    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    My wife and I have been looking at retiring in Europe somewhere actually when the time comes. Montenegro is pretty high up on the list for us. We've been finding 2-3 bedroom water view condos on the Bay of Kotor for under 400k euros. It looks like you're in Alaska without the snow.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    It's 25 years before you can import one. There's a pretty sizable grey market for these things too with several importers specializing in them. Kind of like how you are starting to see the small Japanese kei trucks being imported for sale here now too.

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    I spent a week out there for work a while back. It was really cool being surrounded by mountains on 3 sides. It was weird though all the laws out there from being mostly Mormon though. The weirdest one was you can't just go buy a beer in a bar, you had to buy food so most bars had a bowl of rice...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    My wife and I have talked about a move to WA state after our youngest graduates next year. We've spent a few days in Seattle and liked it but didn't like the sticker shock on housing. We might get a little more serious about looking at it next year but every time we say **** this we're leaving...

    High School Sports Thread

    If it was for levels other than varsity I’d be fine with it but it is a solution looking for a problem at best. Kids already have choices between end loaded or balanced swing weight bats. If your kid isn’t strong enough to get around with a -3 balanced bat then hit the weights and get stronger.

    The MVC is a meat grinder in baseball. Those 3 teams in 3A can hang with anybody in 4A and you've got to contend with Cedar Falls, Kennedy, Liberty, Prairie and City High.

    Truck tires

    I had the same problem on my Tundra. The factory Falkens were basically shot after 18k miles. I wanted a more aggressive looking tire but I didn't want to compromise on snow or wet traction which if you look into RT tires is a problem. I've ran a lot of BFG KO2's in the past but the quality on...

    They were ok for a while after the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker lawsuit but the last 12-18 months I'd agree. I still read their morning news rundown but that's the one article a day that's occasionally interesting.

    Happy for that group of seniors. They've had a rough 5 years.

    High School Sports Thread

    I was a a gathering of a mutual acquaintance last year he was at and while he wasn’t doing anything illegal if the cops would have shown up half of the buildings in the school district would have been looking for new administrators. I’m not going to crucify a kid for being a knucklehead when he...

    Little late to this party but West is being coached this year by a kid who graduated there in 2021. He's the 3rd head coach there since he was a senior and if I remember right he got tossed at a game in Fort Dodge along with 3 other guys in the dugout. His senior season went so well the coach at...

    Project Cars/Trucks

    Been busy in the shop the last few weeks. Got my brake booster installed and found an old 302 laying around in the old mans shed. I brought the 302 home just because it's a possible engine for the mustang or something to part out to help fund the mustang. No idea if the thing is locked up or...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Range is the least of that things worries. Jalopnik has some pretty interesting articles about them.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Looks too much like an Avalanche. Seriously though I have a friend with one and he loves it too. I just hate the interior of every GM vehicle I've rented over the past 5 years.

    Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

    I did that this last fiscal year too. I'm not retiring but considering they do calibration a month before I have to have it done it doesn't mean anything anyway.
