Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

Is the construction on Highway 69 between Des Moines and Ankeny finished or would it be better to take the interstate to Ames?

Not sure if you have to take backroads to the lumberyard, eerrrr….Ames, or not.

@stormchaser2014 did you know that Tom Hanks was originally in Twister instead of Bill Paxton?

Yeah, there were like 30 different actors Jan de Bont considered before Paxton. Even Garth Brooks.

I posted this in another thread, but I'm sharing it here as well because it simply seems appropriate today.

I learned 2 new German phrases today. "Hast du ihm gerade Bombe gegeben?" Which literally translates to "did you just give him a bomb?", but it's now apparently teenage slang for "did you just hit him?". Then "Du kleiner dreckiner Huhrensohn!", which means "You little filthy son of a whöre!"

No I came across a video on reddit where a teenage girl was bullying a teenage boy and she was trying to get him to hit her but he wouldn't because she was a girl, so she slapped him, then he punched her. The girl filming asked if she just hit him, the bully girl shouts "you son of a *****", goes back for more, tries to kick him, but he tackles her.

I can do maybe 30 seconds of physical work, then it’s stop for a minute and try to inhale this thick steam called air.

Going to work soon. Not sure how many times I'll have to stop on the walk to the car.

Another one is “das ist ja der Hammer” which literally means “that is the hammer” but means “that’s awesome”

Also, who knew late Friday afternoon was a convenient time to call the IRS? I’ll probably be on hold for 30 minutes to an hour, but that’s better than the system saying “we can’t talk to you today, kthnxbye”

 

[WIBadger]

Oh you’ve got to be kidding, the call just dropped

Still in the drought?

Still in the drought?

It did rain this week but the answers is yes. One rainfall isn't a drought breaker. I did get somewhere between a 1/4" and 1/2" depending on the nearest NWS gage. Guess more like the 1/4" and it was all in like in 15 minutes.

Yeah that just let you skip 1 days worth of watering. I picked up .55 Thurs afternoon it was much needed. Could have used 4x that if it came in 12 or 24 hrs,

Today felt more like a 'dry' heat but now it's pretty miserable out. Supposed to break tonight.

All considered it's been a real tolerable summer temps-wise and August tends to have far less humid/cooler nights which is just around the corner.
