Somebody has one, please share. My first experience (probably in my head) was growing up in Exira, Iowa. 14 years old in 1972. There was an unsolved murder one block away from my house. After that, a classmates family rented the house. I was in the bedroom, where it supposedly happened. He left...

So my Step Dad just gifted me an approx 70 x 100 machine shed, on 2 1/2 acres. Morten building with a gravel floor. Not trying to gouge anyone, but want what it is worth. Taxes around $2000 per year. I'm no farmer and don't know what the rent should be. Any farmers here with any idea? Rent...

Friend of mine works part time at Pilot Travel Center in Council Bluffs, IA. She called me last night. Said a customer showed her that best by date was some day in November of 2024. Went to the cooler and all cartons of that brand of milk were stamped with that date. Customer bought another...

Something I ran across :)

We have a local racing team out of Glenwood, Iowa racing there this weekend. Williams Bros Racing. Great family project and really nice folks.

I grew up in the sticks. One day my friend and I caught a snapping turtle. Decided to clean and cook it up. It turned out good, so we started catching them and have a yearly feed. We supplied turtles and a keg of beer. Most other people brought a side dish. They were sure a different critter to...

I used to purchase quality guns and tools. What have your investments been? Today, I lowered my expectations. I only bought a 1/2 gallon of milk. Never know at my age and condition. :ROFLMAO:

Guy I used to work with is a great guy, but don't cross him. ;) Worked with him when I first moved here, in an old building, with a flat roof. We were both mechanics. Every rain, water would leak into the shop and make the floor a mess. Must have been the low point there. Anyway, one day...

Can you beat this one? In my neck of the woods.

My Mom used to ruin any pork dish, by over-cooking. Personally, I like it either way, hot or cold, just not over done. My last G/F did the same thing. She would totally ruin any pork dish. I tried to explain ham was fully cooked and just needed heated up. Other than pork, she was a good cook...

I have been fighting getting on BITOG the last two days. Comes up with a 400 error saying something about too many letters in my heading. I should have written it down. Rebooted, cleared cookies and browsing history. Thought that did the trick and now the problem is back. I have BITOG saved in...

Or local machine seems to be always "out of order" Is it true that the employee's are not allowed to clean the machine? Only company techs? I have no dog in this fight, we have two better local choices. One even makes their own flavors and it is scooped out of the freezer. Just curious about...

I did once when I parked at the mall in 1991. Did not lock the car. 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass that I bought brand new. Walked out and climbed into another Cutlass, same exact color. Put my key into the ignition and could not start the car. Then I looked around and it was not my car. Mine was...

If not, you can buy it here...but pricy. Back when I was a kid and trapping, we got about $1 for a possum. ;) https://www.exoticmeatmarkets.com/category-s/224.htm

An elderly man, while reversing his car, hits the car of the guy behind him in an expensive sports car. Enraged, the guy and his bodyguard hop out of the car and confront the old man. “Look what you did to my car,” he yells."You’re going to give me $10,000 right now or my bodyguard is gonna beat...

Found this and thought it was pretty neat!

I just ran into this. Hard to believe the new machines. Very interesting!

I used to have a fair size garden every year. Old age and a broken down body precludes that any more. Used to can tomatoes, carrots, green beans and beets every year. Always had green and hot peppers as well. Pretty much grew every thing you could grow in Iowa. Never had much luck with cabbage...

Personally, I choose Dorothy Lynch. Open to other options.

Extra Long rifle. Added capacity for powder.
