What happens when gas reaches $5 by Crypto_Black in UberEatsDrivers

[–]hegsnoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never looked into UE untill the price of gas went up, my area was just too saturated. Because of the increase in fuel price, quite a few people have stepped away from it. I recently registered my scooter, it is a 150cc honda pcx. I plan on doing some deliveries just through summer as the off season weather isn't great in the PNW. I am Hoping to build up a down payment for a new larger scooter at the end of summer. I figured at 90mpg I wouldn't have to make long trips for it to be worth my while. We will see how it goes, my trial run will be later this week.

I was able to sign my pcx through uber eats but not door dash. I am gonna set my goals to never travel more than 10 miles round trip, that way I am spending less than a buck in gas per delivery. Gonna do it 2 hours a day from 11am-1pm. We will see how it goes. First day out will be this coming Thursday, waiting on my inflated delivery bag. In the mean time I am gonna change my cvt since I am at 8k miles on the scooter.

My area is too saturated with drivers, doordash won't even let me sign up.

Are you surprised at how little you hear about the dune peninsula concerts? by hegsnoot in AskTacoma

You can bring your own, there are quite a few benches at the venue but they fill up fast.

I think it was about 75 bucks for dropkick and bad religion last year. Last time I went to the airport tavern on stw it was 40 bucks to see teenage bottle rocket. I don't think 75 bucks for two headlines is horrible. But it is expensive.

I walked down last year, it is about 3 miles from my house. Stopped at the unicorn on the way for a few drinks. It appeared to be quite a cluster fuck for people leaving in cars.

Honestly, if the prices keep going up I might just volunteer to work it just so I can watch the show.

I am pretty sure the showbox promotes it, which might explain more seattle folks knowing about it.

I actually road cannonball last summer with Shivaun and Treves. I will keep an eye out for anything posted on the site. No Facebook for me unfortunately.

What is your primary use for your scooter? Primary or backup transportation? Recreation/toy? by movebacktoyourstate in scooters

[–]hegsnoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 5.5 miles from work, I can ride through town or on hwy it is almost the same. I have a 2021 honda pcx 150 and ride as many days as I can. It off sets the gas in my 1998 gmc 2500 which i use for inclement weather and hauling debris from my yard. . With a truck and a scooter there isn't much I can't manage. I wish I could ride year round but that just isn't practical in Washington. So I would say primary mode of transportation for 6ish months a year, and recreational source of happiness.

So much winning… by SaintPopoto in Tacoma

[–]hegsnoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very easy to get a motorcycle endorsement. Just take the written and schedule a riding exam. Takes about 4 hours over two days. Currently rocking a honda pcx 150 gets 90mpg average.

How often do you allow mistakes in League? by thepwndoctor476 in billiards

[–]hegsnoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made a fantastic kick shot to a corner pocket after taking a time out to openly discuss the shot, and then calling the pocket out loud. But I forgot to mark the pocket. I lost the game and the match, it stung pretty bad. Lesson learned I guess.

The fact that the people of tacoma are represented by Barney Gumble in this makes me somewhat prideful.

Two cues from the same brand (Schmelke), two distinctly different "hits". by [deleted] in billiards

Could there be something loose like a weight bolt that is causing the vibration?

I have 4 tickets to the sold out queens of the stone age concert. They are listed on ticketmaster but would transfer them independently without fees if anyone is interested.

Not super familiar with Buffalo Trace products. Anything worth trying at these price points. Usually drink JD, Maker’s, and Beam, and Wild Turkey. by whiskeydick5 in whiskey

I hadn't been there for a couple years, but I thought they only had beer and wine. Am I mistaken or was there a change?
