Hello gorgeous

Obnoxiously flavored yet so fucking good tasting beer acquired.

Think I’ll go to the fair today and actually do fair stuff.

Iowa at 44th is a fucking travesty.

There is no filter on. Not sure when DART busses added black lights but damn, I’m down with it.

Just finished slinging some beers. Now we commence drinking them.

Can we talk about movie previews? We live in a world where all new previews are on social media at our fingertips. There is zero need for 30 fucking minutes of previews before a movie. Also, we went to Fantastic 4. Why the fuck am I being shown a preview for Downton Abbey? Know your audience.

Oh hey it’s raining. Cool, cool.

Clarification on this. Guess they don’t charge for to go boxes, it’s a “packaging fee” for take out orders of 5%. But this situation a large fam came in to eat. At the end they ordered takeout for another fam member. But the restaurant added the 5% to the whole order.

Gotta get through today and tomorrow then I’m off until the 18th.

Just read on the foodie page that Rookies Sports Bar in Waukee is now adding a 5% surcharge to your bill if you request to go packaging. No fucking way. Hope they go under.

One of my Lil’ Smokies became a casualty at the potluck.

Made a little under 3lbs of taco beef last night for supper and saving for later. That 2.8lbs of hamburger cost me $20.50. Absolutely outrageous.

Hawley is proposing a Tariff Rebate. I mean if they want to give my household $2400 I’m not going to turn it down but maybe if their tariffs weren’t robbing us at the cash register we wouldn’t need Tariff Rebates in the first place. 🤔🤔🤔

Hippest dad at this 13 year old’s birthday party.

There are trees and power poles down all across the metro area from the storms that hit last night. Yet there was never a warning issued for any of the storms. This has to be a reflection of the cutbacks to the NWS because there is no way non-severe winds could’ve caused this damage.

If you’re rolling into HyVee with a gun holstered and you aren’t a cop I’m going to assume you’re such a pussy you are afraid of everything in the world or you have a tiny fucking penis and you are compensating for it.

LFG

It’s crazy to me that Lita Ford and Ozzy never performed “If I Close My Eyes Forever” together live.

The Kakert drama on the other site is fantastic reading.

This is some gangsta homemade Pico

Rich Hill tonight.

Your love for me has just got to be real… Before you know the way i'm going to feel… 🤘🤘

My first concert that I went to (as opposed to going with my parents) was Ozzy in Hilton Coliseum with opening acts Deftones and Korn. I believe it was February 1996. I would go on to see him again later that year in Cedar Rapids and then again in 97 when he reunited with Sabbath at OzzFest.

Finally trying Simon’s for the first time. #24thanniversary

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP RAINING!!!

Can’t wait for round two tomorrow.

New heirloom variety this year and damn, this one bangs. Cherokee Purple. Can’t wait to try them on BLTs tomorrow.

All this handwringing over not being able to water our lawns. Fuck that. Not only does my lawn not need water, I would be cool with a little mini drought. I’m sick of mowing this year.

The spam calls are getting fucking ridiculous. They’re starting to spoof local business numbers making you think it’s a legit call. I’ve know had one show as a call from my wife’s former employer and now one from MercyOne.

I hate that it’s promoting a chain but I can’t help it. The country fried sirloin at Texas Roadhouse is boss and you can’t convince me otherwise. It’s sofa king good.

Stop mic’ing up players while they are actually playing.

Guess we have to wait for a disgruntled insider to leak the Epstein files.

Let’s be honest, the HR Derby will never be as cool as the late 90s/early 2000s when the roid boys were crushing 600ft bombs.

Sick of seeing McAfee on my TV. He’s annoying as fuck.

I have graduated to broth. And maybe some toast later. Fun times.

Gatorade, ginger ale, and The Price is Right.

I’ve forgotten just how much I loathe vomiting.

Picked up a stomach bug and I have been sick as a dog the last 12 hours. Guess my vacation is gonna get extended another day at least.

The pasta salad side dish just about killed me. Had that 5-10 seconds there where I couldn’t breathe. Luckily it came up.

Did NASCAR holding a cup race in Newton kill the buzz for Indy Car at Newton? The photos I’ve seen from yesterday and today of the attendance is pathetic.

Hazy skies again from the Canadian wildfire smoke. It’s been doing this for two summers now. How the fuck is there anything left to burn in Canada?

❌ Lush green lawn that I have to mow multiple times a week. ✅ Dormant brown lawn I only have to mow once a month. Grumble grumble…

Two week vacation is 92.86% complete…

I love my wife but fuck sometimes she just gets me riled up. Just now, I’m chilling on the deck. She texts me “Netflix and YouTube aren’t working”. Ok… I’m not a fucking IT rep. Either turn it off and back on or unplug it and plug it back in. If those don’t work, watch something else.

It’s almost chilly outside.

Let’s be honest. It should just say “swimming not recommended in any natural body of water inside the state of Iowa.”

Okay the rain can stop now please.

Those storms really did a number on my tomato plants. Not happy about that. Luckily no damage otherwise which is crazy because those storms were intense. My house was making creaking noises I’ve never heard before.

Boom. #harvest
