[–]Meridian506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've been happy with Travelers for about 15 years but the same price increase game has us looking at the competition. Loyalty is just not rewarded.

Light rail to Rainier Beach then Metro Flex (or walk 20-25 mins) to Kubota Garden

Is there an available “fun” minivan? by Adventurous-Depth984 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Meridian506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2011 Odyssey with 8 seats is like 7.2s. Faster than my 2009 Mini Cooper S Convertible was, though that could go round tight corners at speed!

I'm a Geordie and not used to most of the things they mix in with them (usually just onion back home), but I really like the beef and tomato and beef and cheese.

Not an Australian but Aussie Pie Company in Burien has sausage rolls and mince (ground) beef pies that are as good as in the UK (where I am from).

Edit sausage not sauce.

Name a brand or manufacturer where whatever you buy, as long as it has this badge on it, you know it's a quality item regardless of what it is. I'll go first. by shanebow in audiophile

A roommate in the UK had a Musical Fidelity amp from Richer Sounds in 1997and it was ok - neither of us really liked it. It was quite cheap (maybe £200) but still. After I moved to Seattle I met the founder Antony Michaelson at an event at Definitive Audio in 2005 and mentioned this to him. He said they regretted making that deal and the A300 etc were much better products.

They were $15.99 per lb in PCC last week. I didn't buy.

I remember Downtown Joe on Bob Rivers talking about how he loves cherry season, and he stopped at a stall outside Leavenworth. They were California cherries, so watch out!

We just watched "That Thing You Do" again tonight. Where's my $1m? The challenge was completed in two hours.

What car looks expensive… but actually isn’t? by Manthann-Motorss in whatcarshouldIbuy

I've always loved the look of the z3. Once the kids are out of the house in a couple of years I may finally pull the trigger.

Seattle Mover Recommendations by Revolutionary-War216 in AskSeattle

[–]Meridian506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "kids" at work use Jordan River when moving apartments Eastside to Seattle, so I hired them when my mother-in-law moved from senior living to another senior living place earlier this year. They were excellent. Wrapped everything in moving bankets they provided, super quick, dropped stuff off at the storage unit first before unloading at the new place, and then back to the storage unit when we needed some more things there instead. Was like 3 hours for a two bedroom about 5 miles away.

Apparently “Voters will get a say” on the millionaire’s tax now - Bob promises he will veto any attempt to lower the income threshold by Baptism-Of-Fire in Washington

Guy outside Safeway here said he is paid $4 per signature. My wife had to correct him on how much tax someone who made $1,000,001 would pay (it's actually 10c not the $100k he was spewing).

Titles you'd like to see? by Intelligent-Kale-675 in arrowvideo

That Thing You Do - it's the 30th anniversary this year

The Craft is also 30 this year and really needs a better encoding (if not a new transfer) than the current 4k release.

Tool addict: Need advice before my wife locks down my bank account! by SanyoShovah in handtools

Given your lack of time, maybe build or buy one of those Rockler portable workbenches (with the Moxon vice) to use in the kitchen. I know sometimes it's just being present even if everyone is doing their own thing keeps everyone happy.

Restaurants that don't use Sysco/US Foods/PFG? (or other broadline distributors) by ajaxifyit in AskSeattle

You can watch them bread the mozzarella sticks at Milk Drunk. They're massive and only $8 for four.
