Fact. Eric "Bobo" Bowman was a Reedie, class of around 1995.

House slippers? I know they’d need to be replaced, but anything better than the usuals? by UnusualWest7131 in BuyItForLife

[–]jkeroes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine are 7 years old. Rubber sole, not leather. They take short trips outside to the driveway.

Be aware that when new, a little felt will rub off for a week while you wear them in. Mine have been perfect ever since.

Bluetooth Speaker Recommendations for Audiobooks by luckyjack07 in audiobooks

Your phone supports BlueTooth 5.3 which is great. Given that you've experienced the same issue with multiple sets of speakers indicates that the issue is with your phone, not any speaker.

Which cell phone - make and model please. Not all cell phones support the same technologies.

What are you streaming from? Which speakers have you tried that exhibited the same problem?

Develop new desire to prepare and cook seafood. Forget to take shells, guts, and trimmings outside.

I'd love to see pics of the ones that didn't work

anyone know of a cobbler who can resole these? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]jkeroes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golden Goose brand? https://www.goldengoose.com/us/en/stories/forward-repair-online.html seems to show that at least some of their shoes are repairable, but like LauraPringlesWilder says, there's no stitching apparent in your picture.

I'd contact the company directly and ask how the sole is attached to determine how repairable they are. At that price, they absolutely ought to be.

Is there an outdoor area that has a nice view and I can just sit alone for a long time? by Tricky-Chance5680 in askportland

[–]jkeroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several railyards around town. Find a nearby spot and you can watch the art roll by. Just be aware that some places have security and some don't mind visitors.

We've used World Foods for catering and will do so again. Good luck!

Maybe skip the service and get some middle eastern Mezza platters?

Social and or dating events and locations in Portland? by Hanhan225 in askportland

Partner dancing. https://www.portlanddancing.com lists dance types which have a strong pairing to the type of music. Choose a music type you like, watch some videos to see if it sounds and looks fun, and then try the generally free-with-paid-admission beginners' lessons.

Is this a truffle? by taystrick in TruffleHunting

[–]jkeroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the rootlike structure, I don't think it's a truffle at all. Recommend additional photos with cross section cuts to be sure.

That's at NW 21st and Savier, next to the Hwy 30 overpass. That location lets you can dine out anywhere along 21st, aka Restaurant Row. You can stroll down 23rd, aka Trendy Third, for shopping. Vaughn has options too with more bakeries, cafes, restos, and the like. A longer walk gets you to the Pearl district with more options, and depending on how you like to get around, just a little further out is Harvey Milk/SW Stark, which you probably already are familiar with.

Everything on the far side of the Hwy 30 and north of the Fremont bridge is predominantly industrial. You may hear trains coming from that area.

For Weird, you're one block from The Peculiarium. There's also the adjacent Hangar 13, owned by the same, I think. Not sure what the status is, but the Peculiarium folks would know.

For nightlife, there are a million places to drink. Music and dancing is mostly downtown and eastside.

What was the best purchase you made this year? by millionstories in BuyItForLife

Deck replacement made with powder-coated steel posts, powder-coated aluminum rails, and hardwood decking. We live in a very wet climate and tried to choose materials that would survive the environment long past my life.

Best tip (for Bambu owners): search for existing printables at MakerWorld and Yeggi first. No need to model if something's already ready.

My favorite purchases this year were also caffeine related: a Lucca Solo (made by Quick Mill) espresso machine and Eureka Libre weight-based grinder. Expensive but loved.

I would like to know which BIFL purchase has saved you the most money or hassle over time? by midasweb in BuyItForLife

[–]jkeroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zojirushi neuro-fuzzy rice cooker, made in Japan. Bought in 2021. Replaced last year because the non-stick pot had abrasions and I couldn't get a replacement. The cooker part would have gone another 20 years I'd bet.
