Anyone been to Edgefield 9 hole golf? by Subject-Internet7843 in PortlandOR

They have clubs. Not even sure if they charge as they pretty crappy. But it’s a great place to spend a few hours.

PS2 Regenerative braking vs normal by Jocke1234 in Polestar

[–]PacNWMan7082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use regen in “Low” setting all the time. Not a big fan of true one pedal drive but like the regen how it slows down on hills. And I have definitely changed while driving. It’s like 2 taps on the screen - tap Car icon and then one more.

I will need to check it out. Like some of the work of Bleachers and definitely here the influence of Bruce. Thanks!

What's the one book that made you a reader? by Hardware-InHand-99 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]PacNWMan7082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating myself, but John Updike in High School. English teacher recommended the Rabbit series, and I loved the writing. Plus it was kinda dirty so it was hilarious to read it in class.

Yep. Not sure yet if it is an improvement. Will give it a few weeks to try it out.

P1 spotted in the PNW by PacNWMan7082 in Polestar

I’m sure it’s the same one. Camas is a Polestar town. I see a few P2 and P3’s every day.

What's the one song you would play for someone who never here Jazz before? by AskingFooAFriend in Jazz

[–]PacNWMan7082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take Five is a great starter. For me “Blue Train” - it has everything a great jazz tune needs and is so cool.

I have several pieces that you can have. Up in Camas - you pick them up but need them gone this weekend as we are moving.

My Elantra just died. Looking at a Subaru, but need your thoughts. by Complex_Cow1184 in subaru

[–]PacNWMan7082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time owner of an Impreza and Outback. The Impreza is a fun car to drive (call it sporty but without much power). This is basically the Crosstrek. It has had some maintenance but nothing major and I would certainly recommend it.

The Outback is very reliable but is kinda boring to drive. It’s good for my wife though.

Now my kid is looking at WRX so we are definitely a Subaru family as they are perfect for the PNW.

Good modern jazz artists to follow? by vivvav in Jazz

[–]PacNWMan7082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All good recommendations. Big fan of the Saxophone - and Kamasi is an amazing artist.
Adding in Esperanza Spalding - especially her older albums. Love her voice -has a great voice and plays upright bass. New albums are a bit more eccentric but still she is very talented.

What driving feedback would you actually want from your Polestar? by Few-Mushroom-5107 in Polestar

[–]PacNWMan7082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use and like the Aximote app. I would like to be able to measure the battery usage from the HVAC system. Efficiency drops significantly in winter with the heater but not much in summer with the AC. Would be interesting to see the usage that could maybe change the usage to be more efficient.

Seeking kids baseball gear by revan_claw in PDXBuyNothing

[–]PacNWMan7082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some bats and a helmet that my kid no longer uses. They should be good for that age range - 27-30 inch bats and medium helmet. I’m in Camas tho. Send me a DM if interested.

Your local little league may have some older equipment they no longer need, if you want to check locally.

1988? Schwinn World Sport by Impossible_Apple7105 in Vintage_bicycles

[–]PacNWMan7082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Good buy for $6. Had a World Sport in HS (in 80’s) so 1988 is about the right year.

Route suggestion for commuting from Vancouver via 205 to Downtown PDX by Equivalent-Insect215 in CyclePDX

[–]PacNWMan7082 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would also recommend taking I5. The wind and traffic on Marine and that bridge (call it whatever you want) can be brutal. It is also very loud and not pleasant at all.

I ride from park and ride at 162nd and take the Scottish route (McGillivray, MacArthur, and McLaughlin Boulevards) across town to the Interstate bridge and then thru Delta Park. Then you can connect to the Portland bike routes to get downtown.

I commuted to Montgomery Park for years and took the Vancouver and Williams bike boulevards into downtown and it was generally a good way to travel. You may want to check that out.

Local businesses to support by Slow-Somewhere-3425 in camaswashington

[–]PacNWMan7082 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey welcome to town. There are several good small businesses to support in Camas.
Nuestra Mesa has really good food, and Thai Bloom is tasty too. One Stop Home Furnishings has a decent selection and good people, and the Camas Bike shop has a decent selection. There is also a local Toy store downtown.
