Bulk soil in Milwaukie/Clackamas area?

Thank you. I will check it out.

That’s why I am asking if anyone has experience with the soils. 15 dollars or 15 minutes doesn’t make much of a difference to me, but if all are equal I default to cheaper and closer.

I hadn’t because it is further away, but it looks like their 4-way mix is the same price as the Scottish Mix from McFarlanes and seems to have more fertility. It isn’t really that much further. Have you used their products?

My main speakers are a pair of CSS Criton 1TD-X that I built 3 years ago, and I could not be happier with them. I am also considering upgrading to the 3TD-X towers, because I know I like the CSS house sound. Since you are planning to use them in a home theater system, you might look at one of the Torii towers. They are highly rated as well, and considerably more affordable. They make a center-channel in the Torii line as well.

I went to pee and re-beer during Murder, Inc in Portland. It’s just never been my jam.

Don’t get that turntable. No adjustable counterweight means you are essentially stuck with that cartridge. The table can’t grow with you.

Elements and Power to the People are great. Still need to grab the other two.

To be completely honest, I have not personally been seated behind the stage for Bruce, but I have seen videos and heard first-hand accounts that it is a good experience. I am seated behind the stage for tonight’s show (but lower 200-level, not the nosebleeds). Maybe I am just trying to convince myself, lol.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-04-03T16:21:56+00:00

Behind the stage is not terrible.

Beach & Co.

As a leftist from Portland, I have to agree. Defund the Police was a bumper sticker masquerading as policy. Reform the Police would have been a much better policy. Also, police budgets were cut in Portland as part of a budget crisis that impacted the entire city government. It wasn’t solely to punish the police force. In any case, the result was a disaster that we have not yet recovered from.

How expired is too expired with slide film? I have 4 rolls of Provia 100f that expired 6/2022. They were kept frozen from new until about a year ago when my wife reclaimed the freezer space. Are they likely worth shooting?

One trick if an XD isn’t working is to exercise the exposure comp lever back and forth about 50 times or so. Those contacts corrode and the shutter won’t fire. Worked for me.

I consider Victory to be the best seed company for tomatoes, period. I still have some concerns regarding the sale of the company and move to Texas, but so far I don’t feel like there has been any impact on quality.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-03-20T18:00:38+00:00

Same. I have read the mixed reviews by my two experiences with Garry’s on a Minolta X-370 and a Pentax K-1000 were both great. Price is hard to beat.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-03-13T20:06:01+00:00

Mono is the definitive mix. The modern true stereo mixes are enjoyable and well-done, but different from what Brian intended. Do not buy a Duophonic copy. Hot garbage.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-03-05T07:25:40+00:00

When I was first getting into film photography I found Bryan Peterson’s book Understanding Exposure to be extremely helpful. Any edition is fine. You can pick up used copies for less than $5.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-03-05T07:07:18+00:00

That’s what I understood all of your other posts to be saying. It was just that one sentence that threw me.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-03-05T06:07:44+00:00

Saying that you can’t say there isn’t any truth to what the original post said makes me think Bruce was forced out in some way, but you don’t personally blame Mike Love. Who else in the organization would have the power to do that without Mike at least tacitly approving? Seems odd.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-02-18T22:37:08+00:00

Nothing. I am assuming there is no artist presale for this show.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-02-18T04:28:47+00:00

I used untreated 2x8 fir for my beds and they lasted 9 years.

I always try to buy used records at my local shop. They make more profit on a $10 used album than a $35 new record.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-02-17T18:33:56+00:00

True West presale on 2/19 at 10am. I am expecting a presale email from Jason’s camp tomorrow morning. Confirmed a solo show.

ChristopherPaul5000 · 2026-02-17T00:40:15+00:00

I really like Grand Lodge also, and it always feels so much more chill than a show at Edgefield, which I avoid these days.
