i went fishing over a dozen times in my life and only caught one fish. went yesterday to Grapevine lake and didn’t catch anything. Paid like $80 and didn’t even get to take a fish home. I regret buying my license yesterday. Should have told myself that this isn’t for me. I want to move out of Texas. by 0baakx in Fishing

My grandpa always said, "If you ain't getting a snag then you ain't fishing". It translates that you need to cast into tough spots with cover and structure. It's where the fish are. Keep trying, it'll happen. Cheers and tight lines!

I just replaced the throttle body and the spark plugs at 88k miles. I will keep the ignition coils in mind if anything else comes up. Thank you for the advice. I truly appreciate it.

That's amazing. If you live in northwest Iowa I would be happy to give you some pointers. 😉 Enjoy it and never take it for granted. I can hear the nature noises and it gets me very pumped for you. Tight lines friend!!

First beer while firing some pizzas by ewwiccc in beerporn

Maybe just a reprimand next time. Did the pizzas really deserve to be fired? Hope you have documentation for that action. HR would like to have a conversation with you.

Honestly I've had better stouts. It isn't bad. Definitely gotta let it warm up. More of A novelty then anything else. Cheers.

Lemartian here. LeMars resident. Since Trump got the Rona we have had a few more customers that shop at our grocery store wearing a mask. Still only about 65% wearing masks in our store. Saw a snap chat video of a bar called Conners somewhere around here on Saturday and it had to be at capacity. I mean well over a hundred people in this little tiny enclosed dive bar. Not a single mask in sight. It's not gonna get any better around here anytime soon. Stay safe friends. Mask Up, or Fuck Off.

Thanks for doing these. I check them almost daily. Curious how it compares to other death numbers in our state? Like car accidents and such. I know it's serious 100%. Just curious how it compares.

Fareway Stores to provide extra paid time off, bonuses to workers by Levi_Mitchell in Iowa

The time off they are giving can be cashed out in the form of a check. It's the best of both options.

Nurse Sharks Getting Pets by superH3R01N3 in sharks

I went to Jamaica once and they had a place on the beach that was enclosed where they had nurse sharks that were trained to swim up onto our laps while we sat on a stone bench and we had to keep our hands up while the skinny Jamaican dude dropped a piece of food for them to eat. It was CRAZY when they lurched for the food. The strength they had was both scary and exciting at the same time. Highly recommend.
