Is this like a YouTube show? A boating show in Waukee?
It’s a show on Bravo about the crews daily lives on a yacht. They have groups that take 2-4 day excursions. This gal had a tattoo of an eagle on her back that went from shoulder to shoulder it looked strange. The crew just kept saying this group was a bunch of azzholes.

I am a little hesitant and the bar may be the safest bet. While I’m not a big fan, I do have connections with several of the big club and diehard fans. Some of them can hammer back drinks faster than I can blink.

Practice make perfect

My husband occasionally watches that show. Renting a yacht like that is a "if we win the big lottery" dream.

Not exactly sure.
Watching the show “Below Deck” the yachting show. The primary guest is this Tina Smothers from Waukee and her husband with other friends. Holy cow these people are drunks. Tina is a real beotch! Her friend Eileen is the drunken fool. She fell face first on the side of the jacuzzi. God I’m just waiting to see some Hawkeye gear!!
What season and episode are they?

My wife was watching and when the captain of the boat butchered the word Waukee, It grabbed me like a trackor beam and sucked me write in. They replayed the drunk gal falling and hitting face first onto the side of the jacuzzi, at least six times. I was literally crying from laughing so much.

I'm in the office today. They are putting a whole new roof on the datacenter. We were bought 3 years ago by an investment firm that has a history of turning things over on an average of 4 years so I am assuming they are getting ready to sell us.
If they get their asking price we would get a bonus of about 50% of our yearly salary. I guess if they don't quite hit that mark we would get some sort of percentage based on the amount.
Hopefully that's where this is headed and it happens before I retire.

I should add that historically, whenever they have made improvements to the building we went up for sale.

Greetings from sec 106, row 14. Watching with the crazy alumni pep band people.
One of our friends will be there in one of our seats in row 6. Just FYI so you don't think it's me :)

StubHub thinking they are going to make me happy with a refund and $20 credit after I got notified 45 minutes before the start of the ladies game they werent sending me tickets that I ordered yesterday. You can **** off and shove the $20 up an Execs ass with the BS fees you charge.

I reached out to them 4 hours before tip off and they assured me they would be sent to me by 7:00pm.

They were having all kinds of problems with ticket transfers...

Kansas City notes LCs BBQ still good, beers from McFaddens expensive, parking can be expensive or cheap depending on your choice I chose poorly, but at least didn't get towed. General admissions tickets work pretty well for wbb, Tmobile is big enough there is plenty of room . The wbb is young and will learn from their loss.

Does her head block your view?
How DARE you?

'K, you're not wrong. Between the size of my head and my hair, I really can't wear a ball cap.

1) If you ever visit KC, go to the WWI museum off of Pershing Rd downtown. If it's a nice day, pay the extra for the tower view.
2) High Hopes ice cream off of Troost. Very good ice cream, flavors are a little "off the wall" ala Outside Scoop in Ankeny. (They have traditional Vanilla/strawberry/chocolate, but they also had cinnamon & honey, and strawberry birthday cake)

The WW1 museum is fantastic. The 2 halls and the underground part. Took me way longer to get through than expected. Also the free KC Art museum is really cool. Can't remember the proper name for it.
