Mine isn't. God, that was a miserable summer.
I actually have windows and doors that I can open in my apartment now so I'll be alright

When it's 104 out, I'm not sure those methods help.

Better than being trapped in an oven! I'll take cold showers every 30 minutes if necessary, but I'll probably be outside most of the time anyway.

You guys are tripping hard that heatwave was awesome! I have fond memories of those back to back to back days of 100+ degree heat. I also work at an outdoor pool so I had plenty of cooling methods.
Hey man, if you start now you have plenty of time to load up on AC for the top floor!
I have a brick tudor with central AC. Mantra family is welcome to come over in speedos in August.
Oh shit I am a Ramen Otaku. And I sort of know Ramen-Nate (leading Tokyo based Ramen blogger). I am also part of a loosely affiliated group of Ramen coinnosiuers. And I live in Wallingford.
LET ME HELP!!!!1
What pool? Where is this?
The #1 lesson from that heatwave: if you wait until it's 90+ to buy A/C or even a fan, it's too late and you'll never find one.

Hehe. Our brick Tudor lacks AC. Basement recroom is very cool, though. Thanks!

I need to get a little A/C unit for the baby's room I think. It's on the third floor and gets a bajillion degrees in the summer. Difficulty: her window opens horizontally rather than vertically. Didn't see anything compatible last I looked (when that room was my gaming room, and I use to be unable to game until night time for a week or two at a time in the summer).
We used a Sharp AC unit that comes with adapters (Basically plastic panels of varying lengths) that would do that just fine. And it was BOSS. 90 degrees to 60 degrees in a couple of minutes.

Why is it that every time I come to Seattle there's an anime convention? Bunch of fucking dirty looking man children running around dressed as ponies and shit. Oh well, weather is fantastic and I ate at Salumi for lunch. Also, our hotel upgraded us to a suit because we are up here celebrating our wedding anniversary!
The hipster convention was last weekend so this weekend it's anime. They alternate weekends.

I was working at Mounger Pool (in Magnolia) at the time.
What convention was it last weekend?
First time since I got here the weather actually feels a bit like home.
I'm going to melt if I go back to Florida this summer.
The humidity makes it so much worse over there. We can bitch about the Seattle heat waves (and often do) but one thing they aren't is humid.

We bought a portable heater/AC unit for our daughter's room last year at Costco. It's awesome.

At Quinn's Pub right now. Great restaurant in a fun neighborhood! You Seattle hipsters make Portland hipsters look tame!

Costco sounds more affordable than the Sharp unit does...

Headed up to Ballard tomorrow. Eating at Paseo and The Walrus and the Carpenter. Any recomendations for things to do in that area?
ha, no kidding. I love the couple days when the news is outside Costco reporting how they're out of AC units and people are still looking when the forecast is back in the 70's in two days. On that note, after a couple years of everyone doing that shouldn't everyone about have a portable AC unit by now?
lmao so thats why, was driving in downtown and saw 3 dudes in narutos costume and i started laughing. sakuracon or some shit in washington convention center i believe
go see the locks, walk in golden gardens and generally tool around. Good food choices btw
SMH I'm one of those cosplayers.

Did you eat at Paseo today? If so I was literally right across the street from you at Uneeda Burger (assuming you went to the Fremont one).

Walked to the zoo today, my daughter's first visit. Hit up Bluebird afterwards for some ice cream for her and mom, and beer for me. Absolutely beautiful day.

Bierstube on Roosevelt is near my house. Same owners and setup. Their full-kitchen Feierabend is my favorite, though. Schnitzel sandwich with fries and curry ketchup OMG.

Yep, I've been there as well. Fantastic place.

haha prost. did you manage to drink a boot of lager in under, god, 15 seconds or whatever the record is? the bartender chick working the last time I was there was making fun of my unwillingness to try. ;(

We used to do the boot at Bierstube, but never crazy fast. Oh god, I can't imagine downing that much fizzy yellow beer all at once...

I did. It was glorious! I know it's a good sandwich when I have to wash my hands after eating it!
Edit: I just realized I was not at the Fremont location.
Waiting for a table at The Walrus and the Carpenter right now. Ballard is a really nice neighborhood!

I can down a pint pretty fast. I can also drink a boot. Definitely can't drink a boot fast. I'm down to have a race next time you're in town though, Mac.
Rode the Ruckus out to the Locks this weekend. Solved some crimes. Had a breakfast sandwich at that place right next to the Locks entrance. Sat in the sun. Good times.

Anyone know any good attorneys in the area for a tenant-landlord dispute?
My former landlord is claiming some absolutely ridiculous damage costs as an excuse for not returning my security deposit as well as a "last month's rent" deposit I paid (which was completely separate than the security deposit) for a total of $3,000. He's done a few other things that seem legally suspect, and I'm thinking about pursuing any legal options that may be available to me, but I've never been in a situation like this.
I'll be asking some friends for advice, but figured I'd pop in here to see if anyone has been in a similar situation and knows of a good attorney.
Thanks in advance for any help!
