PleasusChrist posted:As for purchases, I just bought a 6 inch BMT from Subway. It was about as bad as I was expecting it to be. I have to get one every few months to remind myself that it isn't good. I just did the opposite & purchased one of these:  Bánh mì from a local Asian grocery store deli next to my friend's place in Seattle. I don't eat sandwiches too often (much less bánh mì) so I need to remind myself that these are excellent.

Needed stuff for work so I stopped by IKEA. TORKAD to hold paper towels. Mounted it to a column to take up less space.  VOLMAR with armrests because my old chair was crap and this was at the "As-Is" section for over 30% off.

My 6 year-old Macbook Pro died, so it was time to replace it. 2013 13" Macbook Air with 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 512 flash drive & Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB video card. Saved $400 since it was refurbished. Now to find a case sturdy enough to keep this baby alive when I get into the inevitable bicycle accident...

 Surefire V2 Vampire flashlight.  Ameriglo CAP night sights for my Glock 19 in orange. I didn't get a Glock front sight tool so installing this will be... Interesting. When I do get them installed I plan on practicing low-light shooting drills.

Because I'm an idiot & didn't think of buying one for cheaper until the last minute, I snagged this at the local service center when I dropped my car off for repairs while I'm on a road trip with my sister this weekend. That way I can still do work stuff on my Macbook Air while driving through the desolate parts of Texas & Arizona.

 Novara Headwind Bike Gloves. Fellow studio-mate & goon Crosshatch recommended these gloves for riding in the winter, and they're on sale at REI. Found out that getting the women's version gives me better touchscreen controls since it's more snug than the men's version.

The great REI Garage Sale was this weekend, so I snagged a couple things. REI Adventures Pants.  JOOS Orange to charge my iPhone & GPS when I'm out camping. I then went to a Goodwill & found these in my size.  Adidas Stan Smith Adicolor Tron BL4's.

I got my sister's old Canon EOS Rebel for Christmas, so I figured I should get some things for it. Spare batteries.  Compact Flash adapter so I can use the MicroSD cards from my Contours. Gonna take some pics from Multnomah Falls & the Mt. Saint Helens area this weekend.

Even more fun when I accidentally hit one of the switches to the port that my old external hard drive was connected to while I was transferring files.

Reverse Centaur posted:Two nights at Westin Portland You're coming in at the perfect time, as the "rain season" is over (honestly this year was alarmingly dry). VendaGoat posted:Check out powell's city of books, if you're a reader. Voodoo Donuts is very touristy if that's your thing; if you want a legitimately better donut but without the kitsch check out Blue Star Donuts . Deschutes Brewery is pretty nice. I prefer 10 Barrel Barrel Brewing Co. & they just opened a new location downtown too. Casa Diablo is the vegan strip club, but it's kind of far walk-wise from downtown. Mary's Club is the one in the heart of downtown, but honestly it's just a strip club with some history. If there's one thing worth checking out it's the Portland Underground Shanghai Tunnels tour. Discover Portland's pirate history!

The problem is that Union Jack's is on the East Side, so it's a decent hike if walking across the Burnside Bridge. I make this assumption because Reverse Centaur posted:Thanks for all the Portland tips, friends. I don't plan to make much of a plan - just wander north and east until I hit river.   edit: I was going to list more decent strip clubs but that will reveal way too much of what I know of the area.

Nice kicks. I may pick up a set since I'm running my Gazelles into the ground. Content: Stopped by local comics store for 1st time in about 2 years & picked up some stuff:  The Shaolin Cowboy Burly Man Comics TBP  The Shaolin Cowboy Adventure Magazine, collection of stories with Darrow's art.  Battle Angel Alita: The Last Order Omnibus Volume 2. I didn't realize they're up to the 5th Omnibus, so I have a lot to catch up on.

The Burly Man comics series (original story/1st appearance of the Shaolin Mon) is regular size. The newer Dark Horse Comics series (new story) one is available in a large format hardcover. I wasn't aware of the adventure series, hence me picking it up. IIRC that should be all the Shaolin Cowboy stories.

Eh, I'm in the "clean up immediately after cooking before eating" camp. I figure that I'll be in a food coma after my meal, and the time to quickly put stuff in the dishwasher/wipe the kitchen down gives my food time to rest. This comes in handy when cooking meat, where if you don't rest the food you get all the juices squirting out. Not purchased yet, but debating whether to get the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight on PPV at my own place for $100 with a couple friends or go to a bar that's got a $30 cover. Actual purchases:
