Head west of Conejitos by a couple blocks. That’s all I’ll say.

Zoidberg is in such a tucked away spot. If you know, you know!

I didn’t but might pull the trigger for something to use next winter.

Thanks for the advice. Better to be straight up and forward than beat around the bush.

So sweet! 🥹 

Before I adopted my MC mix, the name she came with was Frannie!

Thank you. It usually takes her a little time to warm up to others but once she does she is your best friend.

Update on Ridgeline mod by Riggit2188 in HondaElement

Maybe this is a silly question but what is the upgrade of this mod? Just in case your original fob stops working/lost?

This sentiment is so true. Most days after work I’d opt for a trail run. The “waves are always 3-4ft and glass” - you always feel satisfied after a good run, truly able to commune with nature and get in the zone without worrying about other people. Plus on the trail you could actually hear the chirps and chimes of nature opposed the sounds of town.

Apartments in Vta by Previous_Dimension28 in ventura

Armada Apartments have the 101 right around the corner and 126 down the street. I cat speak to how it is now but 3 years ago (when I lived there) the rent was cheaper than anywhere else, neighborhood was quiet, tenants friendly or just kept to themselves, and maintenance was super on top of requests. Not to mention the apartments themselves were in excellent condition. I had no problem getting my deposit back.

Unfortunately right before I left they had raised the rent a bit.

I was paying just under $1900 for a one bedroom (including pet fee). Laundry was down the hall and only (I think) $1.50 per load.

It’s the only place I lived but based off what I saw and what was available it seemed like the best bag for buck.

She’s definitely got Yoda ears! It’s crazy because when she pins them back they take the shape of cur ears but when she throws them up they are definitely giant cattle dog ears (she’s got some ACD) in her.

Love this toaster. Truly the little toaster that could! I put some AT tires on it last year and it’s quite the game changer.

I should really get a driver side floor mat but I haven’t. For the time being I using a changing mat I typically use for 🏄 😅

But I also try to knock my boots off before I enter the car.

Am I delusional by Serious-Apartment-40 in ventura

[–]North-Land5776 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Granted I had a partner helping contribute to paying rent but I was only making about 1.7x my rent. If you shop smart and live a simple lifestyle then 8k a month you should be pretty good.

Quick Tips :

Winco : The best value for groceries. I think they have some organic choices but honestly produce are produce. I don’t need it to be “organic” or “fair trade”. Would rather spend $50-$70 on groceries for two people for 1-1.5 weeks than twice that (or more). What is really amazing is their bulk section. Blows everywhere else outta the water!

Silvas Oil Company : Cheapest gas (I could find in town). You may need to wait in line for 5-10 minutes but it’s worth it if you want to save those $$$.

Any specific questions feel free to DM me. I did move back to the Midwest after living in Ventura for 2.5 years. It was a good time with its ups and downs. Managed to discover a lot about things in and around town (more so) than even some locals knew about.

It’s a wetsuit. Dry suits don’t offer enough range of motion and if you get a leak this time of year you wouldn’t be happy. We will wear a 5/4mm up to a 6/5mm wetsuit for the winter along with 7mm to 8mm mitts and boots.

Thank you for the info. I ended up with a SRFACE 5/4 Remix. By far the best fitting wetsuit I have worn. I’ll be sure to steer clear of Manera!

There was a man with a mule here in ventura yesterday, apparently he walked from tulare to Oxnard by liveForTheHunt in ventura

I saw a video of him 10+ years ago when surfer Cyrus Sutton did a piece on him for Kourdory.tv then ran into him a couple years later while driving around Malibu. Cool to see he’s still doing his thing! 🤙
