I skipped a bunch of pages but worked as a bouncer at Fred’s late 90s early 2000s and I will say Mark does things the right way. It was made very clear to break up fights and remove problems. If you fought back you would not work there for long. Total 180 from the other Tigerland bars I worked at. M...

re: Southerner up North with snow

Bought the wife a snow blower after I got sick of paying $100 a pop for the lawn care folks to clear it. I still end up doing it most of the time because I think it’s awesome shooting snow 100 feet in the air annd all over the place. Got almost a foot in Bettendorf, IA today. Different world than li...
Nothing happens the entire movie and that’s what is supposed to be so good about it. IMO it’s just for people to pretend they like so they can seem smart or something. I wouldn’t waste your time. It’s dogsh!t. ...

It was packed and I couldn’t even get a seat at the bar to eat. Had to settle for Burger King on the way back to the Double Tree which I am now regretting lol. Steaks are awesome though $40-$80 range and comes with a salad bar that’s good and a traditional steakhouse side…baked potato, fries, steame...

Regarding The Drover: I’m actually in Omaha tonight and will go eat there and post some prices. I got turned on to it a few years ago by a client and try to go every time I’m in town. Yes, they still have a salad bar and the atmosphere is like a mix or a 70’s porno and western saloon. I actually go...

I alway enjoy a whiskey ribeye at The Drover and they usually have a good bourbon selection. Not fancy but one of the better steaks in Omaha IMO...

Had a co-angler wear me out from the back of the boat on Lake Eufaula using a purple one with white dots, dragging it on a Carolina rig. Wasn’t one with spinners, it was just a crooked pre-rigged worm that cork screwed behind the weight. ...
Pretty clear he’s trying to intimidate people to take down things when he is clearly liable for some despicable behavior. ...
[quote]Which one pays back the most at each of these places? Boom. Case closed. I tried to maximize credit card rewards in the past and quickly got tired of it for the extra $7 dollars you’ll get back vs the alternative. I have one card that gives back something everywhere so I don’t have to think a...

re: Car Rental Advice

Posted by ryanwood99 on 12/13/22 at 2:27 pm
Most policies from major carriers transfer. Always worth double checking. If you get any of the coverages, the damage waiver is usually the one that’s worth it. As long as you return the keys you are pretty much good to go, at least with Enterprise. Enterprise will usually match any price around and...

2015 Legend V20 w/ a merc 250 pro xs. Had it built, bought new and it’s decked out. It was right at $90k when all said and done. Be hard pressed to find a better bass boat. Where I’m at now on the upper Mississippi you need a tin rig with a mud motor to compete in many of the tournaments though lol....
Moved to Iowa and it’s pretty great. I wish the fishing was better but Bettendorf is like going back in time. No crime , great schools, everyone outside. Property taxes are really high though. I pay more per month here than I would pay in a year in AL or LA. ...

Light switch next to the bed so you can turn off the lights without getting up. Drop plugs in bathroom drawers for all her hair driers and what not. Outlets and spigots on all exterior walls. ...
Mono backing is a good idea if the spool doesn’t have any anti slip pads. Also a good idea to help have a fuller spool to take up line faster. 100 yds of #15 braid doesn’t take up much spool and you want the spool to be at least 3/4 full. A properly filled spool will spin faster on a bait caster and...
For the price range the Kistler Helium is the best IMO. Lots of great options these days but that is a fantastic rod. ...
