    Upside Gas App

    I’ve used Upside for a while and have over $100 in 8t. There are some restaurants that take it for 5, 7% off. I also use Gas Buddy to find the best gas prices. You can use both on the same fill up.

    Jaylin’s comment about possibly sitting out the bowl game says a lot about the him and the ISU FB culture: “that’s not what leaders do”.

    Tenderloin on highway 34

    3 C’s might be the best tenderloin I’ve ever had. I’ve now eaten there 5 times and it’s always been great. There’s actually another place in Corning called Primrose and it also has an excellent pork tenderloin but all of the other food is also great.

    CSN&Y To Release "New" Live Album

    Those concerts were late HS, early ISU for me and I saw the highlighted ones. Also, I saw Graham Nash in Des Moines just a few weeks ago at Hoyt Sherman, and it was a very good conv

    Iowa State Themed Kicks

    I have these Hey Dudes - super comfy but they are a little dark - more like Gopher maroon than Cardinal.

    2024 Iowa's Best Burger announced

    I’ve been to JJ’s 4 times in the 5 months they’ve been open. On our first visit, the owners came up to us just to check and converse. I did have a burger the first time and it was awesome. But they have much more than just their burgers. I would classify it as an upscale bar and grill. It’s...

    New Orleans

    Someone else mentioned Commander’s Palace in the Garden District. Ate there while attending a conference last year. It was an all-time top 5 dining experience for us. Great food and service. Reservation (a ways out) are normally required. Any other advice I have has been covered in other posts.

    Washington DC Family Vaca

    Consider getting a VRBO/Airbnb instead of a hotel. You can likely get one for considerably less than a hotel.

    BEYOND AMAZING: That's how TJ Otzelberger describes former Tyrese Haliburton's meteoric rise in the NBA

    I went to the Pacers/Bucks game in Milwaukee tonight. Tyrese was excellent but, uncharacteristically , had a couple early turnovers. I sat 6 rows behind the Pacers bench and their tunnel. Giannis had a career night (even for him). He set the franchise record for points with 64. After the...

    Crazy Golf Stories

    Last summer while playing at Otter Creek in Ankeny I scored 2-2’s in a row. I holed out from 120 on the par 4 12th then holed a 25 foot putt for birdie 2 on the par 3 13th. Didn’t really think about how rare consecutive 2’s are at the time (at least for hackers like me), but someone...

    Crazy Golf Stories

    I played Torrey Pines in March and loved it. I’ll be back next Feb and should be able to play it again. Lots of walkers on the course, but they keep things moving. I believe non-resident fees are ~$225 (walking) during the week but there’s also the tee time fee of $47/player just t make the...
