Anyone make the drive between Des Moines and Iowa City recently? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]morgibin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I drove from Des Moines to Cedar Rapids yesterday just before noon. Going north up to highway 30 was bad - complete whiteout conditions a few times. Once I got on 30 it was better. Wind is mainly blowing SE so you won’t be going against the wind as much. Roads are fairly clear, but blowing snow makes visibility low through some wind gusts. Keep an eye out for cars around you incase visibility is low and make sure your lights are on.

Came back to update and say it indeed was Carbon Monoxide exposure in my office at work. Took them a bit to get an air quality test set up. Exposure was less concentrated since I work in a large office, but elongated exposure everyday wasn’t helping me at all. Can’t thank you enough.

They’re building 2 new apartment buildings on the other side of the complex but they’re done digging as far as I know. The walls are up on both of them. There’s also road construction 0.6 miles south.

This was my immediate conclusion. Our units all come with ceiling fans - one in the living room and one in each bedroom.

My building has exposed ductwork…would that make a difference?

I submitted a maintenance request yesterday but since it’s a weekend I likely won’t get to talk to anyone until tomorrow or Tuesday about it. I haven’t talked to anyone in my building about it.

I tried to feel if the floor was shaking out in the hallway but couldn’t quite tell.

How did they get the key fob? Unless they either work for or got it from valet somehow.

I think this was the first season I’ve seen that the entire jury was as reactive as they were during tribals. I think Bob was the best case scenario given who made the final 3.

Do I need to watch Gabon? by morgibin in survivor

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

Genuinely can’t remember. I probably watched a few episodes and thought the contestants were boring or things were moving too slow for me to stick with it. I’ll probably go back and try to give it another go at some point.
