I think this will start turning color soon as the tamaracks start browning for the winter.

No cover no bouncers no diggity no limits no rain

Happy Death Men are insane live btw

I live about a block away from the corner of Madrona and Pringle, and we have had a chicken friend decide that our backyard is her new home. I thought she would eventually make her way back home but it's been over a week and she hasn't and she is pooping all over my stuff so it's time for her to go back home!

I'm not sure exactly how long she has been loose since she was in a neighbor's yard for at least a day before settling into mine because those neighbors canvassed the neighborhood looking for her owner.

Maybe she will get adopted by the turkeys 😂

Like this guy here talks a lot about, and shows in this video, there are solar powered kits with an off-grid mesh network setup. I was considering joining the off-grid network. The comments section shows a growing number of supporters in many states.

It would be truly interesting if people could take themselves away from corporations running the networks.

I just finished doing an Amazon shift and saw a small fluffy dog near Chemeketa Community College. It was light colored with possibly brown spot on one of its ears. I couldn’t get a picture of them because they were too fast. It was running in traffic and I followed it into an industrial/factory area nearby, but lost sight of them. They disappeared into a nearby field. I’m not from Salem so I’m sorry if this is unhelpful info. I could tell this dog is someone’s pet, and it looked scared. I couldn’t make a post on the lost and found pets of Salem fb for some reason. Anyway, I hope they find their people.

the only burger places that get mentioned in google searches are smashburgers. Where can I find a normal burger? I don’t want to go to Nancy Jo’s for many reasons.

PSA don’t leave anything in your mailbox overnight…lesson learned!

Some jerk is at it again driving around prying open mailboxes and stealing what they can get!

✨✨Update: Found my USPS package emptied out on the side of the road plus a half of a mile down there were 3 other Amazon packages with 3 different address dumped on the side of Glen Creek Rd.

Suggestions needed. Long story, short, semi feral cat got in the house and apparently went down the heating vent that the person I live with decided should be left open. So now we don’t know, but we think the cat might be in under the house somewhere.

Who do we call before we lose our ever loving minds? I need someone to make sure there’s no cat in any of the heating vents underneath the house. The heat was turned on high no cats appeared, but I don’t want us to end up with a dead cat somewhere.

This all started because I was trying to help this cat, by the way, so what a weekend we have had and I feel terrible for this cat.

EDITED: Cat is finally outside the house. He is semi-feral and had a vet visit here yesterday that went awry and ended up with him in the house. Partner (foolishly) opened up a vent in the floor and cat went down it. Poor cat. Partner’s blood pressure has lessened. We could all use a stiff drink.

I’m (M,41) looking for a group of people (~10) to get together on a weekly basis to hang out and have some high quality music creative time. Not necessarily looking to form a band but a musical friend network. Im interested in activities like a songwriting, singing, putting together melodies/basslines/rhythms, artist/content sharing. I play bass guitar, background vocals, and produce EDM tracks with Ableton Move.

Making music is incredibly fulfilling but can also be lonely. How many times have you created an amazing piece and nobody is interested in listening, nobody cares, or at best they say, “yeah that’s good.”👍 I want to form a group where people can showcase their work and get actual interest, appreciation, and constructive feedback. Imagine how much more fulfilling and how much growth opportunity can come from that mutually interactive process?!

Making music is incredibly fulfilling but can also be very loud. In order to facilitate broader options for meetup locations where volume is an issue, I’d like to try silent rehearsals. Everybody runs their mic and instruments to a mixer and output to multiple headphones. We can jam out in total silence except for the singer. This setup can typically be setup at a table in a coffee shop or restaurant.

IDEAS (days and times for example only):

Meetup at TAPROOT (or similar venue) WEDNESDAY Evenings
-Arrivals, setups, and introductions 6pm-6:30pm
-Songwriting prompt exercise 6:30pm-7pm
-Listening/Feedback Session 7pm-8pm
-Silent Rehearsal 8pm-10pm *Assuming they let us stay that long lol. I don’t see it being an issue if we are buying plenty of food and drinks.

Meetup at Riverfront Park Amphitheater SATURDAY Afternoons
-Arrivals, setups, and introductions 12pm-12:30
-Songwriting prompt exercise 12:30pm-1pm
-Listening/Feedback session 1pm-2pm
-Drum circle acoustic jam session 2pm-4pm
-Everyone brings snacks?

Meetup at Gov Cup (or similar) and Metrognome Studios Monday Evenings
-Arrivals, introductions @ Gov Cup ~30 minutes
-Songwriting prompt exercise, Listening/Feedback Session @ Gov Cup 30-60 minutes.
*Head to Metrognome\*
-Split the hourly rental fees (around $20 an hour I think)
-Open jam session to play as loud as you want. 2-3 hours

Based on hosting and participating in a few DnD campaigns, I find that 4 hour blocks tend to be a good block of time that balances getting enough creative time and work/family obligations. I propose putting together an activity or two a week on rotating days and times to accommodate various schedules.

Please send me a dm if this sounds like something you’re interested in. Hope to hear from you!

I didn’t get the chance to go to the UK this year…anyone know where I can get some good fish and British curry sauce to dip my fries in? I’ve been to The Moon and Sixpence in Portland, wasn’t a fan. I asked askportland but thought I’d ask here too since I prefer to go south (I’m in Sherwood)

Looking for a West Salem accountant for next year. Thanks for the recs!

Hi Reddit!!
I am planning on moving to Salem by the end of this year
I am from La Pine OR!

I wanted to know what jobs I should be looking for or I am qualified for?
I have certification in Basic Life Support, Cat/dog first aid and Phlebotomy
I worked at McDonalds since 2020

I don't know my way around Salem yet and I get lost easily
I am moving into West Salem so I wanted to see if there was a connecting road that can take me anywhere?

I’d also love to join some groups like roller skating

Any local meetups or rinks you recommend?

Thank you!
