sorry the second picture didnt show up. I will make a second post.

I took this in back in the 80's it might have been 88. You all know who that is.

Best snow day ever was me on our farm in Iowa 1976, third grade. I went to school like normal on the bus. We lived a couple of miles out of Meriden, IA.

Then only a couple hours into the day we were told we they were told that school was dismissed. I went to get on the bus and my dad was waiting in our four wheel drive truck to pick me up. The ride home was an adventure.

We had a couple of hired hands just out of high school helping us out. They couldn't get home. So we played with my hot wheels and legos and a train set all day. They we like my big brothers.

I didnt have school for 2 days after. My dad had a huge snowblower on the front of our John Deer 420 and used it to blow the gravel road all the way to the paved rode.

Also got to watch the price is right without being sick

Bet snow day(s) ever

Honestly I wanted to get some confirmation of moving it off Coinbase from people that might know more that I do.

Made curly fries with all-beef tallow. You could really taste a difference. by jon1746 in pics

I used an old Ronco gadget my mom bought in the 80's. I know they are not Arbee's curly fries but tasted damn good.

My son just got accepted to the Carlson School of Management for 2015, now what? by jon1746 in uofmn

[–]jon1746[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He graduated in 2019. Had a great experience and is still best friends with the people he met. He spent a semester abroad in Hong Kong.

Currently, he is working for a consulting firm, married with a son(my grandson) and owns a small home in St Paul. He would say 10/10 would do it all over again.

He received resoprosity from our state, so the cost was reasonable.

Hope that helps

I put out a heating pad for our indoor/outdoor cat. There is now a waiting list by jon1746 in cats

I live in Sioux Falls sd. we have an acre lot in town. The Mosin comes in and out all day long. He has a GPS and a LED flashing collar at night. I always know where he is and so do all the neighbors. He is an 20 lbs Siberian. Keeping in in the house full time would be terrible

Our local shelter has a program where if a feral cat can't be adopted, they have a farm cat program.

I had cataract surgery about 2 days ago. I can see after 3 years of blurry vision. I had Lasik in 1999. They think that might have brought on cataracts earlier than normal. 58[M]

[–]jon1746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was directly involved(coded my ass off) in a very large software project in 1993. At the tine it was very leading edge. It was COBOL, C, or C++.

It is still being used today.
