    Route 70 vs 80

    80s great! But then again I live just off of it in Nebraska. Once you make it past Lincoln it is one of the better maintained roads around. And if you break down it's typically only 5-10 miles either way to a town with a mechanic until you hit the panhandle! I've only got about 8 hours to...

    Student loan refinance

    To be fair those corn farmers kids probably don't have student loans. . . Because their parents used the wildy advantageous tax code to show low or no income. Resulting in Jr getting full pell grants and fully subsidized health care for themselves all Jr, while he drove away to college in his...

    Student loan refinance

    To be honest there is no longer a fiscally conservative party. . . Each party just has their pet projects they use to buy votes. I literally had farmers calling "tariff relief checks" their "vote for trump" money. In the grand scheme of things $10,000 per borrower isn't shit. I'm 35 and...

    What to watch out for in used trucks?

    Ha, this is incredibly true! My 06 Silverado rolled over 260,000 miles today. I'm on my third oil pressure sensor and my dad (previous and only other owner) replaced 3. But taken good care of or used and abused that vortec motor keeps a going. Sadly I live in the world of road salt and she's...

    Company swag

    For employees we have done gift cards to a restaurant. Pick a nice steak house give them enough of a gift card that they can take their spouse out on the company for a night. But know your employees, gave two guys the same amount of money to a local bar and grill because they would never get...

    So you took them in Idaho??? Wouldn't it be easy to just glance at a map from where you were and see the names of thee mountains? Or your a terrible internet sleuth and are trying to get people to identify someone else's photo?

    90/10 Rejected

    I am happy for how things have worked out and think there can be some real good for residents and NR alike. I think if everyone puts the shoe on the other foot they would agree with Wyoming residents. Having tags fall into the NR draw does disproportionately affect residents and hurt their...

    90/10 Rejected

    Commodities is your answer. Commodities are bought and sold with price being based on supply and demand. Brokers don't give a shit what it costs to produce it. There are too many producers to force price increases. The coming reduction in herd size of cattle will cause upward price pressure...

    My Puppy Ate My Caribou Skull

    I'm not saying you should blame your wife for leaving the door open. . . But I do feel like it's a missed opportunity if you don't point out that because of that mistake she made, you're now booking a return trip to get a new skull!!! Of course you'll keep the damaged skull, but great excuse to...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    I tried to tell my wife we should move about 1/2 the money we have saved to build a house into ETH at $1050. . . She told me not only no but HELL NO!!! (She's a bit risk adverse). So when she asks about upgraded cabinets I'm just going to casually point out that we could have, but we didn't do...

    Attack of the Moths!

    Anyone ever bought some tempo and mixed up a 1 gallon sprayer and coated the outside of your house especially around your windows? Tempo is a very safe insecticide especially once dried and will kill the shit out of bugs!

    Should probably get this thread brought back to the top with college football just a few weeks away. . . Week 1 always seems to have some crazy lines

    Camper vs cargo

    Two different animals in my opinion. If you need something for the family, you need an RV. Cargo trailers are awesome but don't have much in the way of comforts that a wife would typically want. My dad, brother and I built out a cargo trailer after It was hailed on and we used the insurance...
