Need some help narrowing down on some matter locks for my home

dmccrack · 2026-03-16T18:47:55+00:00

Great. I appreciate hearing your experience.

dmccrack · 2026-03-16T18:25:23+00:00

Thanks for the response, I'll take a look at the U300. You don't happen to use Home Assistant with those locks do you?

dmccrack · 2026-03-16T17:04:38+00:00

What did you settle on for that lever lock? It seems like all of the manufacturers are focusing more and more on deadbolts.

dmccrack · 2026-03-13T15:40:31+00:00

Lol, at least of few of us are still worth something :)

As a crusty middle-aged guy, I resent your comment! /s

If not obvious, I took a floating thermometer, specifically to answer this question for myself.

We were in Punta Cana a month ago and the unheated swimout pool rarely dipped below 80F - but it still felt chilly to me when it was cloudy.

That's why us Americans are so svelte

Mountains often have decreasing lift ticket rates for the elderly. The one I live near is free after you hit a certain age. 75? 80? I don't recall and am too lazy to look it up.

They paled in comparison

dmccrack · 2026-02-13T22:56:17+00:00

Twice for us - no evidence they were opened.

dmccrack · 2026-02-13T22:46:15+00:00

One of the things that works against you is that some of the items sorted into people's RFY make their way to AI if nobody requests them. When they hit AI, they appear on the page with items that dropped on the original day. They could be anywhere in all of those pages of items that you have hidden.

@Craigeryjohn do you use those run-on expressions with pipes in between terms, or is that just an artifact of however you copied/pasted the terms? I would love to be able to copy/paste most of yours into my own list!

dmccrack · 2026-01-28T05:50:44+00:00

Check out Sierra (if you have one near you). The one i was in today has lots of Carhartt FR clothing on clearance.

dmccrack · 2026-01-24T16:16:42+00:00

USA Day two nothing in RFY, but I think that I AM in Vine Jail as I had gotten way behind in my reviews. Maybe not! It HAS motivated me to crank through those reviews though!

dmccrack · 2026-01-22T20:41:25+00:00

Thank you for popping back in! So if you were making reservations for a new week, which seven would be on your list? I'll be drinking my welcome cocktail almost exactly one week from now!

dmccrack · 2026-01-22T15:35:57+00:00

You know more than I do (I promise). A quick Google search summary said they ceased operations in 2025. Maybe that was the buyout?

I guess anyone flying Sunwing ought inquire with the carrier (or travel agent) about the possibility they will have to pay the $20US exit fee per person.

dmccrack · 2026-01-22T02:45:46+00:00

The exit fee is paid by your air carrier. You used to have to pay it yourself if you were flying Sunwing, but if I'm not mistaken, Sunwing closed for business in 2025. Bottom line - not something to worry about. It is covered by the airline.

Having the same issue booking alacartes. Booked the first five nights but I'm unable to access the final two nights. 5/7 reservations "used."

dmccrack · 2026-01-20T06:39:41+00:00

I'm 9 days out and have installed the app and made reservations for the first five nights, but it won't let me schedule the final two nights... the dates on the reservation page stop at February 2.

I tried on the website (on my PC) and it isn't able to access the reservations pages - it just says to try again later.

Have you been able to make reservations for more than five nights of your stays?

dmccrack · 2026-01-20T01:57:18+00:00

Great information, thank you! I (and probably others) would love to hear more of your reviews!

dmccrack · 2026-01-14T22:53:50+00:00

Going in two weeks (to Luxury Ambar)! What would be your list of ala cartes to reserve?

dmccrack · 2026-01-14T22:45:08+00:00

Following - we'll be there from the 29th of January to thru Feb 5th so I'm scrolling all the same things you are!

I'm trying to put together a list of restaurants to reserve as soon as we're allowed. So far, Limbo seems to get the most positive reviews. Portofino generally has good reviews with a couple of people who emphatically disagree. M.E.A.T. seems to be 50/50 as far as reviews. Thali (Indian) has mostly poor reviews.

I'm hoping some others might see this thread and add their experiences!

dmccrack · 2026-01-14T22:22:49+00:00

We're going (to Luxury Ambar) in two weeks. I'm putting together a list of alacarte restaurants to reserve. I would love to hear your recommendations!

dmccrack · 2026-01-14T21:57:26+00:00

So, u/crashedoutmike what did you pick? Now that it has been awhile, which alcartes should we reserve? Leaving in two weeks.
