I always drop the head and going to the dealership is 1/4 of the ways round. Going home I get to cover the other 3/4 which is interesting. People freak out when they see me also, come on it’s a town of 3500, it’s not like it’s downtown Des Moines and even then they probably have seen a few on a the road somewhere.
Marion has put in a few roundabouts with a few more planned. I like them. The county/DOT also put one in on County Home Road this year as a part of their upgrades to it. It is great now but it wouldn't need to carry that much traffic if they would just finish Tower Terrace like they have been planning for decades.
Because some people (my mom and the gfs dad) think its not the holiday unless we meet on the day.
Thats a different conversation though.
Is that finally done? We take CHR going back and forth between home and our parents places. That detour is annoying.
Just reopened last week. One more phase left for next year to finish the whole project. I agree this years detour was stupid.
Only nice thing about that detour is we found a sibling to our Dalmatian.
Other than that, screw that detour.
So....seeing that I get to deep fry this turkey, how do I do it? I know that I should stick the bird in my the fryer with water and see how full of oil it should be before I do anything, but everything I’ve seen says peanut oil (I honestly can’t take things fried in peanut oil, something I picked up with lactose intolerance). So I can cook it and eat the ham and have the wife mad at me or eat the turkey and regret it for 24 hours. I’m pretty much screwed either way.
It says to put the oil to 350 degrees, is there a thermometer that I dip in there to see the temp? Not fond of being that close to burning oil

Well yeah, obviously.
Funny enough Thanksgiving isn't even on the same date every year, or even necessarily in the same week. And I have all sorts of thought's on J.C.'s big day.
I've had plenty of family/holiday get togethers that were dwindled down or moved due to people being sick, weather, whatever, and amazingly, we all were fine.
Yeah, it always a fight every year with the holidays. Im glad we arent dealing with it for Thanksgiving at least.
Is it JCs birthday? Hey JC how is the the swingers club holding up through this?
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll let you all know when I'm getting close.
I found out last summer that in one of the small towns near where I grew up, there was a swingers club of some sort. I knew at least 3 people involved in it.
Apparently the end result was pretty bad for a couple of relationships. Who'd a thunk?
We had a couple who were members of our church in name only. All of a sudden, he starts coming regularly and it turns out that they were in a swingers group a town away and he wanted to quit but she enjoyed it too much so they split. He has since remarried, not sure if she was in it. It’s just not my thing I guess, don’t see the attraction to it.
Got a lot done this weekend while still relaxing and watching every moment of the beat down.
Took some stuff out to the landfill on Saturday and it continues to be very busy. There are areas that early this year there was nothing are now piled high. I wonder how many years of it's lifespan have been lost due to the two major storms.

The wood and stuff like that should decompose quickly in a landfill. The issue would be shingles or vinyl siding stuff.
Especially with the hail storm there are thousands of houses worth of shingles out there now.
Tree debris is at different locations. According to the city 2.8 million cubic yards of tree debris has been removed thus far.
