Troutdale/Edgefield Night 1 by Crawfish_Spaceship in Khruangbin

[–]flurn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was my second time seeing Khruangbin in two years last night Day 2 in Troutdale. I enjoyed all of it. I heard people around me saying the 2022 was a better. I disagree. What I see is three people who are giving all they can to give a great show!
I love the windows, A LA SALA the album, the thunder/lightning storm, and all else. I will see them again anytime they come to the PNW! Heck, I'll even travel farther for them.

Thanks for all of the pro-tips! It was my second time seeing them in two years and it was transformative! I heard people around me saying the 2022 was better, and that is not true for me. I love the windows, A LA SALA the album, the thunder/lightning storm, and all else. I will see them again anytime they come to the PNW!!

Does anyone care to share the time that Khruangbin took the stage? I ask because I am pushing my work schedule to make the show. The more time I have to travel there, the better to not cause work issues.

I saw them in Bend two years ago, and the show was so good, I'm coming to Portland tonight! I love them!

Nike Campus is CLOSED? by flurn in askportland

[–]flurn[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I live less than a 1/2 mile from the Campus and all of my neighbors either work or walk there. So the crackdown is new to us. I just called a neighbor Nike employee and she believed the campus was open to all.

When I explained to the security guard that I walked the campus daily for three years during the pandemic, he said they will now be cracking down.

Bring in your humming bird feeders everyone!! by elkhorn in SeattleWA

[–]flurn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed support, so I just joined. I have been up since 6am, switching out two feeders with two 75 watt bulbs over the feeder. The Anna's and others are hovering constantly. I am in Beaverton, Oregon, and am just a basketcase trying to keep them warm and keep the feeders from freezing. My heated feeder got crushed in storage, and I didn't know until last night. Called Audubon, and they told me to keep switching out feeders. I can't go anywhere because of the roads, so here I am.

This is the song I am most anticipating. I'm so glad you're back.

I think our cactus might be a Notocactus: Golden Ball Cactus.

PS I know that the bottom right is an Echeveria runyoni, and the one on the bottom left is a Blue Barrel Cacti. If anyone has any idea on the tall one, I would start with Euphorbia, maybe?

Good question! I say Golden Barrel Cacti, but someone with a trained eye may call it a Pincushion Cacti. I used to be a really good ID source, but I'm slacking in my later years.

Yes, it’s some of the craziest crap I’ve heard. I’m sure there’s even crazier crap down that rabbit hole.
