In the movie "Midnight Run", the train scene filmed in Flagstaff, AZ actually foiled a kidnapping. The kidnappers saw or heard the movie police cars, thought they were real, pushed the kidnappee away and took off.

I’ve got a hot SIL(no pics) that lives in Flagstaff. She’s super high maintenance though which is a huge turnoff for me. CSB

My kids start school next week. My oldest is going to be a senior. I’m not real sure how I am feeling about that. Or, frankly, how I’m supposed to feel.

Enjoy your eldest child’s senior year as it goes by quickly. When our youngest kid was a senior, she was involved in several sports. My wife and I enjoyed going to all those sporting events…we miss that time now.

Agree. We’re moving our oldest out to Rider University in NJ in a couple weeks. It still hasn’t really sunk in that he’s leaving.

You might be right. Plus I had to search the web to find out what it was! I’ll keep you posted if they stalk me.

trust me. they will.

Thanks. We sure will. His senior soccer tryouts start today. Pretty surreal that all these years and here we are... Again, not real sure how to feel about it. I try to give my self all the silver linings, but then reality sets in and it makes me sad.

Cade is somehow healthy I have us at 11-1. Leaning 10-2 though. 10-2 and stomped in BIG title game again we are out of playoffs. Thoughts?

If Cade is healthy my heart says Iowa will be 11-1, my head says 9-3 and my gut says 10-2.

For what it’s worth I think there is a likelihood of multiple 11-1 teams (say OSU loses to Oregon but beats Michigan and Oregon loses 1 they shouldn’t). So 10-2 may miss the B10 championship.

On a related note: anyone know the new tiebreaker rules for determining the B10championship game? I’ve looked and can’t find a thing.

What would be interesting is an 11-1 team that loses a non head to head tiebreaker case and the other team gets smoked in the championship and is 11-2…then who goes to the playoffs? Should be a lot of fun speculation later in the season for sure.

Guessing this was a different show he went to, but I saw the Counting Crows a few weeks back on Saturday at the John Deere Classic after golf was over and I must say I was extremely disappointed.

They were probably my favorite band growing up I would say damn near and I was really looking forward to some feel good feels and nostalgia, but they were horrible.

Tried playing a bunch of songs that weren't their hits and then when they did play the hits, they did the whole thing where they had to change up the arrangement and sing it all different and sh*tty.

At least that's what I thought anyways.

My experience was exactly the opposite.

That is thing about concerts; you never know what you are going to get.

I know this happens everywhere, but trust me it is worse in Ames MooU being here.

Anybody get sick of somebody in a big farm truck that speeds up to tailgate you? I love setting the cruise at the speed limit and torment them.

I'm leaving work now and going to take a long ass shower.

NOTHING and I mean NOTHING makes me go the exact speed limit quicker than a jackass tailgating me.

Glad I'm not the only one.

We spent last week in the Boundary Waters. Skeeters were just as bad as expected. We had headnets, long sleeves/pants for the peak periods. 8:30 to 10:30 PM they are unreal. 100% DEET used judiciously when indicated. A thermacell is a lifesaver and absolutely works—I might bring 3 next time. We were fine, but I wouldn’t want to go without the above countermeasures.

Headnet, deet, thermacell, long sleeves/pants and you’re fine.

We're full time in Colorado now and excavation for the house is finally done. Tomorrow they are bringing the monoslab forms so we can get that installed, then it will be time for layout and concrete for the slab. I'm trying to upload photos but this website is the absolute worst.

So, where did you have lunch? The walleye at Fort Mulligans is a solid back up.

I should googled that too. Went to the Hungry House. I was with a couple of other guys, or I wouldn't have picked there.

Sweet. There are days I miss running an excavator, Tom Petty on the Sirus XM, moving dirt ( looks more like gravel in your case ) kind of therapeutic till the boredom sets in...

I got about 10 chigger bites on my legs last week at our vacation in Missouri last week. Luckily those bites didn’t go any further up north. It’s getting much better. A lot of aloe. Csb.

Nice buddy. So that’s not you, but that’s your jacket?? 😉

Sounds alot like mowing.

Not at all. I’ve seen and felt her real tits, not her new fake ones though. I like her for short periods of time and would definitely hit it, but I couldn’t be married to her. Do you have any hot SIL’s? Have you seen their tits? Didn’t think so. Therefore it is you who sucks, but everyone already knew that.

Have you watched any of the videos about remote excavating? My buddy says there is no way you can do a proper job remotely, so just curious about another operator's opinion

The corn is about as high as I have ever seen it. Okay, slightly political, it is partially because of all the pig s**t we put down that eventually kills the Gulf of Mexico, but that isn't our problem.
It's mid August and it's freaking tall and looks very healthy. I've been in Minnesota, Indiana, and Illinois besides Iowa the last two weeks, and it's just gorgeous everywhere. So glad Mrs. Lucas inherited good land. I like being the kind of farmer that drives past the land a few times a year and just cashes a rent check.
