I graduated ISU nearly 50 years ago, and went through many lean years but entered each with anticipation. The last few have been for the most part some of the best over that period and we are entering football and basketball seasons with realistic chances to continue on that same path. Since my heart attack I realize my time is running short, making each new season at a chance to get to greater heights more meaningful (to me).
Each year we have to endure that (seemingly) long stretch between the NCAA tourney and the start of football and this forum is loaded with off-topic items to fill that void. Time is quickly running out to prioritize those topics and I'm here to gain all that valuable knowledge.
So what have you learned? For me I found out that I may have not been wiping properly. I learned how to buy an acreage (or home), that a lot of people don't like rain, I don't know how to maintain my lawn, and most of the appliances I've purchased over the years are junk. I learned more than I needed to know about Hines's mom. I've been using the wrong gas in my mower and should switch to electric. I've failed to plan properly for retirement. I need to switch my steaming services. My taste in music and movies is sub par. Very few are happy at work but most have vacationed at places I could never afford. Marijuana is better than beer, and craft beer is better than off the shelf, but Busch lite tops all. My garden could be more productive and my woodworking skills need to improve.
Thanks to all who have contributed this off season as I truly appreciate this community.
