    ***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...

    Dream car

    Took 5 years but just got this bad boy back earlier this summer. Still working out some kinks but have put 117 miles on her so far. 1967 Chevelle Malibu. Not the best pic but had to do some work to reach the size limits.
