Seaside Aquarium:

"You’ve heard of an ocean sunfish, but have you heard of the hoodwinker sunfish? On June 3rd a 7.3-foot (221cm) hoodwinker sunfish washed ashore on Gearhart beach, just north of Seaside, Oregon. ...It wasn’t long before news of this fish reached Mariann Nyegaard, a researcher based in New Zealand. The photographs she saw indicated that this might not be a run of the mill ocean sunfish (Mola mola) but a different species that she was very familiar with, the hoodwinker sunfish (Mola tecta). "

Large truck next to giant sunfish... sunfish almost as big as the truck!
Person crouched next to sunfish... the sunfish is a lot larger, maybe 10 times larger (albeit, lying down) than a human

When I first saw Hughes House, the 1898 home (now a museum) built by the Pacific Ocean near Port Orford, OR, I thought, "This is a place to grow up in, be a child in, run about and play in!"

And it is good to know that, at one time and for awhile, there was a family in this house, there were children, and they did run and play through this magical place.

Today's wine review, a Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley. Nice stuff, and very affordable.

Today I checked out a heron rookery nearby! My conservative count (already possibly incremented by my photos) was 15 herons, probably all fledglings — NO verified responsible adults.

I mean, would you not trust these faces to take care of themselves?

@faerye I am still sad about a nearby, longtime Great Blue Heron rookery now gone - due to shitty development! The rookery was there for decades.

The rubberizedsurface on my #Garmin #Oregon is dissolving. It seems like it's not real rubber, as silicone oil makes it worse. Any ideas how to fix?

distantreplay,

@byteborg Use an alcohol based cleaner to remove every trace of oil and solvent. Unless the silicone you used was food service grade, it probably contains petroleum distillates that will attack some synthetic rubber.

If you can remove the case entirely you can attempt to re- vulcanize the styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). A weak solution of acetic acid (vinegar) may help reharden

@distantreplay
It's food-grade silicone spray, that's usually used for food processing machines.
Need to read about SBR. Thanks for pointing me at it.

I learned something new about DMV law. If you buy a car, and don't register it, all your parking tickets go to the previous owner! And there is no way anyone can change that! The previous owner has to pay your parking tickets forever.

You can request a document from the DMV that shows you're not the legal owner anymore, it costs $4, and they never send it to you. You can request it again and pay another $4!

Maybe I'll just report the car stolen, since DMV still shows me as the owner.

This is why you do the paperwork and fill the forms out yourself when you sell a car. You can get it straightened out but OMG who needs that hassle

@asbestos @bamfic

Yeah, I once sold a guy an old Toyota and he never turned in the paperwork. So later when he got arrested the police called me and said come get your car. It was a mess.

👀”At least 66 members of an anti-govt group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in Republican party in #Oregon.

The candidates stood for GOP precinct committee person (PCP) slots in 3 central Oregon counties in this week’s elections, w some facing no opponent & thus winning their positions by default. The role of PCPs includes electing the executive of the county-level GOP apparatus”

I love the end of this story about yesterday's power outage caused by a beaver:

More important still, Gutierrez confirmed that “the beaver was okay.”
