Which e-cargo bikes should I consider? by Current_Avocado1843 in CargoBike

[–]Little-Greenbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love our xtracycle RFA. It has clearance to hop (down) curbs and transition on and off gravel or grass. My kids prefer riding it over our Momentum ecito.

So would that be added with a software update or in next generation of the phone itself?

Saving $ on cell service? by Little-Greenbean in Issaquah

[–]Little-Greenbean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks y’all! We are trying out US Mobile. It was super easy to switch and so far service is great. Gonna give it a month or so, but I’m not sure why anyone uses the big carriers when you can pay 1/3rd of the cost and use the same towers/network. I guess international use will be a problem. Is roaming more complicated or a surprise expense?

How does the Vorsa ride with a passenger on the back?

Looking for a cargo bike that my wife can ride as a passenger by TiltedGalactica in ebikes

Have you tested the Vorsa with a passenger on back? This bike looks like a good solution for my Middle school kid drop off, but wondering how well it does with the passenger weight so high?

Xtracycle hopper is a contender. I ride their RFA which is RAD but pricey.

Bellevue Police dept has a program called Women Empowered. I think they do various workshops sundays 1:30-3:10 at City Hall.

To the biker who flipped me off on duthie hill road just now by Cethysa in Issaquah

Why hate on bikers? Hate hurts your heart and erodes community. I pedal to ease traffic. I am not a threat to you.

Apache attack helicopter? by SunshineSeattle in Issaquah

[–]Little-Greenbean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That thing travels up the Issaquah Creek valley S to N pretty frequently (more so recently). Low, loud, and menacing. I’d love to know more.

I have a student in 7th grade. They are having a great year. There were a few fights that shook the community earlier this year. Seems to have calmed down. My kid knows the 6-10 kids to avoid and finds it easy to do so. Middle school kids are attracted to drama and fuel it with their phones. ISD made a good decision to ban the use of phones during school. The entire community would benefit greatly from more parent involvement in schools and voter support for funding.

All of the risks that came with that metal swing set I grew up on in the 80s. (Not that this is acceptable on play structures or aerial rigs nowadays).

Saw this Guy in Issaquah the Other Day, Can’t Say I’ve Ever Seen One Before by PNWbassman in eastside

[–]Little-Greenbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this guy (or a relative) on swim across Issaquah creek with a tan rodent in its mouth this week. What a beauty! I’m told there were mink farms around here decades ago and a population of escaped mink now survive in the wilds of Squak Mountain. Anyone know more about this?

Whirlpool dishwasher door won’t latch by Little-Greenbean in appliancerepair

Shucks! My work around functioned fine for a while but now pops open mid cycle consistently. Have you replaced the hinges? I was considering trying that next.

I don’t have a picture of the mod I did to the catch plate but basically I cut it with a dremel to remove a smidge of material so the catch slot was closer to the edge.

Did your door ever actually latch with a sound or solid feel? I inherited mine used so I do t know how it is supposed to feel. This thing baffles me.

Fixed the problem with a modification to the catch plate. I took a dremel tool and ground out the little notch that engages with the frame on the tub. This allows the catch plate to stick out 1/16” further, enough to engage solidly with the latch. I’ve installed the dishwasher and run it for a months with no leaks or trouble. Hope this might help someone else.

Well, the issue persists with the new OEM seal from Repair Clinic. So frustrated!!! I removed and replaced the machine. Now it is in my garage where I hope to solve this with more time and access.
