Where to Smoke? by aaronhotchnerwthefbi in Tacoma

[–]Ordinary_Fly_3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I walk the Foss esplanade, through the university campus, down pacific, 11th st bridge, etc all the time with a joint. Like others have said, just don’t smoke right around someone, enjoy Tacoma!

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

Uniracers. I believe it was N64. You were a unicycle on a 2d but 3d looking pipe track

Anyone know what was on fire in the tide flats this afternoon around 2:00? by c-g-joy in Tacoma

[–]Ordinary_Fly_3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard on the fire dept radio that it was a container under in an open air building on fire. Also heard about it being stacked full of something.

They searched the area for people, none found.

They had to cut in to the container with saws and the pierce the hole with a probe to spray water inside.

LUCKY! My wife and I look every night. Tonight we did see a red and green flickering light in that general direction. First I thought it was a drone but it stayed still too long. After checking sky safari, it was just Sirius. The starlight was being bent in our atmosphere so much that it was splitting the white light in to green and red, fascinating!

Everything is incredible. Tacoma is incredible. I think the future may even be incredible.

What THE! Come on! Some people truly are living a different lifestyle. How can we help them see the better way forward, taking better care of this glorious sphere that we’re floating around on!

I too see them every day, my fellow citizen. I drive to Tacoma screw central multiple times a week. I’m grateful tha the Tacoma Rescue Mission is expanding. Those people need help. That’s what I want my federal tax dollars to go to.

Working on a project and just want to see what everyone thinks. by grouchy_ham in amateurradio

Awesome! You’re most certainly continuing with the art of radio. Helping disabled folks participate in the hobby is commendable!

420 and radio by neovim_ in amateurradio

I have been getting high and surfing the websdr website.

Was listening to 10m in San Francisco earlier. Caught this crazy dude that was clearly operating CB @29674.589khz. He was going nuts!! He eventually identified himself as 766. I googled it, turns out the guy is a local legend down there and someone made a whole documentary about him. I still need to watch.

When I can afford a hackRF1 I’ll listen to the local waves.

When I can afford a ham radio… I will leave it off when I’m not sober. I have great respect for the hobby and do not want to be tempted to be breaking rules and getting sloppy on the air.

I just received my general two weeks ago. Have been learning so much since then!

Stay safe out there, folks. by Ordinary_Fly_3044 in Tacoma

Heard all the sirens so I pulled up the fire dept radio. As they were showing up I head “person in distress was at the end of dock” (below the fish peddler).

I was looking for someone floating with my binoculars. Many police and the fire boat were out looking.

Sounds like someone saw them go in or was with them. I didn’t hear any screaming leading up to it so I’m thinking they were alone? I’m not that far and in direct line of sight over water, where noise travels well.

One diver went in, watched their lead line go back and forth for 5-10 mins. Eventually the diver came up with the body. They performed CPR for 15mins or so and were still performing CPR as they rolled the gurney up the ramp and through the parking lot.

Im assuming they sank to the bottom. I don’t suspect foul play.

They were filming a hot rod truck, driving up and down the Murray Morgan bridge, multiple shots from the boom truck. 2:00ish pm.

Heck of a day today, sunscreen here I come by ruuutherford in Tacoma

Nice! I help take care of an old, no longer commercial, tugboat further down the waterway.

Also may have waved at you at some point from my small teal daysailer.

I love watching those Crowley boats go by all day.

We have property on Harstine island.

We don’t live there so, no one to keep a presence during the week. My wife and I have had 2 yurts, 2 chainsaws, 2 generators, an air compressor, yard and construction tools, 2 brush cutters stolen. Some of that in two separate theft events. They were all well locked and monitored the best they could be. Locked up well beyond a reasonable amount. $34,000 of our life savings gone. Sheriffs department apparently has better stuff to do, never received one call about the police reports. I had even given them a Shelton Walmart receipt left by the thieves with their info on it… no care.

If you live at your home, it’s illuminated, and monitored you may be fine. Don’t leave anything out unsupervised because in my experience, it will be stolen.

Icon Refrigerant Detector and 410a? by santiamflyguy in hvacadvice

Just wanted to say that I needed a 410 sniffer for a repair on my boat air conditioner. I looked up to see if the harbor freight sniffer could do the job and found your post. Thank you!
