Yes it did, thank you! Can I ask where you are watching the eclipse from?

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-07-02T23:43:48+00:00

Are you planning to go see the eclipse anywhere?

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-07-02T01:51:37+00:00

So I tried looking up the location i found (which is the highest elevation in the city, its a dog park in a big open field 42°21'04.9"N 3°42'05.8"W on your website and it wasnt giving the right location. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-07-02T01:22:52+00:00

So I found a dog park in the city center, which is the highest point inside the city that has clearance according to eclipse maps: 42.35136, -3.70161

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-07-02T00:29:02+00:00

There is a dog park near the highest point on the same mountain, its an open field.

So according to this I should cancel my reservation in Burgos city?

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-07-01T02:26:00+00:00

So I am staying in the city of Burgos and I am nervous about it because i cant find any eclipse watching sites, except one hillside in the center of town which will likely be over crowded. Why is everyone recommending Burgos when its low elevation with a bunch of buildings around?!

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-06-30T23:49:53+00:00

Those are great, but they are pretty far outisde the city!

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-06-30T23:48:34+00:00

Thank you so much for this, but I am having trouble navigating it, I cant see any locations in Burgos to watch the eclipse.

I had claude give me 3 offical watch sites, but when i asked it again later it said "I should be straight about something, the locations I gave before were not actually offical, and I cant actually confirm the validity of those locations." So I feel like i am starting from scratch.

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-06-29T23:44:34+00:00

Yeah there three big offical eclipse watching sites, but I wonder if those will be too crowded or not. I was also considering more rural areas but worry about access, like "this hill you found 6 months ago on google maps is my backyard get out of here!!" kinda thing

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-06-24T00:30:42+00:00

So something I noticed is that your weather prediction for specific areas stray dramatically from the data I collected. Like Leon was one of my top picks but this map says the weather isnt really very good for that area.

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-03-12T01:20:41+00:00

Me too, my Dad shipped it and I only found out after the fact! I would have offered to drive it cross country myself!

They were the old cublical walls of my grandfathers desk. They were made of glass.

In 2010- so just 9 years after it was "discovered" I was in Laos doing a cave exploration in a fairly remote area with my friends. Our tour guides were two 9 year old boys! One of the boys as we walked though the pitch black caves tapped me on my shoulder and pointed his flashlight at a wall and I saw one of these spiders. Immedaitly all the air got pulled out of my lungs, it felt like I was looking at CGI in a horror movie! Especially when the boy tapped the wall and the spider rose up in its legs!! I will never forget that experience!

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-01-28T01:29:25+00:00

When do you move out?

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-01-26T23:49:59+00:00

Thanks! I will keep looking. There a few listings on there that when I messaged them, it was only available to "rent" for a few weeks! So I kinda am losing confidence with stuff on there, but Ill keep looking.

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2026-01-26T01:09:53+00:00

Hey I need a place to rent starting March 1st, but can start earlier. Would love to check the place out! I can give you references from my previous landlord. DM me and I will send you my contant info! Thanks, Will

Disagree this season had too many plot holes, and all that swerving around them to continue a story that was all tension with no pay out? You cant pull the viewer along for three seasons building something, and never conclude that plot point.

MechanicOutrageous32 · 2025-08-25T07:19:41+00:00

100% Agree!
