Brownsdale MN fire dept throws one heck of a fish fry all you can eat with baked potato, baked beans, Cole slaw and a roll for $14.
They do a exceptional job on the fish. Have made it 2 yrs in a row now.
Next good event the Walter's fireman's breakfast 1st Sunday after Easter

I don't get the American publics seeming obsession with the British royal family. Britain would have been better off if they had done like the French and just dissed them permanently 200 hundred years ago.
That's something I'll never understand either.

Sitting on a call for the decommission of a bunch of products. The only person on this call outside of the project manager are the consultants that were hired to do the decomm.
I'm going get stuck doing other's peoples work because they just decided they shouldn't have to get up at 2am
Might as well fire up the Mr. Coffee

So sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for this to be finished, scrolling through Facebook reels. Lots of guys ogling over AI generated young Asian women.

Someone didn't have themselves muted. I just heard, Steve can drive, he's not really drinking. Some of these guys were from the UK but I thought they had all dropped

Could be US. I saw a lot of guys grabbing beers at 10 am sessions at nationals. That’s too early for me. I’m old and a light weight. Gotta pace myself.

I like power and light I think, more at night than the mornings.

I really hope they don’t try to do a Hilton east thing next weekend. Hilton south for us playing in KC every year and winning multiple times is cool. Trying Hilton west or east I think devalues the Hilton south phrase when you are there once.

Too late. This was posted last night in the Iowa State Cyclones Basketball Alliance facebook group. Sigh.

Ordered a new phone, finally can get rid of this piece of ****. Keep having to restart everytime I lose signal and group texts won't automatically download sometimes. Hopefully 5G will be better. Says I can get up to $500 trade in value for this, but when they get it, they'll see it ain't worth 5 cents.

Way back in 2000 they referred to the Dome as Hilton North when ISU was playing in Minneapolis.
