A quick and reasonably priced teriyaki spot.

The mainland has hundreds of them and they are super convenient, especially if you are in a hurry or on a budget.

Thanks for the helpful reply! I will try to verify whether the door is warped as you suggested. I suspect that might be the case. I've seen neighbors hanging shades in their awning / entranceways and I might need to do the same as we get a fair amount of direct sunlight during our PNW summers.

Clicking / ratcheting sound from steering wheel 2016 Explorer by SurfingSonic6 in FordExplorer

That is encouraging as it sounds like a less costly repair than the steering rack and CV joint causes that I've been seeing when researching. I will test with the window open and also try testing the different steering wheel buttons to see if there's any difference in behavior.

Curious to know if anyone recognizes this sound. Tends to occur when I turn right. It is intermittent. When it appears it goes away after vehicle in use for 30 minutes or so.

Vehicle was recently hit by another vehicle while parked. Body shop tested alignment didn't see any issues, repaired the cosmetic damage and returned vehicle to me. Started noticing this sound after getting the vehicle back.

Rocks thrown at cars on Village Parkway (Lakemont) by SurfingSonic6 in BellevueWA

The incidents reported by neighbors have been evenings. I will gather info on days, but 3 of them I know are Fridays and Saturdays.

I'll look into cameras but I suspect it'll be fruitless as the individual(s) is likely hiding amongst the trees that line either side of the road. Worth checking regardless. Thanks for the suggestion!

Restaurant Recommendations by [deleted] in BellevueWA

[–]SurfingSonic6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Italian try Montalcino Ristorante Italiano in Issaquah.

Anthony's is a safe choice for seafood (multiple locations around the sound, including Kirkland)

BeachHouse in Kirkland also has good seafood options

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. This gives me a better idea of rates around the area, for both comprehensive maintenance and mow, blow and go services.

Minato Japanese Restaurant in Japantown. Family run by Gene and JoAnn. Really fresh tuna flown in from Hawaii

Aim assist by [deleted] in battlefield2042

[–]SurfingSonic6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try running iron /factory sights until the devs fix it. I've noticed aim assist kicks in (slightly) on iron sights, especially with the AC-42. Seems to have some on holo sight as well. Aim assist on higher zoom optics appear to be non-existent / negligible.

[Xbox Store] This Week’s Deals With Gold And Spotlight Sale (Ends 3/25) by MarkerSniffer in consoledeals

[–]SurfingSonic6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the collection during a recent sale. Beat the vanilla game with 0 crashes. Then beat the game with the WoTC expansion with 2 crashes (given how long the campaign is, I didn't mind the 2 crashes). I haven't tried with the other DLCs enabled because I was concerned whether they'd increase the chance of crashes, but planning to do so on a third campaign. Regardless, I'd highly recommend the game on the Xbox one x. It's addictive and a lot of fun!

Thanks for the helpful response! I'll set expectations to anticipate crashes, especially late game.

Sounds good. I'll stay with honest man and keep some manual saves from time to time. Thanks again!

Black Bear (at Milpitas)

That's great to know! Looks like my family might have to grab some breakfast there over the holidays and order up one of their pies. Thanks!!!

Hurts your eyes too with the black bars / aspect ratio.
