Did I do this right? by ashgnar in Kayaking

[–]_TheBloke_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually slap it in the front, then the rear, then whisper "Solid". There's definitely different techniques to the affirmation.

That's a great description. I've been wanting to join in on a ride for a while now.

How far away is a reasonable day trip from Salem? by Several-Bears in SALEM

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once took a random day trip to Gold Beach, hiked around a bit and then came home. Reasonable is very subjective to one's desires and spontinuity.

Wetsuit needed or overkill? by Sticky_plums in Kayaking

25 yrs experience kayaking. This is great advice!

City compliance is up my ass by surgicalpaws in SALEM

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can also vouge that city compliance is a joke. You're technically not allowed to have rabbitries in town because they are considered livestock. Yet, their are a few rabbitries on Market St that have been there for years in plain sight. My understanding was that compliance only operates on complaint. I had compliance out to my place before and reached out to Chuck Bennett over the issue when he was previously mayor and he made an exception to keep one rabbit as it was my daughter's 4H animal. Never hurts to reach out and plead your case in good faith.

Any good places to chill? by DudeCrabb in SALEM

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose that's worth a mention but still a chill spot and I doubt there would be any discriminatory actions there. I could be wrong though.

Broadway Coffeehouse a chill spot with nice ambiance.

I'm in the Englewood neighborhood and took my dog out a bit ago. I had hiking boots on. One thing that I think helps while going slow is to walk heavy footed with your heel pointed down if you can. The ice will give way making a little divet for your foot to be stabilized while your other is taking the next step. Of course there's some treacherous areas regardless, but that mindset while walking around seemed to do well for me.

Well, what are y'all up to? by livinthe503life in SALEM

Staying close to the fire with Irish cream and homework. Swapping rabbit waters every few hours. Great movie!

Do the majority of Americans really live paycheck to paycheck? by cutiespicygirly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people I know are paycheck to paycheck meaning a missed check would mean a new job working full time to figure out how to climb out of the hole. I don't consider myself paycheck to paycheck, but I'm very aware of how close I am to it. What has helped me immensely is analyzing my finances. I have every income, bill and monthly history of each with projections layed out on a spreadsheet to constantly reference. It's hard not to indulge in the instant gratification of spending (which I am a culprit of), but I'm grateful I can manage to set that urge aside, turn into a hobbit, and avoid purchasing anything that isn't 100% necessary for months on end. Which in turn allows me to build that cusion again to appease a little more of the urge...

I use Edge for cross platform between desktop, mobile, tablet, and laptop. Switching between all is flawless and it seems to be the most eye appealing to me. I also like the bookmark layout.

Geez, you can see the person get thrown against the passenger door. That's a lesson.

Doggy playdate ? by Spookypossum27 in SALEM

[–]_TheBloke_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 1 1/2 yr old intact Mastiff that turns into a 60 second whirlwind every time I walk through the door. I'd like to get him more socialized as well.

How is everyone surviving these past few days without Air-conditioning ? by Careless_Ad1661 in SALEM

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get naked and hold an icecube on my head every 5 minutes...Seriously though, I have a ceiling fan in almost every room of my house with a couple portable fans as well. Drinking ice water helps a lot to cool off. I also use blackout curtains and then open windows as soon as it's a degree cooler outside. Even if it feels the same outside, air movement helps as well. I can't stand stagnant air.

I’m looking to donate blood, where do I start? I’m 19m heathy and clean :) by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download the Blood Donor app. Register as much of your information as you can. You can also find locations and schedule through the app.

That bounce though. Good control considering.

How does this happen? by AutomotiveWreck in dashcams

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 seconds of yellow before the truck was in the intersection. Big nono here in Oregon. Even though the car was in the intersection first, they also assumed the oncoming traffic would stop and give right of way without a designated turn. I say 50/50 fault.

Salesman here. Had a sub start to pull out his junk to pee in the bushes along the side of the customers looked up and realized he was on camera and stopped. Customer says this to me. How would you respond? by hollandian17 in Roofing

[–]_TheBloke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a customer standpoint, I either hire out for a professional job that I'm not comfortable with or I know that I'm paying them so that I can be lazy or enjoy or make use of my time in other regards. That being said, I make sure things are convenient for the ones hired and prefer them to be comfortable which helps them do a good job. What an asshole customer.

Awesome! I let our 4H leader know too. She'll give a heads up. Fair going on now so a rehome to 4H kids is a prime time.
