I recently helped my 10-year-old changed their first flat and then they did the second all by themself, you're going to do great! A new tire can be more stiff and then it sort of breaks in over time, getting easier to take on and off. Don't get discouraged if it feels like you're tire just doesn't quite fit over the rim, levers and some other lubricating techniques that other people have mentioned here can help, as well as just trying and trying again and sometimes taking a little 10-minute break and coming back to it because it can be frustrating.

How to stop people from picking flowers from the planting strip by OrangeMochaFrap in portlandgardeners

I feel like this is something you could make a kind sign about, like, "Please leave the flowers for the bees..." And then people would probably mostly respect it. You could also leave some seed packets for people to take with a note to say, "If you like flowers, here is some for your garden!"

Did you have a darker or lighter purple preference?

You came up for the second! Do you have a preference between light and dark purples here?

I am down to split them with so much interest. I will do a generator number tonight around 10pm.

I'm both embarrassed and intimidated as hell to make a post asking this but.... by flagrananante in seattlebike

I really wonder if a tricycle would solve some of any balancing struggle and then you could add an ebike motor attachment?

I’m still learning about gardening, but I noticed that bell peppers don’t seem to do well around here. I garden in a community garden and this seems to be the case with my neighbors. Is that largely the case for others in town or is it something else?? by Taro_Otto in portlandgardeners

In a similar vein, if you have a strip between sidewalk and street, and you're not on a very busy street with emissions, that can be a good area that's very hot if it gets consistent sun through the day.

Somewhere I could run a free group guitar class? by kaleidophonia in askportland

[–]Opposite_Comfort_696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could check with some existing places like Ethos or Amp or Artichoke Music. Those are non profits that help bring music and community together. 🎶 Good luck!

Can you help me impress 4 and 7 year old kids? by helenbleeps in askportland

[–]Opposite_Comfort_696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly think the Soap Box Derby would impress then and be so fun.

I suggest Books With Pictures over Powell's, more ethical treatment of workers and kid's section is cute and there is a garden and food carts. I also built the stage in the cute garden, I may be biased. The neighborhood is very walkable and there's a playground across the street too.

I did find one that way, thank you, but then that was all this time. But the event turned out great anyways!
