    That's a nice beaver you got. Official Buc-ee's love thread

    Just like every chain, it varies by location. I've been in the occasional Wal-Mart where the store is clean and just as many helpful smiles in every aisle that Hy-Vee claims, and I've been in some that made me wish I was armed.

    30 years of sports talk radio.

    I just never felt there was enough local stuff to talk about that warranted all these shows. If they could have consolidated down to a good 2-hour morning show and a 2-hour afternoon show, it would have been better.

    North of the interstate on North Park Drive would make more sense.

    Norway first team in the knockout stage with a lead hitting the 90' mark, I believe.

    This is exactly why SiriusXM is a good if you are a sports fan. So many of ISU's games were on channel 84 this year, and if not on there, you can get them through the app. No need to flip stations as you drive out of range.

    Wife gets Hyper about once a week. It's just Rockstar with added flavoring. Their coffee also sucks.

    I think the deal was, he got robbed and was getting back at the people that he thought robbed him.

    Looking for a New Mattress

    As noted from earlier in this thread, we got a DreamCloud 3 years ago. It was a Classic hybrid, not Premier one. It's been really good.

    Because that music is 60-70 years old now and the people that generally listened to 50's and 60's music are pretty old now and are far out of any targeted demographic. Even SiriusXM moved 50's and 60's music way up the dial a few years ago.

    Holy crap. On Mother's Day, the line was ridiculous when we went by there. Combined with entitled people that are bound and determined to turn left out of that drive across 3 lanes of traffic no matter how busy it is leads to significant backups.

    And they're on for like 5 seconds every few songs. Some stations are worse than others though.

    I just tell the AI chatbot to take a hike and then actually cancel. Then they send me an offer in the mail two weeks later that is even cheaper than the chatbot's lowest offer.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    Got the garage floor done on Monday. It's been the perfect few days to be able to leave the garage door open and park the cars outside while the floor cures. Painting the walls today and plan to move stuff back in tomorrow night. Really lucked out this week.

    Wasn't he always in the 8:00 hour or did they extend the morning show past that for a while.? Frankly, I've had SiriusXM for a while and almost never listen to any of the OTA stations anymore.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Final 4 ***

    The draw of fresh, never frozen beef was a big draw for some time. Their burgers certainly tasted much better than most for years. My issue was with a particular location that had this annoying habit of taking an order and then not taking the next order in line until the previous order was...

    Easement question

    I highly encourage everyone to track down a copy of their plat or any surveys done of your property, as well as do a records search on your lot for any additional easements that may have been filed after platting. Many areas you can generally do this for free or even online. Always good to have...

    Your Biggest "Coincidence"

    One of my current neighbors' daughter's husband is the son of a woman my mom worked with for many years. What makes it coincidence is none of us are from the DM area. The husband's family was from a town over from ours growing up. His town had no HS so he could have gone to mine or to a town the...
