Weather Thread 1/30-2/2: Possible Major Storm
This storm is extra sucky. I live in Toledo and my wife has a scheduled C-section on Wed in Cedar Rapids. Real fun to drive an hour if she goes into labor on her own. -

What about a watch? Or don't kids wear those nowadays? I know only the real cool kids wore digital watches when I was in school and guessing you fit that category. -

Learn directions. Not left, right but north, east, south, west. I was telling a kid that works for us that the place he was looking for was on the north side of the road. He wondered if that would be right or left because the house would be on a different side of the road depending on what... -

Lake Ponderosa
Yeah we live in Toledo so it is 40 minutes which is a big reason we went there. Holiday Lake is about 30 minutes but is about a third of the size with the same amount of people. Ozhawk is way off base but I hope it isn't like that, I don't want to deal with that many hok fans when I'm there. -

Breaking into a garage
Pretty easy to break in through a garage door. If you are strong enough, you can just lift open the door even if it has an opener. It will open about 2 feet, enough to crawl under and go push the opener. -

Lake Ponderosa
My family (parents, me/wife, sister/bil) bought a place out there and closed on it last Friday. Anyone else have a place there? How busy does it get on the weekends for skiing or tubing? Is the marina there any good? Any other info on the lake would be great! -

First date..outdoorsey ideas ... got any?
If you could delay the date to Friday, wouldn't it be East Sider night at the State Fair. You would look pretty good by comparison (unless either of you is from the East Side). -

First date..outdoorsey ideas ... got any?
Yep in my experience on first dates is to be outside doing some activity when it is 95 and I am sweating like a ***** in church. Although a few girls liked that but that tells you more about that girl than my sweet moves. My uncle told me when I first started dating to go out with girls that... -
