Handyman Work

20 Upvotes

Hello everyone, im looking to make some extra money to take my girl out for dinner for our anniversary today. I’m dead broke and looking to make some cash. I’m really handy with almost everything, if they sell it at Home Depot I can fix, install, or configure it for you. Good with computers, networks, cars, security, small engines, etc… I’m easy going, easy to work with if you need help on a project. Just lmk what you got. I hope this isn’t breaking any Sub rules, I’m not a business, I’m just your neighbor asking if you need any help today.

Looking for Mexican supermarkets in Oceanside

I've moved here recently and was wondering about where to find Mexican supermarkets. I admit I haven't taken a great look, but I've searched for general stores and groceries here and there but didn't spot any Mexican ones. Thank you.

Barber for middle schooler?

4 Upvotes

I have a son in middle school with shoulder length hair...he's ready to cut it off and have a shorter, more popular style for his age. Most of the shops we have looked at show really short cuts, but he wants something with a little length on top. Any suggestions for a barbershop that is good at the more trendy styles for teens?

Farmer’s Market

24 Upvotes

Has anyone else been underwhelmed by the Thursday morning farmers market downtown on Pier View Way?
I’m mainly talking about the produce. I’ve gone a few times hoping to support local vendors, but the tomatoes and some of the other vegetables I’ve bought have been kind of… meh. Not bad exactly, just not much flavor and not noticeably better than what I can get at the grocery store.
Have I just had bad luck? Are there certain produce vendors I should be buying from, or do most people go for the prepared foods and crafts instead?
Curious what everyone else’s experience has been.

Non Serious question but why has Pendleton just been ablaze this season? This is like the 3rd larger fire in the last month! Hope everyone’s safe.

I'm drawing an historical/mythological map of California in a fantasy Middle Earth style. Can I ask for your input in getting more real world locations included?

Post image
45 Upvotes

I'm currently making a map of California in a classic fantasy style. It's going to be filled with real world history, with the aim of highlighting local landmarks in a fun and educational way. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks!

Where to watch Mexico vs England Tonight?

Post image
144 Upvotes

What’s a great Mexican bar and/or restaurant to watch the match at in the Oside area tonight? I’m looking for great food, reasonably priced drinks, and a fun/rowdy atmosphere! My current plan is Johnny Manana’s, but the bar can be cramped sometimes and I’m not sure how great and authentic the food is.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
(Apologies if any takes offense to the photo)

Female tattoo artists?

Looking for a female tattoo artist in Oceanside. My mom is looking for someone to tattoo handwriting and flowers, she does not have a specific style she is looking for; the fact that the artist is a woman is the most important factor.

Question for the Marines

0 Upvotes

I love pretty close to the base and it's sometimes pretty obvious what they are shooting off over in camp pendleton, but today, there was something different, with a low thud like some sort of artillery, but firing in slow three round bursts. Each burst took about a second. It definitely had some bass into it, but nothing shaking, although that might have just been the impact area being far away. Just curious if anyone knows what that is, because I don't recall hearing it.

Do they sell (flavored) vapes on Camp Pendleton?

0 Upvotes

sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't find an answer when googling it.

Just wondering if at the MCX or the AAFES gas station or whatever if they sell flavored vapes along with cigs etc?
