    Your Holy Grail of Cyclone Game Memorabilia

    While on the field after the Okie State "Woody!" victory, my son picked a pocket full of turf grass and has it in a Ziplock bag with his ticket stub. He was 9 years old at the time.

    Jax closing its Ames store

    I bought a practice bomb back in 1988 and hung it in the window of our dorm room. It was Ames Surplus back then. I doubt they'd let that happen in today's sensitive world but I still have it hanging in my shop.

    Window replacement

    I think it's Heartland Windows but whatever the place is called between Aplington and Parkersburg. Quality windows and we're happy with them.

    Dad Sayings - Words of Wisdom

    Ah ha she cried as she kicked her wooden leg up high....was one of the regular sayings. Before I turned 21, it was "you don't have to try to drink all the beer! If you think it'll be gone, I'll by you a 12 pack and put it in the safety deposit box for when you're old enough!'

    Ash tree replacement

    A variety. It's obvious that ash was used as a replacement when Dutch Elms disease hit in the 70's. This year, 75-80% of the tree stumps I've ground out have been ash trees. During the next tree pandemic, at least they won't lose all the trees.

    Gallbladder Surgery/Removal

    My wife had gall bladder attacks but toughed it out until she couldn't get any relief. She had gangrene in hers when they removed it. She definitely felt better and healed quickly.

    Kid names

    There used to be a boy named Kinick that attended our church. I called him Jack Trice to irritate his hot-headed dad. His dad maintained his composure at church but had names for me away from there. LOL

    Iowa City Pedestrian hit by car

    No. I don't want to sound cold blooded but the more liability coverage you have, the more they will sue for. How do you put a value on a life? Fortunately, my family has not been involved in this type of situation and hopefully, never will be.

    Crazy Golf Stories

    I was grinding stumps on the course in Sac City when my truck was hit by a golf ball. A few years later, I was grinding stumps on Newell's course and had my truck facing towards a tee box. A group of guys were ready to tee off so I grabbed a grain shovel to try to protect my windshield. They...
