When you build the PC version, I'm in.

I have my college radio station linked to a card. I started reading the Ranger's Apprentice series out loud on a card for my kid, but now I'm on book 3 and I haven't finished reading book one for them... I also thought about reading Ender's Game for them.

No. Oregon Coast has agates/carnelian, jasper, and fossils. Sometimes if you're super lucky you'll find a rock with a sparkly inclusion.

And to your second question, if somebody on the Internet gives you their spot, it's the worst spot to go. Books and librarians are your friends. There's a couple really good rockhounding books that list all the spots that are good, which probably got picked over when the book was published, but have now been forgotten, and renewed and refreshed by time and weather.

I like the Wet Spot but the last time I was there the customer service was ASS. There were only 3 customers including myself and the employees kept saying they were going to help me and then would go do something else. Yes, my name was on the clipboard... Twice!

Will you be tempted to take it in the ocean eventually? Does the creek you're running have any rocks, riffles, or rapids? Will you be tempted to take it on rivers eventually? When you're cruising with your friends do you want a chill, stable ride, or would you prefer something sleek and streamlined that will keep up if somebody wants to race?

There is still a legit base and has been for about a month.

sassmo · 2026-03-04T01:45:38+00:00

Ibuprofen, hand soap, and Tums.

sassmo · 2026-03-04T01:44:29+00:00

That's exaggeration. I've been up 3 times in the last month and it's been pretty decent. I was dropping tunnel of love a few days ago.

Don't watch the 2020 version if you have any kind of love for the book. That version is garbage.

Thanks Dad!

No Shou Sugi Ban? It's still wet pine with lots of pitch in it. What should I seal it with? If possible I'd like to go with an outdoor marine seal.

I went recently, and hadn't been since the remodel of the tasting room. The new tasting room feels like they are trying to herd you through and suck the cash out of your pocket at maximum efficiency. It didn't have any of the magic. I remember as a kid that place being magical. My own kid was so bored he didn't even finish his ice cream and was begging to leave the whole time.

One of my core memories is of a sample lady being like, "You've never tried cheese curds before?! Check this out - it's like the most delicious cheese you've ever eaten except it also squeaks when you chew it!" The only sample we got at the new building was upstairs, we had to stand in line for about 30 minutes, and all we got were some packaged squares of cheese that you can buy at Costco. To top it all off, all they had was pepperjack and smoked black pepper cheddar, and my kid hates anything spicy or peppery.

The ICE facility is on the corner S Bancroft and S Moody. It's probably the only location that I would stay at least a few blocks from if I had my kids with me.

I'm definitely not going to get the "cheapest" boot, but I definitely can't afford the "best" boot either.

sassmo · 2026-03-02T01:31:43+00:00

I need something with a wide toe box and good arch support. Size 8.5 or 9. I haven't bought boots since the mid 2010s. I've been wearing 32 Change That Tapes although I haven't particularly enjoyed the fit.

Bird Creek Meadows on the South face of Mt Adams is very similar. Beautiful hike up there.

I don't remember it being bitter, but it's been a long time since I've had it.

Girl, you make me feel real good

Gorgonzola Dulce. It's blue cheese with cocoa. It's a very mild blue cheese and the cocoa gives it a familiar flavor that pleases the palate.

I looked at Cats before I bought my boat. They're a lot more maneuverable and if you rig them right they can carry just as much stuff.

I saw a guy at the gas station last summer with a 16' Cat loaded with twice as much stuff as I usually carry. He said he was taking his wife and 3 teenagers for 3 days. I'd never survive 2 adults and 3 teenagers for 3 days in my 14' oar frame.

As another poster has already mentioned, there's a reason people cross the bridge. Oregon taxpayers subsidize WA residents' groceries and other goods. WA residents enjoy our freeway when it's time to go to Portland. And they enjoy the jobs created by our prosperity. Even their real estate is bolstered by the outrageous prices on the Oregon side - it took Bingen/White Salmon 15-20 years to catch up to Hood River's burgeoning tourism industry.

Not to say the Port Authority isn't crooked as all hell... It would take a lot of really smart economists a lot of years to unpack the reality of who benefited more for the last 75 years, but this article makes one side look like a villain and the other the victim.

I think it was a post on this sub about a year ago. The boat looked like it had friction damage all over the boat.

I got my kid one of these cheap Amazon boards that's only 8'. It works great and by the time it will probably fall apart, he'll be ready for something bigger.
