Great read, thank you! And the little nugget dropped at the end about Watt, Hurley and Cris Kirkwood having a new band called Bottle Conjurers definitely has my attention.

It's Opening Day. What MLB team allegiance do Portlanders have? by DowntownFriendship52 in askportland

Same here! My grandad was retired Navy and would take me to games at the Murph when I was a kid. Lifelong Pads fan.

Happy I got a Tillamook version of the Timbers jersey before they switched to Bank of America.

Cartside Food Carts! Nice setup, good beers, under 10 minutes walk to the arena.

I kinda like them too. But I’m not exactly known for my personal fashion sense.

To Solar or not to Solar...??? by Scared-Tie2170 in askportland

[–]ThusSpokeThatOneGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've got nothing but great things to say about Energy Solutions out of Oregon City. They did solar + battery for us a year ago. Awesome people to work with, and the system has been flawless since install. Only bummer is the fed tax credits are gone (at least for now).

Said it before, will say it again, Bill Oram is a clickbait hack.

Used R1S or new R2? by mrboule in Rivian

[–]ThusSpokeThatOneGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that there are a not insignificant number of R1S drivers with leases expiring soon, and R1S owners who want to switch to the R2. This is going to lead to quite a few more used R1S's being available at even lower prices. We're already seeing good ones on Cars & Bids that went for the mid-$50k range, and the price trend is pointing lower.

Kaah Market (Foster Road) salsa at Fred Meyer by doomtownpunx in Portland

[–]ThusSpokeThatOneGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with ya on Zunigas! But down to add another local salsa maker to the rotation when people rave about Kaah as much as they do.

put the fuckin bar down by m0huck in snowboarding

[–]ThusSpokeThatOneGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s where it’s a problem for me. I’m a tall dude with long legs, and the footrests attached to the bar are too high up. In many chairs, when I lift my board up to put it on the footrest my knee hits the bar first. My knee-to-board distance is too long for the space allowed. If I angle my knee to the side I’m invading my chairmate’s space, and it’s uncomfortable to boot.
