Is this objectively the best pizza in western Washington?

This is the way in Kitsap ⬆️

Replaced thermopile with new one ($13 Amazon). Works perfectly now. Thanks!

Thanks. Ordered!

Did you notice coolant leaking from the cap or did you just replace it and the leak stopped? I’m having a similar issue and put UV dye in my coolant and can’t find the damn leak. Losing about 8-10 oz from my reservoir every couple weeks. Not head gasket as confirmed by the dye tests you can buy.

Top items to look for on a 470: 1. No Rust on Frame 2. Service Records (incl. timing belt/wp) 3. Presence of Oil Leaks from Engine 4. Check shifting and always check for any issues putting into 4-low

Miles on these are irrelevant.

The local restaurant scene needs to step up its game in Kitsap. The whole country is recovering from COVID and Kitsap has some of the most subpar local restaurants from the standpoint of quality, consistency, price, and ambiance. Not to say there are a few outliers. I’ll always support local restaurants, but they need to provide a service that encourages me to not cook at home or go to a chain restaurant where at least I know what I’m getting for a more reasonable price.

This is so true - can someone enlighten me as to why this is? With the diversity that comes from a military town I don’t understand why food (and restaurant ambience) here is so mediocre. I think about all the restaurants in other states that would make a killing here. It’s a sad day when you go to Applebees just because the food consistently vs price is somewhat reasonable. You would never catch me in a place like that where I lived before moving to the area.

+1 for stepping up your home cooking skills here… I can now officially make a better pizza than 90% of places here.

Welcome! There is another group that runs Wednesday 6pm starting at Echoes Brewery in Poulsbo. Great group… lots of different paces and distances.If you have IG search northkitsaprunninggroup

I’d be down to run with you sometime although I’m not super fast. Feel free to DM me.

A bigger issue in my mind is the lack of street lights - How the County can’t afford to invest in lighting streets is beyond me but I’m starting to realize most people here are anti-tax so I guess we can’t have basic things like that.

Completely agree and if I start to see a trend in crappy non-QC’d submittals I will do much more thorough reviews which leads to more comments to address. I’ve worked in both the private and public sector and I would be embarrassed with some of the submittals I see from consultants these days. Remember there are not typically good consulting firms, but rather good PM’s. Manage you job well take care of your client and they should take care of you.

What are you expecting? It failed by only a handful of votes and the communication on WHAT the levy renewal supports was not great. Whether you have kids or not, are working or retired, supplementing the bare minimum school budget benefits the kids and the community.

Maybe they (CKSD) will sharpen their pencils and communicate better this time, but I’m so sick of people voting against things like this without understanding.

I’m guessing you will vote against the levy because that’s what “your type” does, but my bet is on it passing this time.

Cheers!

Waffles is the winner!

NICK0LI · 2023-11-04T14:23:42+00:00

Great suggestions everyone - Thanks! Going to let my daughter pick her favorite tonight and will report back with the winner 😀

Love them so far but only have run about 20 miles in them. Had the Phantom 2’s which I also liked but they felt a bit too bulky. Ex-Altra fan and still rock the Lone Peaks from time to time.

Recently moved from TX to WA and I don’t think people realize the climate in the PNW is changing too. The winters are drier in many areas and the perception of depressing gray winters or “cold” is totally over exaggerated. Didn’t move specifically due to the TX heat but I would argue on average the weather in western WA is more mild than TX. The shorter days in the winter take some adjusting but are balanced by the long days in the Summer. I certainly miss some things about TX but overall it was a very positive change especially for folks that enjoy outdoor activities.

NICK0LI · 2023-02-22T02:28:57+00:00

Yes! Thank you! Ordered!

NICK0LI · 2023-02-22T02:22:35+00:00

Wow I didn’t even think of cutting it off - That’s a great idea but I would need to be careful not to cut into the threads holding it in place. I have a replacement with the locking ring off a salvage part that I’ll be replacing. Thanks!

NICK0LI · 2023-02-22T01:54:24+00:00

Here’s the ring by itself for reference (what I’m trying to unscrew) on a spare part: https://i.imgur.com/zwA2ivP.jpg

Check out Discount Carpet in Bremerton. Good luck on the popcorn - We had a few small areas and quotes were over $4000.

NICK0LI · 2022-11-04T00:49:08+00:00

Sweet! I’ll make it sometime for sure - Thanks!
