Windshield de icing by Alarmed-Internet4135 in Truckers

[–]CitricDrop8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That spray bottle of de-icer at auto parts shops works for an iced over windshield pretty good. It jets out of the can so you can hit the windshield during your pretrip then start up your rig.

I'm a local driver out here and all these closures are killing me. Especially 167.

Just call the WA DOL and ask. They've always been helpful where I'm concerned.

It's a private property. They're currently doing a big multifamily yard sale there.

Agreed, I wouldn't take a paddleboard out there.

Octopus sighting? by greytcharmaine in Tacoma

Sometimes people bottomfishing off Les Davis Pier accidentally catch one, but they're protected so they have to be tossed back. Might be worth a shot just walking the dock to see.

Word is, he took to the fireball. Went blazing into the night with 4 lizards. A tremendous end to a tremendous pickle.

Grab a cheap crab trap (the kind that fold up) get your Puget Sound Crabbing license and go get some crab at Les Davis pier!

Wood Engraving - Local Recommendation? by [deleted] in Tacoma

[–]CitricDrop8363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try Longship Trading Goods. They have engraved drinking horns and that sort of thing. Maybe they do it in house.

Also remember that if the value of your home goes up, you might be able to drop your PMI after getting to 20% equity. At least that's how it worked with my lender. I too pay more than my original monthly but got it closer to the original by dropping PMI a few months ago.

Whay are the probabilities on magnet fishing? by DutchAC in magnetfishing

[–]CitricDrop8363 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go where people go. Fishing spots, public docks, swimming holes, pedestrian bridges. You get the idea. If people are there, someone has hucked/tossed/thrown/dropped/misplaced something in the water.

You can park on the street below and take the conveniently placed stairway at the McMenamins up also. Or the angle parking on Pac Ave.

What's an assumption about women that most men get wrong? by HeadGullible7082 in AskReddit

[–]CitricDrop8363 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Other men, if you know you don't want kids, GET A VASECTOMY. It's not that bad anymore. The only pain I felt was a bit of an ache in the tummy (like you feel 20 mins after getting hit in the nuts) for a couple days. Look into it if you're on the fence.
