    Pet love appreciation thread

    My wife and I folded about a year ago and let our mini Goldendoodle, Otz, sleep in bed with us, namely because he just didn’t want to sleep in the kennel anymore. It’s kind of funny he’ll sleep with his head on a pillow sometimes- probably because he thinks he’s human or something

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    I hope Sankey has given his own schools that guidance about operating within Guard rails, but we all know he didn’t, and the $EC won’t.

    ***Official 2025 Weather Thread***

    Fair point. I should have given more context. It’s Tuesday PM- Thursday this week

    ***Official 2025 Weather Thread***

    Seriously it can stop raining anytime. The weather station had 5” last week, plus this shot of rain.

    The General's terrible anger unleashed

    I believe it would have been the announcement from Dr. Franklin of the treaty with Louis XVI, and subsequent arrival of the Marquis LaFayette that you’re thinking of.

    The General's terrible anger unleashed

    If you ever get the chance to watch Turn: Washington’s Spies, it does a good job of showing a couple of the incidents where Washington lost his temper: the defection of Charles Lee at the Battle of Monmouth and the mutiny of the Rhode Island Line. He was certainly a gentleman, but it was pretty...

    New Johnny’s starting next year.

    For Women’s BB we are, not men’s. It’s also entirely possible that I missed that email. I did get the one referenced up thread about the changes.

    New Johnny’s starting next year.

    It had to only be advertised to certain levels- I’m a Gold Donor and never heard of it until yesterday.

    2025 field work

    I'm the same- almost everything I do is online (NC Iowa). I have land in 2 different counties, but moved all of the farms over to one so at least I don't have to deal with 2 offices. I can see it being a struggle for some in the older generation to manage a portal.

    2025 field work

    I remember reading somewhere that Rollins' long term goal is to just have everyone file applications and paperwork through an online portal, which is fine for younger farmers, but the older ones are going to struggle with that piece. In the article below, OMB also is saying they want to get rid...

    2025 field work

    I was out at the in-laws last weekend in Eastern IA- they had some 111 day corn starting to shoot tassels. Our stuff in NC Iowa is probably a week or 2 away… I haven’t gone out this week yet to pull the whirl on a couple to check

    When to be a Karen/Old man w/ a lawn

    5am fireworks is BS, especially after a long shift. It’s like I said to people after the law changed so municipalities can’t ban fireworks on the 4th- they’re cool, but be respectful about it and don’t be a douche canoe. That goes for both the shooter and folks in the neighborhood. Without...

    Dan Winters leaving WHO

    I think he’s just doing it on a “when they need help and I feel like it” basis- I’ve seen Metinka Slater filling in a couple of times on WHO in the last few weeks. I think WHO is trying to push most of their full time meteorologists to fill the Roger Riley type role now that he’s retired, and...

    HOA’s and their nonsense

    It’s the guy that owns Whiskey River- he’s racked up $1M in legal fees trying to claim he’s not part of the Sun Valley Lake HOA

    Good thing I don’t normally listen to sports podcasts during the summer. I get it’s a slow time of year, but it is frustrating they can’t find anything else to talk about other than her.

    We Will Pizza!

    They used to have a lot of them on an end cap at the Waukee HyVee, but that was a couple of months ago- and I haven’t been back since

    Casey’s Sucks

    I remember years ago Kwik Star just sent you vouchers to redeem for using their credit card- it would be nice if Casey’s would do that. Another pain in the *** thing- why do I have to use the app to get my 10th pizza free? Just go back to the box tabs- it was so convenient vs. having to do...

    Casey’s Sucks

    There is a QR code in the app, but the whole rewards system is just a pain in the *** to use. I used it for a couple months then stopped, and now really only use it to order pizza through the app.
