NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I was in Fred Meyer yesterday Issaquah about 9am for a loaf of bread and could not believe the lines at all the checkouts including the self checkout lines that went down the frozen food section.... WTF really.

 

Try being at Discount Tire right now....

 

Exactly im sitting around the rest of west Seattle

 

Here on the east side, I decided to grab some groceries and water in case we had some runs here as well. Stocks were lower for sure.

Great to have the truck back! Got to grab a bolt to replace one I rounded off and reinstall the skids tomorrow.

Then I'll probably drive around and see if anyone needs pulled out.

Damn glad I won't have to be back at work till Monday night.

You all stay safe over there!

 

On another note, gonna have to replace my LCA bushings in the near future.
Figuring poly bushings with greasable bolts.
Does this seem like the way to go?

 

I'm worried, 9am and it's not snowing yet in South Everett.

 

Sure it does. If you're that critical that you need constant, uninterrupted power, then you need to have a backup. It'd be really dumb to die because a bird fried itself on a transformer and took out power to your block for a few hours. Or the utilities company secured a section of the grid for maintenance not realizing that it was actually a bigger section than they thought. Those are my two most recent non-weather related power outages. One was only a few hours, the other was about half the day.

 

Why I did my shopping on wed!

 

On and off light snow in North bend/Snoqualmie.

 

Think you misread what i wrote...(or i wrote it poorly )

The average person should be able to go 2-3 days with no power/support. And if they cant they need to reevaluate their choices.....ie you dont need a fucking generator cause your power is out overnight. Those who have issues can freely go about having backup power and all that.

That was more what I was trying to convay

 

Drove past the Ace Hardware in Renton by Planet Fatness and the line to get into Ace was out the door and around the corner towards McD's.

Perfect demonstration of the lack of personal preparedness.

If the S really hit the fan, there would be lots of "victims" crying for food and water and clothing...

 

Mine fit but when I air down they rub on the spindle gussets.

Might get a set of cables for the front and only run chains in he rear

 

I’m not experienced with chains, but I’ve been told chains up front aren’t that necessary.

Edit: I should say the potential damage vs. benefit isn’t that great

 

even North Bend QFC has empty shelves. I only needed vodka for the weekend.

I will trade pinto beans for AK mags.

 

What's the beer isle look like? Asking for a friend.

 

beer looks good. Liquor is getting a little thin.

 

Sounds like beer goggles

 

Costco in Covington still had kirkland vodka right by the entrance last night... according to a friend.

 

I saw the parking lot and turned around and went home.
