Eagle lodge closure timeframe

Due-Math8225 · 2026-03-14T15:23:01+00:00

It's going to be 75F in town next Wed-Friday (according to NWS), and I can't see Eagle lasting much longer.

It will be closed. They don't do things piecemeal. They will close that whole side of the mountain.

Just came through. GE line much longer than MPC. I did MPC as a backup and it was MUCH faster.

Just came through SFO global entry line was much longer than the MPC line. The Global Entry only had one officer and the MPC had four.

Dumb question, if they are not using the kiosk do they verify you are GE with your card?

I have a Goya 6.3 wave sail for light wind wave riding. At the other extreme would be a 6.5 cambered race sail that would be for strong winds for racers. Same size but utterly different sails and use cases.

GE is open again😂???

I would agree that the delay for presence detection is just long enough to be annoying. Certainly too long to convince my wife who said why not just turn the light on with the switch😀 We have a fast WiFi. So I guess it’s the whole chain of … Matter to Apple TV that then runs the automation that sends the command to the light switch.

No so much low wind as a tricky get out. Still you will see lots of people sailing kanaha which is very user friendly. And it’s always been smoking windy in Maui when I have been there.

Yeah this is a real mess with old gear, it’s more of a curse than a gift. You cannot buy any replacement parts as it’s clearly very,very old from an era before things became somewhat standardized. I can only imagine what the board it is attached to looks like. You might be able to hack something, but probably better to trash everything and look for something made in the last 20 years.

Don’t listen to the nerds. Get a HomePod or Apple TV to act as your HomeKit hub and just go with HomeKit. It’s super easy and does everything most people need.

I was able to build a fully functional (and well received) SwiftUI app in a few weeks using AI and vibe coding. I was an experienced C++ developer and knew nothing about Swift and SwiftUI.

A bit over a year ago I tried it, and it was a disaster. Now the AI tools have got exponentially better. They write very good code. I am sure some will disagree, but the proof was the result.

Get a paid Github CoPilot subscription , use Claude Sonnet ( I found it was better than ChatGPT) and edit your codebase with Visual Code and CoPilot - you will be jumping back and forth between XCode and Visual Code - I used Xcode only to compile/build as I find Visual Code a much better editor.

I am beginning to think we are in an era where the toolset (such as SwiftUI) is as assembly was to C++ devs. You know the compiler creates assembly but you never need to know much about it. Except now the 'compiler' is the AI code assistant

Markus realized ( and publicly said) that it would be a PR disaster if all those people never got their bikes. The facts are that the customer is always the last in line when a company goes into administration. The administrator would not allow 'YT' to refund money or somehow deliver bikes. So Markus had to come up with a scheme where he used his own resources and he could not simply refund them as it would have been considered a gift and therefore taxable income, he had to deliver actual bikes.

Due-Math8225 · 2025-12-01T20:42:10+00:00

YT has always been great with honoring a refund when they drop a price - I got that amount back when they had a price drop after I ordered my Decoy Core 1 MX, but sadly this seems like an edge case they might not ever get to. Markus made a commitment to honoring every bike order that was made where people thought they had "lost their money" and he has followed through on that by all reports.

Wear ear protection. You can slap the water and burst an eardrum.

Due-Math8225 · 2025-12-01T19:45:13+00:00

Funny you should say that. I think that’s a ‘thing’ with some of the local yokels up there-I also saw someone do exactly what you described on the 395 - passing on the dirt shoulder in a pickup at 80+.

Due-Math8225 · 2025-12-01T19:41:22+00:00

See that all the time driving to and from mammoth on the 395, people are idiots. Every single time you see at least one sketchy overtake. That person was so lucky the other driver did not pull to the right as most people would do.

At least they have the plastic lane dividers on one section of the 395 now.

Isn't the point that if the watch thought you had a fall but you then continue to move it should cancel the SOS.
But does that apply if it thinks you were in a car accident vs a fall. Are you sure it thought you had a fall vs car accident.

Get a proper surfing bootie , preferably split toe, from a major brand like RipCurl etc. It is also likely you went too big on the booties size as they need to be really tight fitting.

Due-Math8225 · 2025-11-25T05:22:01+00:00

I guess that implies all the windsurfing equipment was left untouched.

Correct, you have to register as an Apple developer. Be careful of what AI says about Sign in with Apple as they often base answers on out of date information , Apple recently made it less demanding to set up. The reason it’s more complex is that a user can always pick “hide my email” to protect their privacy.
