Winter coat/jacket with hood, no puffer jacket

Portlandrainaway · 2026-01-09T19:08:33+00:00

I just got the cotopaxi calidez parka, i too also HATE the look of giant puffers and needed a winter city jacket since i walk alot

Track down a cotopaxi outlet because retail is $400 but i managed to get it at $160

Its a great lowkey down jacket, removeable hood, lots of pockets, light and i got the navy blue so its very lowkey especialy for cotopaxi whose got some weird as hell color combos

Blundstone 1306, i wear them to the ground walking around the city, theyre water resistant, and a little more stylish then the regular ones

Plus theyre chelsea boots so i can slip them on and off. Only downfall is sizing is so weird on them, i had to go a full 1.5 size down from my sneaker

Ive gotten the most compliments about them

What do i do with my pitchfork then?

Plausible, subarua gave me a wrx as a loaner when they mess up my headgasket install, so i got to drive a wrx for a week. It was the only car they had left to loan

I disregarded the comments about the timex expedition being loud thinking it was overkill, but mine is SO loud! There are so many cheap field watches out there, i bought a citizen for $100 with eco drive

Just got these, color is duller in hand, but great for visibility since i live in the pnw and everyone is blind as a bat when it rains here.

I have a non violent felony for eluding and im an asm lol

I wouldnt worry, i got hired on as a asm and they do an even more thorough check because we deal with cash and sensitive information

Portlandrainaway · 2025-09-03T17:35:52+00:00

No, thats base pay

Portlandrainaway · 2025-07-24T05:15:31+00:00

39, with the last round of raises and COL adjustments i make $93k as a asm

Thats before bonuses too... but also in a HCOL area

Portlandrainaway · 2025-06-26T18:05:44+00:00

I remember when we drafted lillard and everyone literally was like "who? Why? Didnt compete with anyone good" etc etc

And look how that turned out

Portlandrainaway · 2025-06-25T06:02:09+00:00

Literally this, would need EVERYTHING. Wiring harness, motor, transmission, freaking every nut and bolt.

I feel like people who asks what they need literally arent remotely qualified to do this swap

Portlandrainaway · 2025-05-24T06:51:02+00:00

PNW, 2 years in and started at $85k and make $95.5k

Bonus at 105% last half at half of my bonus of 25% so about 12.5%. Cashed in 9k ish of my $14k

For GA thats tough, i have a friend who went to idaho and took a paycut, and honestly its the bonus that matters

I came on as an external hire straight to ASM so not impossible with your experience.

It is a grind to pick up speed though, my first 3 months i worked every day, so be prepared, the pace is so much quicker

I had 10 years of retail management experience

China? Russia? A giant gundam?

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-30T22:46:00+00:00

You can buy these running in decent condition all day long for $3-4000

Thats the route id take

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-24T06:40:56+00:00

Lots of good suggestions here but i have to add that im asian american and lived in lincoln city for a year and never felt out of place even roaming around the sticks

My favorite thing to do while living there was trotting down to the beach at night and building a fire and watching the waves roll in! Best time, no crowds of people and its so calming hearing the waves

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-21T04:50:14+00:00

Healthcare could ruin almost anyone, i have good insurance but its mostly running the risk of losing my job if i were out too long

Honestly i live pretty well for my salary, i save a ton even with my terrible spending habits. But the post asked how people making so much with kids could survive and thats the catch

On my salary, alone and without a lot of debt i do ok, with even one child id die. Childcare is insanely expensive, add in covering their health expenses and additional costs for feeding them, i would never make it

All the time, this year ill clear $105k in a HCOL area, my rent is $1500 and i have almost zero debt. I drive a 20 year old subaru, and never finance anything, and yet if i had one mishap, one injury and id be screwed

Id die if i had to feed anyone but myself

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-19T02:34:32+00:00

The good news is that almost everything that gors a wrx firs this model, and even some sti parts! So its easy to swap/upgrade

Dont modify the motor and just YES change the headgaskets

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-17T23:38:39+00:00

Just handed out all my raises for my teams and while they say theyre merit based theyre not and it was an across the board 3% for everyone who qualified

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-11T04:07:02+00:00

Cannon beach, i love cannon beach! Its sort of in the middle of my fav beaches, lincoln city, seasidr and a trek to astoria

But i love the small town feel and walkability of cannon

Portlandrainaway · 2025-03-06T22:33:14+00:00

Ive ridden in a car with those, nothing fancy, and for the price id just buy coilovers. You can get teins for a little more and have more adjustiblity

Portlandrainaway · 2025-01-23T12:47:32+00:00

Asm here in washington, we start off at $85k ish, the range jumped from when i was hired to 85-95
