    DIY workbench

    I built this one at my previous house (though I skipped the upper shelf, as I had existing wall shelves): https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-build-a-workbench-super-simple-50-bench/ It's a fairly efficient design for material use with how cuts are laid out, I use Rubbermaid Roughneck...

    WTB: Wanted - 2 tix for Oklahoma MBB Feb 28

    Looking for a pair of tickets to OU MBB, to catch a game with former college roommate. Guessing our price range is probably lower-mid rows of upper deck, but open to about anything. Figured I'd try here before buying on the open market.

    What is the Greatest Soundtrack Ever?

    For top to bottom quality, my vote would probably be Forrest Gump. Tier 2 - Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing, Detroit Rock City, Grease, Dazed and Confused, Animal House, Blues Brothers, maybe Top Gun South Park - Bigger, Longer, Uncut will also always be one that has a special place in my...

    Why is life worth living?

    Strongly agree with this. Regardless of the exact context, if things outside your control are making for a **** sandwich, I think exercise that gets your heart rate up is one of the best easy ways to help yourself physically/mentally. Gives you some solitude to reflect and game plan future...

    After market wheels

    As an extension of this, the website car-part.com will allow you search a bunch of salvage yards at once and see what they have (generally with prices). Then once you figure out who has them, call and ask if they'll give you a better price on a set of 4.

    I need a Hok joke.

    Why does Kirk Ferentz always drive below the speed limit? He’s scared to pass. What do you get if you cross Brian Ferentz and a groundhog? Six more weeks of bad football.

    Need Podcast Recommendations

    I tend to like edutainment stuff, with some lean towards financial and behavioral economics topics; the ones I tend to listen to most / find consistently interesting are: Freakonomics Planet Money The Journal (daily, relatively short episodes, from Wall St Journal) Radiolab

    Hiking

    Sky Pond hike in RMNP is one of my all-time favorites. You're above the treeline pretty quickly and get some really great views. Or if you want something shorter, Nymph-Dream-Emerald Lake hike in the same area of RMNP is one of the best return on effort hikes I've ever been on. Hemmed in...

    Nashville

    I thought the studio tour was neat/interesting, also. That, and seeing Vince Gill and Time Jumpers at bluebird cafe (this was 8-9 years ago and at that time they had a weekly residency) were easily the highlights. Cash museum was ok. Bars on Broadway didn't impress me at all... lots of live...

    On That Note: This Ain't No Party, This Ain't No Disco, This Ain't No Foolin' Around

    This thread title immediately reminded me of the opening lines of All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow, but assuming I couldn't be the only one to make that association and wanting to avoid a double post I looked through the whole thread... only to find Rulzzz finally posted it on page 9. So, here's a...

    On That Note: Give Heaven Some Hell

    Here's a couple that fit the bill... I've always had a soft spot for both of these due to the combination of catchy melody and macabre lyrics. (Posting a bootleg because on this one bc the official video is unreasonably edited) You know your papa loves you; good children go to heaven. You...

    On That Note: New ’22

    I've had a few recent finds on the "newly discovered" front, though... so splitting this out in a separate post. I have pretty broad musical tastes, possibly bordering eclectic. When it comes to hip hop, I've always been a big fan of Jurassic 5, but they've been broken up for almost 15 years...

    On That Note: New ’22

    Aside from Lizzo stuff already mentioned, this is about the only song I know of that came out this year that I actually like: I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic (from Top Gun) FWIW, I've been DJing school dances for 22 years... and it seems like the past year or two especially we've been playing...

    Iowa State Fair - Yay or Nay

    You may or may not already be aware, but the group that does the tractor shuttles (Clearfield Lions Club) is based right on the Taylor-Ringgold county line. There are a bunch of people that camp all week to drive the shuttles. I went about every year for a good stretch growing up, partly due...
