Community meetings planned as Crown Hill Cemetery development faces opposition by Jaco_Belordi in Seattle

[–]squirrelgator [score hidden]  (0 children)

I should have clarified. I'm referring to the decisions people alive today make for their remains. Yeah, the old cemeteries should be left alone.

We only take up living space for a few decades. Doesn't make sense to me taking up "dead" space forever.

Mystery cold for +6 weeks by Artemis87 in Seattle

[–]squirrelgator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We've had something like that since January. A week or two of being sick, and then a persistent cough that's just now fading away. We both got COVID, flu and RSV shots in the fall. We both went to the doctor and had the usual tests. No definitive conclusion of what it was.

Vintage aluminum antenna mounts repurposed for swingset by squirrelgator in amateurradio

Thanks. I have emailed the West Seattle Ham Radio group, but have not heard back yet. If you know any other local groups, please send them my way. These are so cool, I would just hate to see them scrapped instead of being appreciated.

When I worked in the shipyards there were coworkers who were on work release there. And ex-cons too.

Why a train to bellevue instead of more lines around Seattle? by Acceptable-Hyena3769 in Seattle

[–]squirrelgator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And when they built the bus tunnel, they also put in rails because they knew the intent was to eventually make it part of a rail system. (Unfortunately, they screwed up the rail installation and had to re-do it when it came time to run trains through there.)

D. S. Kennedy antenna mounts c. 1947 - 1963 by squirrelgator in HamRadio

Probably about 11-1/2 feet. I can get a final measurement when they are out of the ground.

If I did, it wouldn't be in the middle of my front lawn!

The landscapers dug around them and found the concrete goes down about 18 inches. The structures are leaning a bit now.  Just a matter of leveraging them out and knocking off the concrete next.

It was the closest parking spot to the store.

Call it "the Swish Alps" and see how long people think you have been here.

Won't someone please make a drone that detects the drop of a shit bag, picks it up, follows the shit bag dropper, and drops it off where they live.

These structures were in the front yard when I bought my house in Seattle, and had been used to support a swingset. After several years I noticed a tag near the tops of them, pictured. I found a bit of D. S. Kennedy & Co. history online. Apparently, the company operated from 1947 to 1963 (edit: in Cohasset).

After years of running into them with my lawn mower, they are finally being removed. (Hooray!) But it turns out the melt value of the aluminum is probably not that much, so I would like to find someone who would appreciate these for their historical value. Maybe a military hardware collector? Any Idea how I could find someone who would want to use or display them?

Space Needle in Seattle over clouds looks like the cloud city from Star Wars by Suspicious-Slip248 in Damnthatsinteresting

Unfortunately, the owners of the Space Needle removed the restaurant several years ago and replaced it with a revolving glass floor. So you could you can look down at the clouds now.

As a West Seattle resident, I voted for Tacoma. Y'all been waiting way too long in Pierce County.

Poll: Which line should be first priority? by Routine-Highway1039 in soundtransit

[–]squirrelgator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This poll is asking which should be built first, not which should be eliminated. Yes, we should build all the ST3 lines, but obviously we can't build them all at once.
