Hi all, I’ve got a 2003 EX with about 180k miles. I’ve had it for almost 4 years and have typically done maintenance myself.

Last week my Element would not start. The car will crank but not turn over.

Some other context:
• I replaced the starter in early June after issues getting it to start. Happily ran after that.
• Engine was shaking during traffic light stops, so I swapped out all motor mounts in mid-June. Idle is still a little rough, but I haven’t noticed any other power issues.
• Two weeks ago I got some sort of a leak in my radiator. Had to replace that as well, but was able to start and drive afterwards.

I don’t think this is a battery issue, as the same thing happens when

I’d like to take my son down to the Seattle Center this evening to see Coco at the mural.

I understand showtime is around 9pm and seating is first come, first served. Does anyone recommend a time to arrive by in order to get seating space in the lawn?

I’ve got two tickets to Rev Hall and hoping to get two for the Seattle ZooTunes show instead… anyone want to swap?

I’ve wanted to be a dad for a very long time. I’ve known how much I love kids, being around them, helping them grow for a very long time (been a teacher’s aide, afterschool program leader, and nanny in my past lives).

But when my son was born, I wasn’t quite sure what to feel… I didn’t feel an instant “love at first sight” kind of feeling. Sure, I knew I loved him, but it just wasn’t what I thought I would feel, wasn’t what I had expected… Even in the fir

Let’s assume, for the sake of the exercise, that a big name wants out of their situation this summer. Let’s assume they also have Dame in their ear, that they see the magic he’s making here with the Blazers and they think that with their talents, the two of them can be options 1 and 2 (or 1A and 1B) on a real, honest-to-god contender.

It could be Joel Embiid if you want it to, it could be anyone you’ve got your eye on that can pair up with our PG and go deep into the playoffs.

How does the front office make it happen from a salary perspective? Can we keep one of Ant or Jerami? How do you get another All-Star level talent to Portland without totally gutting the rest of the team?
