Chess club for an 8 year old?

My child will be 9 in December and loves chess. is there a local club or organization he could join with other children who play chess? I know some schools offer it, but ours does not. I have also heard of Rose City chess but it seems to be a bit further of a drive and I’m hoping to stay in Beaverton. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Lodge flat grill on Coleman 2 burner…love or hate it?

I’ve heard mixed reviews about using the lodge flat girl (just bought it at Costco) on top of the Coleman 2 burner camp stove. Is it true that it doesn’t heat evenly? If you use it, I’d love to hear your thoughts of pros/cons. Am I better off buying a camping blackstone, and if so, is there a specific one that is better than others?

Cloudiness on dining table..is my only option to refinish?

I have a wood table that has developed cloudy spots on it. It’s not from heat because we use thick placemats before placing any food or drinks down. I’ve tried to remove it with Howard feed n wax and restore a finish, but that doesn’t work. Also tried the hairdryer/towel thing and that didn’t work. I’ve discovered that I likely damaged it by spraying Lysol on the table a few times to clean it, which I now understand not to do.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of the cloudiness or is my only option to refinish the table? The photo is not mine (my picture doesn’t accurately capture it) but it is essentially what our table looks like but in a lighter stain.

I’m sick of my hair, but don’t know what to do with it!

I’ve been so tired of my hair lately (and honestly not liking it all) but I don’t know what to do with it. I have an appointment today with a great hairdresser but besides getting a trim I don’t know what to tell her. My hair is thin (but lots of it) and very “limp” as I would call it. I have a very square face. I’ve done a bob in the past but not sure I want to go that short again. I also really dislike the angle at which the top part of my hair hits my face, if that makes any sense. I usually feel bothered by it being in my face or covering half my eyes so I tuck it behind my ear but I don’t like how it creates almost a straight line across my head that makes my face look even more square. A middle part doesn’t look great either. I’m probably making this super hard 😂 Anyone have any ideas on what may look good? not interested in changing the color, just style/cut

Black currants in the area?

Besides West Union Gardens, does anyone know of a farm that sells either ready picked or u-pick black currants? Also looking for a place that sells jam flats of raspberries. Let me know if you have seen anything!

Oregon coast excursion from rockaway beach - worth it?

Has anyone done the train ride before? Is it something you would recommend? We always go to rockaway for the 4th but have never done the train. We have 4 kids so it would be $150 for us all and I’m wondering if it’s a must-do activity or if it’s not really worth the price. thanks!

Help me find the mens flag tee 😩

My family wears the matching 4th of July tees every year and I guess I was a little late to purchase this year because I cannot find a men’s red xl anywhere. I’ve called just about every store in my state. I’m hoping to find a store that has it and can ship it to me, and thought I’d ask on here if anyone knows of an old navy location that has it! thanks in advance!
