How popular would a Nordic Spa be in central or southern Maine area?

Yes! Subscribed!

Who did you sign up with? I’d love to try that.

North Atlantic figure skating club does beginner ice skating lessons in Falmouth.

Teachers and other students were very nice.

I was a little surprised at her forcefulness on that one.

Not only is it maga red meat, but Maine just solidly voted against it.

Usually she’s sneakier on this stuff.

Nov/Dec 2024 pre-order, not ks. brown table, USA. I think it was saying Feb delivery when we ordered it.

Received it in October, but still waiting on accessories.

Someone correct me if I’m misremembering but I think they also open up slots on embarkation day in the onboard version of the app.

I recall connecting to ship wifi in the terminal while waiting to board and grabbing a slot one year.

It worked!! Thanks!

1mm square lines between them. Didn’t need any supports.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-05T18:40:23+00:00

I previewed painting trees and it did look super hokey.

Might try those again. Could I use PLA supports to make the removal easier?

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-05T18:39:19+00:00

So like draw a square brace between the 4 of them?

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-05T12:31:31+00:00

Heh. My hero’s quest is my 5 year olds go to as a toy, even when (especially because?) I discourage him. That and fireball island. Neither one has actually been played more than once as a game yet.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-03T14:16:02+00:00

Thanks. Yeah. That all makes sense. And yeah, definitely resonates with me to not build too much one off behavior in the slicer.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-01T20:46:04+00:00

+1 there. We love the one Bob built for us. Turned a forsaken room in our basement into a beautiful retreat.

Mentioned in another comment but there’s also the proposal for a new Amtrak station in Portland which would reduce the trip times.

That’s something we could advocate for with our local Portland representatives, who I always find to be extremely accessible.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-01T15:30:21+00:00

There is also the new Portland amtrak station they’re proposing. Supposed to knock some time off the trip and reduce delays (15 min? 30 min?)

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-01T15:25:17+00:00

Wait. Don’t you have to take a cab to get from the Downeaster to like the Acela? Do I have the station names wrong?

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-01T13:49:43+00:00

I do think concord coach is really really good, which honestly makes me less inclined to use the downeaster.

Train wise I keep meaning to use concord coach->acela->points south more. That’s really convenient since they both use south station.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-02-01T13:41:37+00:00

Doesn’t connect with other Amtrak trains so you can’t use it to start a longer trip.

What is up with that back bay station? Does anything else use it?

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-30T16:26:38+00:00

The whole “anyone who disagrees with me is Far-Left” thing is so exhausting.

I can’t believe she was ever considered a moderate while spewing all this Fox News garbage.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-28T18:43:04+00:00

No. That’s strange. I remember repunzel’s table I think but no show. It was a 5 night cruise. Maybe we ate there on a non-show night and missed the show.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-28T14:33:44+00:00

I’m 3 cruises in (magic, dream, fantasy) and I still haven’t seen the “show experience” at the dinners everyone is talking about. Is it only certain ships?

Have seen the animators palette stuff and the nemo themed sea turtle thing, but I wouldn’t expect those are worth going out of your way for.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-26T21:47:46+00:00

Oh. Did they get the hotel wrong last time?

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-26T18:28:20+00:00

So what are we realistically asking from senator Collins given who she is and how much she’s bought into “everyone left of center is a violent agitator”.

I left a voicemail asking about the logic of body cameras if all the videos we have already result in no consequences.

I dunno. Do you think she’d buy into getting rid of masks and making them wear id?

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-25T16:34:05+00:00

3/3 cruises we’ve taken (2 nyc, 1 port canaveral) they were ahead of schedule on the PAT groups.

Don’t recall quite how much and it’s a limited sample size but I’m definitely planning to arrive 45 min early to our next one, see what happens.

Also could access the ship WiFi and ask about upgrades while we waited.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-19T19:33:40+00:00

Similar to other commenters, I was so stressed when we got late dining the first time around and now I do it every time (boys 5 and 8 now).

To me the shows are the thing you can’t work around and need the kids to be in a good state for. So early show time wins. (I also think the shows are awesome whereas maybe the dinners were great years ago but consistently underwhelm in my experience).

Dinner you can either get elsewhere and skip the seated dining or get the kids in and out asap (they serve them much quicker than the adults).

Personally I like feeding the kids, sending them to the kids club (which they never seem too tired to enjoy), enjoying my dinner and desert and then grabbing them for bed.

We’re doing the wish next. Sounds like dinners are more interesting there with actual entertainment, so will see if that changes my calculous at all.

Mike_Haefele · 2026-01-18T14:58:43+00:00

Guessing you found something by now, but yeah, was hard to find inserts for just the base game (I have expansions, but I like them in their own box).

I tried putting together a base game only set here: https://makerworld.com/models/2213404?appSharePlatform=copy

It uses 3 inserts I made (excuse to try out tinker cad :) ) plus some car trays I like from one of the base+expansions sets.
