    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    He spent a good chunk of time today complaining about KCCI. It was weird. Not the first time either.

    2022 Concerts

    2023 80/35 announced today. I love The War on Drugs so it’s safe to say I’m pretty pumped for Friday. https://www.80-35.com/lineup/

    Darryl from New Shannon on KXNO shows

    The second I heard “Derek in Iowa” I cringed and knew exactly who was coming. Thankfully it was brief and not as bad as I was expecting.

    Bruce Reimers flashback picture

    Grew up in Humboldt. My dad took me to see him for one game when he was with the Bengals, and one game when he was with the Bucs since we were already in Florida on vacation. Good memories.

    You get one restaurant that’s closed in Ames to come back…

    There are only about 4-5 big houses on the course last I knew. I worked on one of them 12-13 (or more) years ago. I don’t know if it has been mentioned yet, but I really liked the lunch specials at Tradewinds downtown. Unhealthy food in unhealthy quantities, and always a random movie on during...

    Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives - Des Moines metro

    Latin King changed ownership sometime in the last couple years and recently had a slew of health code violations. It is not what it once was.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    Each time commercial breaks come on and all I hear is ads for questionable local restauranteurs, Newsmax “battling the woke agenda”, and pleas for complete submission to law enforcement under any and all circumstances, I really start to question my listening choices.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    As of a couple months ago I’m pretty sure he still owned them. Apparently he’s opening a new pizza place, too...

    Home building costs

    The builder that I work for in the DSM metro starts at around $300/sq ft. This is for high end everything. Most are less than this.

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Didn’t know where to post this. I have 2 tickets to Waxahatchee playing in the Quad Cities on Thursday night. If anyone wants them, let me know. It was scheduled to be at Codfish Hollow but was moved outdoors to Wake Brewing in Rock Island. Having a baby that day so it’s a no go for us.

    8/10 weather

    Watched it on the deck at my job site on Lake Panorama. It was unreal. On the drive From Panora to Ames I saw countless trees down, trees through several houses, a collapsed barn, several pole sheds with steel missing, a work trailer on its side, a travel trailer still attached to a truck on its...

    Darryl from New Shannon on KXNO shows

    I worked around Centerville for a few months last year and occasionally heard the weird southern accents. My wife’s uncle lives in the middle of Illinois and inexplicably has a southern accent when no one else in his family from the same town does. I don’t understand it.

    Storage Shed Advice

    I built a 10’ x 12’ a few years ago on a concrete slab. I was told by a city inspector (Ames) that a shed of that size or smaller did not require a permit. Also, you don’t really need a specific set of plans unless you’ve never framed anything before. Sheds aren’t generally complicated, but I...

    Are you still working?

    I work outdoors, and usually alone so that is still happening. My wife works for Meredith and is currently working from home.
