Don and Pat Gustafson are long-time friends of mine, and live just a few blocks away. We socialize with them often, and you're right - they are fantastic people. I actually met them when I was going to Waldorf College in Forest City, they had a place called the Pizza Villa. The college kids hung out there a lot.
Bizarre - I know a couple with the same names. I was the youth group leader for their youngest daughter, about 35 years ago. They are probably in their 80s now.

I will—it looks a lot different. And it is a little sad that all that parking is gone. :(
And it was quite a bit of high dollar parking. I've been meaning to get over one weekend to see the progress, just haven't. Guess I should get over there then go up to FD for Taco Tico then head back. Just one round about trip to Ames and back.

An hour and finally done. Apparently they have chocolate issues. Something called a mocha trap gave issues. Then it was the modem. Then it was the “cheap” cable I put into the modem. He was really confused at the end. Had to be in my wall right? He checks the new cable he put on to replace my cheap one. Cuts the ends off and replaces on his cable. Everything works. He laughs.

I say so, it was the chocolate thing and bad modem? He’s yep. So I’m wondering if I get a bill.

Tell your wife to stop buying the expensive coffee so that you can afford a good cable and your problem is solved.

She doesn’t drink coffee. The guy also said that we may need to get a heavier cable since the one running from my neighbors house to ours is a little weak. Maybe I can just convince them to buy better service so we don’t lose as much.
 
I am guessing that calling out the mayor for low ball political trolling on my community FB page is going to get me booted. :oops: Generally a pretty clean page until he shows up and posts.

Looking out my window, a guy just pulled to a stop at an intersection on his bike and fell over sideways. @VeloClone - I am assuming that was you.
I knew a guy that bought a motorcycle years ago. After about 6 months sold it to a friend of ours. I asked him why and he said every time he came up to a stop he dropped the bike. I responded "You know you're supposed to put your feet down?"
 
The daughter's name wasn't Jeana, was it?
Kirsten. Flaming ginger hair. One of their older daughters had natural quadruplets...but I don't know her name. She was grown and gone when I met them. I just remember Pat being all excited about an explosion of grandbabies. :)

That would be excitement and massive terror all wrapped together.
 
I'm hiding in Honduras, I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The **** has hit the fan
Just yesterday Lawman said he wasn't going on vacation today and now he posts that he's in Honduras. He and his perfect mullet are probably having a pina colada as we speak.
 
For those of you looking to go school shopping in Ames, if you have a HS girl or an almost middle school boy, might as well go elsewhere. Daughter has dr appt in Ames today and wife took two youngest shopping there. It will all be gone for those ages.
