You know you're getting old, when after my Vegas trip next year, the next most exiting thing will be paying off a vehicle. LOL. I'm legit stoked about that!!

I almost ran into this guy who was hanging from my tree a couple weeks ago. Pretty crazy year so far for bugs around here.

That’s funny because I saw one of those for the first time ever on my front porch and was momentarily terrified. Then I later learned it is called a banana spider or something similar and is largely harmless!

I love those spiders ! You can tell what time of summer it is by how large they are and how much web they have spun. They always start so small in spring and early summer then by August they are massive palm sized spiders and even larger!
 
Was expecting a package Monday from USPS. It didn't come, but no worries. Then yesterday we went for an evening walk at 6:30 and noticed the flag still up on mailboxes and that mail hadn't come yet. We return from our walk and mail still isn't here. I'm in the front yard with the kids, and the mail person comes. Puts mail in the mailbox, but no package. Dang... I check the status this morning, and they mailperson put the status too "Delivery Attempted - No access to Delivery Location" I watched you with my own 2 eyes drive up to my mailbox, which is at the end of my driveway. No, the delivery wasn't attempted because you're running behind and just want to go home. Best part is... It's the 2nd time in 2 weeks. Last week, same thing, except they tried "Wildlife in the area" and again, kids playing outside and I watched it go down. And they want to get bailed out too?

I’ve had that happen a few times. I say let them go under and have Amazon control everything. Amazon is amazing.
 
If anybody on here has an Xbox One and a Xbox One Bluetooth enabled controller, you can now play any Xbox game on your phone as long as you have a WiFi/cellular connection. It literally streams your console to your phone

I bet half the people on here who claim to be snow lovers would not feel the same way about snow if they had to deal with it on a daily basis. Shoveling, driving in it, etc. Snow is a lot more fun when you can just stay at home and enjoy it.
 
Got bored , here are the last 3 April’s in dubuque .

I lived it. Believe me when I say you become numb to it eventually. Snow blowers are nice and ice fishing, snowmobiling, and hunting in the snow are things I miss so much. You just don’t notice the snow and cold. It’s just another day.

One of the most unusual weather events in Iowa history occurred as an intense low pressure system moved northeast across Missouri and into the Great Lakes region, passing over the far southeastern corner of Iowa. Meanwhile an unseasonably cold area of high pressure spread down the northern...
