MLB: ***2025 Minnesota Twins***
So what is everyone's guess on who gets called up or called on to be replacements? Lee likely takes SS. Does Miranda come to take 1st? I wouldn't mind seeing Aaron Sabato given a look. Rodriguez is currently on IL, but does he possibly get a shot at LF? Julien has already been called up. So...- somecyguy

MLB: ***2025 Minnesota Twins***
I posted earlier that Buxton, Ryan and Lopez should be the only untouchables, so I can't be angry that the FO traded as they did. I'm definitely a little confused by trading Varland. Losing Jax and Duran sucks, but I get the rationale. There was an article I read earlier that mentioned most...- somecyguy

Ryan, Lopez, Buxton. Those are the only untouchables. And I might even see a reason to touch Buxton, but his contract is so good, I'd find it hard to let him go.- somecyguy

Urban Coyotes
I live on the outskirts of Cedar Rapids in a wooded area and we hear them nearly every night. The entire neighborhood knows not to let their dog outside unattended at night, due to to some close calls. One of my neighbors claims he spotted a bobcat on his security camera. I know they are... -
***Official 2025 Weather Thread***
I didn't visit the fairgrounds, but I drove from CR to Britt on Saturday through that rain and they got hammered. The ditches and cornfields were ponding big time. -

I remember seeing a dew point of 81 in CR at least once last summer. -
New house build: tank water heater vs. tankless water heater
The way I've always dealt with them, is when they've got to that point, I just set aside funds and timeline to replace it. I'd rather have it replaced on my timeline rather than doing it in a hurry when no one has any hot water. -
MLB: ***2025 Minnesota Twins***
My guess with the "pending" sale, the front office's marching orders are to remain stationary. Meaning only trade expiring contracts, don't take any long term contracts and basically tread water.- somecyguy

Casey’s Sucks
My work takes me around rural Iowa often and though I generally agree that many of the Casey's have declined, many of the rural ones are still generally better. 9/10 times it's staffed by a nice older woman or some high schooler and they seem to have some pride in the appearance of the store...- somecyguy

Casey’s Sucks
The one near me in CR has visibly declined since the purchase. I don't know if they are struggling with the internal transition or just don't care any longer, but I've noticed broken equipment, lack of materials like straws. lids, etc and just a general decline in the store.- somecyguy

Golf Fight
I love golfing. It's a great way to relax, but I'm not retired and I have other things I need to do. I simply don't have the ability to dedicate over half a day to the course. If we could get it back down to 4 hours or less, I'd be thrilled. I'm not asking everyone to play speed golf, but...
