab...

    Jamie vs the DMR

    JP is absolutely right. DMR is trash.

    And the 2021 Best Burger is...

    I went to 2020’s winner last night, Twisted Tail in Beebeetown. It was very good... hard for me to label anywhere the “best burger” but was way better than several of the “best burger’s” in Omaha for sure.

    New Entrance Song

    I think this new song is great. Imagine if someone could convince them to change some lyrics to “cyclones” instead of “typhoons”

    Moe Cason looking to open BBQ restaurant in DM

    Yeah it’s definitely preference. I agree on the other places you mentioned. Everyone else I know loves Q39. At Jackstack, my absolute favorite is the crown prime beef rib. Amazing, but pricey. I also had a great burnt ends experience there.

    Moe Cason looking to open BBQ restaurant in DM

    I know everything (especially bbq) is personal preference and all, and that people rave about Q39, but we have tried Q39 several times when we visited KC and it has never been good. My food or my wife’s, every time. I just don’t get it. We did like Jackstack, and have had several great meals...

    Dave Ramsey-Financial Peace University

    I understand that feeling from other scenarios I’ve been in but would put that more on your acquaintances than DR. You are not his target audience if you are already in control. His tone on the radio/books has to be the way it is otherwise it would never resonate with the people who need the...

    Dave Ramsey-Financial Peace University

    I just don’t get the hate for DR. His system would help 90% of Americans who have absolutely no clue how to handle money. Yes he screwed up when he was young (who hasn’t), but has been consistent ever since. I wish more people would give him a shot. For those that dislike DR, why don’t you...

    ***General Cycling Thread***

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a fairly inexpensive Bluetooth speaker that can either fit in a bottle holder or attach somewhere for more leisurely riding?

    Grills, Grills, Grills

    I have a Rec Tec pellet smoker and a nearly 10 year old Omaha Grills gas grill that is on its last leg. The Rec Tec smoker is awesome (great temp controller), but I rarely have time to use it. I think I decided my next grill when the gas grill finally gives out will be a Webber Kettle. They are...

    Breweries to survive coronavirus?

    I don’t know any that have completely closed in Omaha area. Most are offering crowler pickup. I recommend Kros Strain in Omaha for the Nebraska side of the river. My plan is to buy crowlers from the local breweries, especially Full Fledged Brewery in CB to weather this storm. Too bad the...
