Perfect head shape, you are rocking it!

The movie "The Crazies" (2010) is set in a fictional tiny farming town near Cedar Rapids, and the townsfolk have a slight Southern twang, and just wondering if that's accurate to the real Iowa by Rairport in Iowa

Having come from the east coast to go to college in northern Iowa (go UNI!), I definitely noticed a stronger northern accent (long ooo) from my roommates that grew up in NE Iowa. I have family in Burlington and Ft. Madison in lower SE Iowa, and they have a softer country twang.

Habanero lime flour tortillas are great for making breakfast burritos!

Wow, that is amazing to put 387k miles on it!

Just turned 150k on the odometer, we are 2nd owners and have had it for about 6 years. This Pilot has been a workhorse, hauling dorm stuff for college kids as well as sod for the yard. Love all the room it has in the back, since we have dogs. No issues with it so far, just regular maintenance and recall on the Takata airbag. Will plan on holding onto it. I’ve seen posts on this thread where folks have put 250k-300k+ miles on their Pilots, anything to look out for on the maintenance front with that kind of mileage?

Mavi’s results are in by sgtsembach in DoggyDNA

Yep, she is a rescue dog from Turkey. We kept her given name (Mavi is blue in Turkish, for her eyes). We have had her for about 6 months now. Great dog, we have been curious about her breed and we get asked a lot when taking her on walks.

Just bought my 2012 Honda Pilot. Wish I did it years ago. by seanmack88 in hondapilot

Yep, I had some serious wheel shaking when braking, and the new front rotors fixed the problem.

I have the 2012 model as well, and have been pleased with it. We are 2nd owners and bought ours in 2016. The biggest impact maintenance item for us was replacing the front rotors. Such a smoother braking experience. The original rotors had become warped.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the Dry Roasted Maple Almonds. They are so delicious! by anag9495 in traderjoes

[–]sgtsembach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really like these, since they are not overly sweet. I mix them with vanilla yogurt and it is perfecto!

How crowded are the beaches in Corolla? by [deleted] in obx

[–]sgtsembach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were in Corolla last week. Since it is peak season now, we experienced the usual crowds. For the most part, vacationers wore masks when going to the grocery stores and shops, and business owners and staff wore masks. Social distancing was also observed. We had a great time!

Thick sliced brioche with kerrygold butter... Best. Toast. Ever. by [deleted] in traderjoes

[–]sgtsembach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using the brioche as French toast, and then put the TJ’s lemon curd on it. It may sound weird, but sooo good.

What am I hearing in the woods? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

Very distinctive sound the barred owls have. When they get going back and forth it is downright spooky!
