I finally stopped by Ham Radio Outlet in #Tigard #PDX and they were the nicest people! โค๏ธ They showed me a variety of options: Yaesu FT-60 (this is the universal entry-level handheld radio for newbies), FT5D (touchscreen), and VX-6 (waterproof): https://www.hamradio.com (I also asked if they sell Meshtastic things; they sadly do not.)

They also recommended that I study for my Technician exam with Ham Radio 2.0 so Iโ€™m going to try to pick #hamRadio back up again this year! https://www.livefromthehamshack.tv

Tigard Bike Happy Hour with Ride_WestSide

**NOT A RIDE** Meet up with other bikey folks in Tigard! Grab a bite or get a drink. NA options available. Let's talk about making Washington County better for everyone! Hoping to make this happen on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month.

There have been several sightings of immigration agents in #Tualatin and #Tigard this week, including in areas of downtown Tualatin and in the vicinity of the Meridian Park Hospital.

Report active incidents: 1888-622-1510
Nonemergency for past incidents or others: 971-940-9053

I finally published the 3D model for the case I made for #tigard and #bitmagic: https://www.printables.com/model/1422538-tigard-bitmagic-case
It's not perfect (I need to add some fixing for the cables on the right side) but it's quite usable
#Beaverton & #Tigard have needed to do this for YEARS! As someone without a car that doesn't drive its dangerous how they don't have sidewalks in so many places or safe places for people to bike or walk. Its like they assumed we all drive. #PDX #PNW #Oregon

This bike is still up for sale on GovDeals. They had it listed for like $7k which is ridiculous, but I don't doubt they have that much money in it. It's up for auction now, and ends tomorrow. It's currently at $450 (reserve not met). I am very tempted, but I don't need $550 of mismatched bike parts in my garage. Somebody bid it up so I won't!
