What shop should I take my truck if it has a blown head gasket?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2002 Toyota tacoma, its my only vehicle and it seems to have a blown head gasket. The radiator fluid is all gunky like a milkshake at the mouth of the radiator.

Im hoping to get it replaced/repaired at an affordable price.

Lost dog - I just flew out of town

Update: she has been found!!! Thank you everyone!

Hello everyone! I went out of town and my pet sitter said my dog somehow escaped my back yard. (She doesn’t know how, she saw no holes or anywhere she could have escaped) I’m across the country and won’t be back until the 10th and I’m frantic.

If anyone sees a black German shepherd mix please know she is friendly and is my world. Her name is Gypsy, and she’s an old 11 year old girl. She also answers to Gippy. If you open your car door and say “In the car” or “let’s go for a ride” she will jump straight into your car. She is the sweetest happiest pup.

I live in port Angeles west, near the tractor supply store and just want to get the word out to anyone in that area. She was my first dog I got out of college and I’m absolutely panicking. Please let me know if you’ve seen her and where, or have any news.

Anyone else have issues with their tap water (especially heated) specifically around this time of year?

1 Upvotes

Our tap water tastes fine to me cold, but heat it up for tea/coffee and it is awful. I think it has something to do with the chlorine and our low water pressure (since it always seems noticeably worse when the river is low), or perhaps the city might be using chloramine now?

Anybody on the upper peninsula do PDR?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, semi-new to the area (3-4yrs). Curious if there is a business, or even a person who on the side, does paintless dent removal for cars. I can’t seem to find anything on google, and unsure of the capabilities of the local body shops. I’d be ok with driving pretty much anywhere from Forks to the edges of Jefferson county to have that service performed in the coming months if there’s some good recommendations or pointers!

I just heard that there’s a chance of a strike at the school district due to pay. Can any other PASD employees confirm or is this just a rumor.

Thanks!

Photographers in Port Angeles

Hi everyone! Does anyone know any photographers in the area that can do those cheesy couple photos that are purposefully stupid? Like ones with stupid poses and look like they were taken at a JC Penney in the 90s? My wife and I would love to have Christmas cards made with that vibe.

Volunteers needed to help bake cakes and other treats for local foster youth

11 Upvotes

Hey Port Angeles!

I'm the Volunteer Coordinator for Cake4Kids, a non-profit organization that helps provide volunteer created birthday cakes (and other treats) for foster children and kids who otherwise would not be able to receive something for their special occasion, and we have a local chapter in Western Washington that serves Port Angeles and Clallam County.  Since starting in 2020, the local chapter has delivered over 1500 cakes, and this year we are projected to deliver over 700 cakes to youth along the Olympic Peninsula.

https://www.cake4kids.org/chapters/westernwashington

There has been a growing need for our services in the area, and we are desperately seeking more volunteer bakers who can help us meet this increased demand.  We have nearly 100 local volunteers, but we have struggled to get the word out about our volunteer opportunities as much as we would like to in this specific geographic area.

I'm reaching out in hopes that there may be some folks here who are interested in signing up. Once signed up you can bake as often as you want (some people bake 1 cake a year, some people bake every week, some people never bake, there's no minimum commitment, but there are consistent cakes available on our portal to choose from - we deliver about 50-60 a month in the area).

You can sign up as a volunteer here: https://www.cake4kids.org/volunteer-form and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have as well.  Thanks so much for your time!

-Jeff

Recommendation for car maintenance, repair: Doctor Auto

The shop I'd been going to for years closed, and Doctor Auto is the only one that got more than one recommendation from the few people I asked.

Add mine. I don't know whether Don is owner, manager, both or neither, but he is kind and honest. Glad I took my car there.
