    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    But does the sensor do anything to control where the air is going? We've got a decent sized 2-story w/finished basement... We had Dual Zone installed about 2 years ago and the difference has been wonderful.

    I inherited a 1978 Corvette from my grandpa. It's the CYV3TT3. (cyvette was taken). My truck has ISU DSP (Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity I joined while at ISU and am still super involved in). Wifes car has WISCCY cause she's originally from wisconsin.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    Made the mistake of showering before I went out to water the garden and some newly planted plants this AM. That was a mistake.

    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    They're building one at the entrance of my neighborhood (Waukee off of Ute) - when we went to OKC in May they were pouring concrete. By the time we got back (10 days later), the studs were up and they're already working on the exterior. Absolutely detest having a gas station at the entrance of...

    Yeah - that's not "relaxing" for me. I like my lawn to look like Augusta and enjoy mowing.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    iHeart sucks. The only iHeart station I even listen to anymore is 100.3 - and that's rare (so many GD commercials). I'll stick with 93.3

    ***Jack Trice Stadium/Hilton Coliseum alcohol sales thread***

    Let's not get too hopeful. I would give that about a .00001% chance of happening.

    ***Jack Trice Stadium/Hilton Coliseum alcohol sales thread***

    Yes, but also what do those people expect? Honestly - it's a no question condition to doing this.

    Doesn't Confluence distribute for quite a few breweries in the area?

    The next brewery to bite the dust

    I'm honestly shocked that someone bought 515 and is reopening it. The few times I went there I was never impressed.

    FOX to buy Roku for $22 Biliion

    Yup - we got a hell of a deal a few years back on 42" Hisense TV's at Costco (they were $100, we bought 4 of them) - use a Roku on all of them because the built in software is horrendous.

    I've never had a house where I've had the sump pump run. Honestly amazes me but I've always been near the top part of the neighborhoods.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    Delayed taking one kid to school and another to the doctors office for her checkup. Glad we did, nothing bad, but just no need to be out in it if we didn't need to be.

    ***2026 NCAA Softball Tournament***

    It was absolutely packed Sunday when I was there for the first game. Even with it being 100 out. Granted, that lead to many people clogging up the stairwells looking for the breeze and shade which made it almost impossible to get up and down, but it was a full house. Wife/BiL/FiL said the...

    I always hold out hope and then I get that email and it reminds me that I'll likely never be able to go.

    ***2026 NCAA Softball Tournament***

    We have tickets for tonights games, but yeesh I have no interest in those at all. Wish we had them for tomorrow, but no dice, and they're incredibly expensive. We have some for Sunday though. Honestly I'm just cheering for Tech and Nebraska - every time the SEC loses an angel gets its wings.
