Portland, as I've just found out, has the best electronics supply store ever. URS Electronics is this dingy little place with a few people at the counter working commission. I just got myself a new Weller WLC100 for $49! It was listed at 80, but the mustachioed gentleman with the gravelly voice said "I can getcha better than that." And voila!
They have a bunch of other stuff, too. But as you might already know by now, their website sucks.

42I'm not sure if this belongs in the Portland thread, the Bourdain thread, or the bacon thread, but I felt the need to announce that I ate my first Bacon Maple Bar from Voodoo Doughnut this past weekend. It is a fantastic combination and I plan to do it again and again.

43Yes it belongs here.
Damn I love the maple bacon combo.
Voodoo Doughnut forever!

I see your bacon maple bar and raise you one tummy-ache: Portland's own bacon caramel milkshake.

Thank you for posting this Mackro! Seeing that makes me glad that I learned how to drive in far snowier Eastern Washington, and am now able to park in a garage.

I can't watch YouTube at work, but if this is the one filmed from a rooftop, the driver deserves an award.
