***Official 2025 Weather Thread***
As of 6:00 pm last night I had exactly 1 inch. Dumped the gauge. Just checked again and got 3.2 inches overnight. I'm in Urbandale. Really needed it. -

Is anyone into Yacht Rock?
It is just about the only station I play on Sirius/XM anymore. Takes me back to standing on Mom's lap and "steering" the car on our way to Grandma's house in the mid 70's. Window open just a crack, cigarette in moms hand, AC blasting, no seatbelt, around 65mph. The most stereotypical Saturday... -

Friday OT - New Year, New Me
We became empty nesters in the fall of 2023. I swear we are busier now than ever! And our youngest daughter was an athlete in High School so we were always on the run. My wife and I joke about how we used to be worried about becoming couch potatoes once the kids were all gone and now we... -

*** Official #16 IOWA STATE vs #15 Arizona State Big 12 Championship Game(Day) Thread ***
Why run a play with exactly 1 option. An option that is pretty easy to take away at that. -

How Many ISU fans in the stands at CCG
My daughter (sophmore at ISU) and 8 of her friends are going. They had a lottery for the student allocation for discounted student tix ($75). Don't know how many they had. -

Wednesday OT - OCD Eating
My favorite food is "casserole" so I tend to make my plate resemble a casserole - everything kind of piled together. If eating fast food, the fries/side dish must be eaten completely prior to the burger. -

Midweek Off Topic Discussion - Best fast food breakfast item
This is the correct answer. Will only step foot in a BK at breakfast, and only for one of these little treasures. -

Friday OT - How Sweet It Is
I have a tremendous peanut butter/chocolate addiction. Has anyone else had the Reeses Crunch candy bar? I am physically incapable of entering a Casey's without purchasing at least 1 if they have them. In the non PB category Twin Bing must be mentioned. A true Iowa classic! -

"The Talk" with growing boys
We have 2 daughters. When the oldest was getting to that age, and we got a letter from the school indicating that they were going to start discussing the human body and get into reproduction - around 4th or 5th grade IIRC, my wife found a decent book/pamphlet on the subject. We had her read... -

I would more say it is sad. Imagine thinking beans belong in chili. -

Dream car
Anyone that asks me about my Chevelle always seems to ask why I changed so much from the original car and this is the exact reason. If you put that kind of time and money into a car, what sense does it make to have a finished product that rides and operates with 50 year old technology. Unless...
