if so: best conference

some people say fb marketplace is sketchy but I am constantly surprised by how nice and anti-scammy my neighbors are
once sold someone a nice backpack and didn't realize there was $20 in a pocket
they came back to give me the $20
today I sold one of my manual espresso makers, the guy paid in cash, and he accidentally shorted me $10
he realized this HOURS later while doing laundry and is insistent on dropping the $10 bill off with the leasing office while I'm out tomorrow
@bikemonterey @ternbicycles @skinnylatte I recently bought an HSD, the smaller version of this bike
can confirm: it is already my favorite bike I've ever owned!
was very excited to watch the new episode of “the pitt” today AND THEN
…I realized new episodes come out thursday evenings 😭
Just learned through @kitchen’s CaringBridge site that he passed away from cancer yesterday. 😔
https://www.caringbridge.org/site/48463cc1-34c1-3b2a-bdb9-79225cfbe2a4
Kitchen was one of the first locals I met when I moved to Portland 10 years ago. I lived not far from him in SE, so we’d regularly meet up to discuss industry nonsense.
We were both so excited when he was able to step away from work to bikepack around the world and so saddened when cancer cut his trip short.
We were able to get brunch many times since he moved back to Portland for treatment, but there’s never enough time, is there?
Anyway, today is a sad day, and I will be spending much of it scrolling through his travel blog.
I encourage you to scroll through it with me, it’s a great read. ❤️
rewatching reese witherspoon in "wild" and her choice of shoes is still so funny to me
like why would a person who's basically never hiked before pick danner mountain lights 😭
they're like a $450 pair of shoes
@irene people are so surprised to learn that I've lived in the PNW for 10 years and only just bought my first water-resistant jacket 😂
even when I biked during winter
I was just damp 24/7
booked a trip to SF at the end of march and I'm already tired just thinking about it
haven't traveled in five years now and it turns out I don't terribly miss it 😂
also I will have a monday in town with no plans booked and I still don’t know what I'm gonna do with that
@stefan why are they only scheduling the most boring ones 😭
give me tours of the tenderloin and folsom lol
today in amazon pharmacy:
- they had my prescription delivered to my apartment building after business hours
- the person either didn’t deliver it or left it out, where it was stolen
- amazon is now replacing the entire month’s supply which costs over $1k
bananas
@skinnylatte oh THAT part is still weird to me, but then again: I grew up on the gulf coast and hated the sun
so I enjoy it
but I'm still not *used* to it
(the rain is normal and great to me, though!)
@skinnylatte I feel like enjoying the rain in portland is less a matter of bodies and more a matter of gear
I own so much gear after ~10 years in the PNW and now I love the rain 😂
@darkuncle @skinnylatte for bike bags:
- PNX bags is queer-owned, makes cool stem bags
- north st bags for convertible backpack-panniers
- slow roll bags for bike courier backpacks/messengers
- black star bags and blaqpak for misc cycling-focused backpacks
I want to get coffee this morning but it's still dark outside and I don't trust the ice has fully melted yet 😤
was able to get coffee, because the apartment buildings did salt the sidewalks!
…but portland parks & rec didn't salt them along the park
…so I had to go to the coffee shop I've been avoiding
my life is such a struggle 😂
@aredridel isn't this the problem gumroad was trying to solve? and did solve, well?
except now I open their site and it looks like a nightmare, especially the pricing
@lzg wait did you get a tattoo? 👀
I still can't be on a bike for more than 15 minutes or so until my shoulder hurts from the leaning
all that said: rouvy is so much less aggressive than zwift and I love that for her
@skinnylatte I like that octopus guy is already in this thread twice 😂
