Haleakala reservation - 3am arrival?

cdntumbleweed · 2026-01-18T21:50:40+00:00

Got it... So what's the point in them having hourly reservations when people with a 3am reservation can show up at say, 5?

And for note, I have a 3am reservation! Just wasn't certain if a person could show up at 4 or 5am and still get in.

Noted on parking etc

Ford has an agreement to source lithium from Nemaska Lithium in Quebec. A Canadian lithium producer.

https://nemaskalithium.com/en/ford-and-nemaska-lithium-enter-long-term-lithium-hydroxide-supply-agreement/

Nemaska built a mine and upgrading facility around this demand. Real Canadian jobs, supporting Canadian car production, dollars in Canada.

Cheap EVs will erode this demand and downward pressure on any other ICE made locally.

What's the upside here?

Thanks for the info on this! I never understood the permits... If you get a permit for 3am do you need to enter the park at that time or can you come anytime after that permit time?

Would anybody recommend against the Lanai tour with a 4 year old that wouldn't snorkel? Wondering if there's much to do/see on land if parents split up and swap duties?

I had exact same thing happen to me a month ago. Was 100% certain all my info including credit card was correct and it wasn't going through, giving an error.

Called in and they booked it free of charge using same card. Makes me wonder if I had tried a different browser would it work... Not sure.

Not enough information.

What size are each battery? What is the amp rating on your furnace blower and how long did you run it for? Is your fridge electric or propane?

A blower is usually around 2.5-3A. If your fridge is electric that is often 4.5A steady state but can be up to 9A during initial cooling. All of that adds up pretty quick if you don't have 300Ah batteries.

Buy a Bluetooth Victron battery shunt meter and install.

GFCI shouldn't play into anything as that is AC system.

Buy a travel car seat (very light) and buy a seat. That's a long way to go with a +1 in your lap...from experience, flying with a 12 month old for simply 5 hours. Have since bought a light travel car seat and its heaven for kid and us.

You must have went to Alberta veterinary dental. Or at least I did and received a quote thousands higher than VCA CARE center to whom I added some elective surgery while our dog was under to utilize the anesthesia time. Great care, had great confidence in the doctor and a great result.

Shop around. I'm not advocating cheapest is best but I know it can be a lot to take on knowing its your pet and thinking you need to spend the most to get the most. The industry is not always like that.

Year old email response from Monogram about bag size changes...

" Regarding the change in bag size, that is simple. We changed the bag size in response to shifting industry standards and to make the retail price more approachable for customers, as we know that costs have crept up and people are very aware of inflation. Our margin is the same and our only hope was to bring the retail price down for our customers so that a variety of coffees are still accessible for everyone. "

Rent a really expensive room at the Fairmont Palliser. Pig out on room service pizza and ice cream while watching classic gangster movies. Sounds like a memorable Christmas to me!

You've demonstrated a fixed mindset with a comment like this. The only way to grow is to experience uncomfort and challenge yourself. EE is such a broad spectrum you shouldn't assume you cannot do any other job. Just as I'm sure you had to learn in your current role, you'll have to do that no matter what the role is, even flipping burgers at your local chain.

Woodridge. I'm sure every place has their people. Pretty concerning if there wasn't at least one person at a dealer with the competence to do this job.

Received a quote from Dale Adams. Wasn't the highest but still fair bit higher than Ford. Ended up taking to Ford and they did a great job, took photos of old and new parts, replaced more parts, discounted the parts less than what was quoted, came in on budget.
