I’ve never been one to spend hours building my own playlist of music, mostly have let some radio station do that work for me. So I thought it would be a good thing to just say play ‘music’ to the AI. However since I usually don’t spin the dial so to speak, AI has chosen a narrow playlist for me that results in repetitive music? Now I’m having to spend time trying to teach AI I’m not as narrow as it thinks I am!?😡😡😡

All you need is Ozzie/Black Sabbath, Metallica, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Rolling Stones, Elvis, and Temptations.

Playlist will build itself

Ok does it make me lesser of a man or I guess bad husband if I absolutely detest putting stuff together? We have a very generous MIL and occasionally she ships things. Last week we were sent some additional patio/deck furniture and chairs and other stuff.

Anyway my entire life (when I can afford) I buy preassembled. I hate putting stuff together. Almost makes my brain hurt. Anyway...she sent some chairs and tables and other stuff and all require assembling. I'm half tempted to return and pay the difference for assembled.

PS....she won't ever give us a gift card. 

Surely you have a friend available.

That’s a bummer - it’s a long time ago, but that sucks you didn’t go to MSA in 1980.

I’ve got several friends with Purdue connections either via diploma or fan, my nephew just graduated from Purdue, and I’ll be happy for them, Matt Painter, and the Purdue fans who join us here. It’s such an exhilarating and exciting experience to win the national championship even from a fan perspective. So if Purdue does indeed win this year, get tickets to the Final Four - do whatever you have to do to go, and just enjoy and soak it in!! No way did I think it would be almost 40 years before IU’s next championship. No way. Enjoy it in the moment!

So you're predicting a 2027 Championship?  I hope you're related to Nostradamus!

Living down here in Evansville, we were the host for the Division II Championship, although not sure why as we no longer have a Div. II team since USI moved up to D1. But anyways, the Championship game was on CBS and Montana State won on a 3 pointer at the last second 88-85. Montana State must have an awesome BBall program as I see where their Ladies team also won a national championship as well!

WOW!!

Did they host it at the Ford Center?  If so I can see why. Evansville isn't a bad location either, although I have mercy on anyone's souls who stayed on the East side.

Meanwhile ... Kelvin Sampson has a 1 seed and he is in the "Hall of fame" conversation based on the announcers in yesterday's Big12 championship. 

I wasn't happy with the hire at the time because we were still fresh off RMK. 

In retrospect Major f up. He was a diversity hire IU wanted but also a great coach. I only believe less than half the stories about culture.  It hasn't been a story anywhere else he's been.

Comments like this never cease to amaze me. Not based in any sort of reality just silly opinion. 

Purdue has been to the Elite 8 5 times. IU has won 5 Championships. 

Purdue always flames out early.

Doing some oxtails for the week. I smoked them for about an hour then moved to a pan with some beer, seasoning, and peppers. It is supposed to be based on pepper stout beef. 

Looks awesome. Where did you oxtail?  Been wanting to try that forever.

I'll have to dive in later but man UConn, Iowa St, Illinois, and Auburn is the toughest. West is a joke....and contrary to our local friend Purdue's region is a very, very easy path unless Kansas is truly healthy. If not the toughest tests are a Tennessee team who has choked more than Illinois in tournament play and a Creighton team that we just don't know about. One day great one day suck.

Kentucky a 3 is laughable with Auburn being a 4. Sparty being a 9 is comedy hour but the people who built NET have to justify it somehow.  BYU at 6 seems like they were underseeded. 

Math dorks. NET and analytics were put together by nerds who probably never even learned how to dribble. 

The internet has allowed losers to become professionals at things that used to be daily life.

Of course he is. And Osterman is a good mouthpiece for them. He's not an IU fan and could care less. Hes here for a paycheck. His heart is in Atlanta.

It's amazing how many people think they're relevant.

More like to arrogant 

You know, I'm starting to get that vibe. We forget Woodson had a great supporting cast and his senior year we had Isaiah.  

I'm gonna watch The Replacements now. Shane Falco and Jimmy McGinty wins with scrubs. 

Hire Fred Hoiberg!

There has been an ongoing argument about the toilet seat being left up since 1596.

Yet 99.7% of the MEN'S bathrooms in gas stations that I go into.......... the seat is down. I simply don't get it. AND when was the last time a guy screamed about getting soggy buns? I mean, like NEVER ! Ammiright?

I put the lid down with the seat. I think the whole thing is borne out of laziness/entitlement.  

As a matter of fact I put the lid down to protect my toothbrush.   The average flush can send poo water up to 12ft in the air.

Hey folks, I'm trying to replace some parts in my toilet tank, but one of the bolts holding it to the bowl is rusted tight to the nut. Tried a penetrating oil, tried some 8" built cutters, neither have been up to the task. Any suggestions on a tool to cut through it?

If you have the tools and can get to it try drilling it out through the head. May take a few tries to find the right size bit. 

My wife and I went down to Shawnee National Forrest in Illnois in 2017
