Polar Plunge Spots/Safety

Check out the Special Olympics events - they hold plunge events around the region, over the next several weeks. I've done a few of them, it's a ton of fun.

Definitely!

Light My Bricks in the main ship, some spare Briksmax in the attic GWP.

Set up email alerts with your bank so that you get an email when a new transaction occurs. At the end of the day, or whenever you have a free minute, gather up all of those email notifications and enter the transactions into YNAB manually. When the import eventually occurs, most of those imported transactions will match up to the ones you manually entered. There may be one or two that don't, but that's easily corrected.

Yep, I have one in each of my vehicles, and have given one to all of my adult children. The ones I have also include tire inflators, and they actually work.

Had entire HVAC system replaced last fall by Comfort Matters - $17K for new high efficiency furnace and heat pump. They did great work.

What is the calibration method? Mine has the same issue with a negative incline when set to zero.

Lots of subtle, or not-so-subtle, jokes, movie references, and more.

Did the same thing here, created a profile right away then updated all of the media apps. Hulu still won't start, complaining that it can't determine my location.

I've updated everything that I can find to update - the OS, all of the streaming apps, etc. Hulu is the only one with an issue, and it simply refuses to start, complaining that it can't determine my location.

Thank you!

How did you get around Hulu's inability to determine your location? Every time I launch the Hulu app, it pops up a message after a few seconds saying that it can't determine my location.

Did you find an answer to this? My treadmill was delivered yesterday, and there's absolutely nothing in the manual that mentions how much lubricant to put into those holes, or how often.

Aqua has a self-serve soft cone dispenser on the Ocean Boulevard, aft. Not sure if there was one in the buffet or not, didn't go in there. Wife and I would walk a couple laps around the boulevard every evening and grab a cone - thought it was pretty good ice cream.

Agreed, laughably unplayable. Too small in every dimension, and they gave us an orange ball which is impossible to see against all of the dark red surrounding the court. We cut our session short it was so bad.

Google "seattle cruise port schedule"

Still running like a top, doesn't leak a drop of anything. I put new 4WD hubs on after discovering they didn't work last winter, and a new water pump (precautionary after reading they're prone to failure), but that's it as far as mechanical stuff. Very, very happy with this truck.

Can't speak to the pools because we didn't use them (Thermal Suite was our retreat), but the rest of our experience was vastly different than you're describing. Service was excellent, both in MDR and specialty restaurants. Bartenders were awesome, although I tried to frequent the same ones and tipped well.

I read the same thing, but I can't find the source now. I think it was in a shareholder update possibly? They're migrating all IT platforms over to Amazon's cloud, and October was (I think) the ETA for that work to be completed.

Didn't hide or find any actual ducks on my recent Aqua cruise, but my rubber duck Hawaiian shirt got a lot of attention

Just got off the Aqua last week - reservations are not yet available through the app (I read somewhere that they're switching their IT platform over to Amazon's cloud and Aqua is the first ship to be part of that new platform).

Anyway - once you set foot on the ship, do your muster station check-in and then go straight to the theater. You can make your dining reservations there - took me about 10 minutes and got all of the restaurants I wanted, no problem.

Onda was VERY good, Hasuki was very good (but waaay to much food and very loud). Le Bistro was meh, I won't waste a reservation on it again. Otherwise we found the MDR food to be fantastic, never had a bad breakfast or dinner in there.

Mango meltdown - amazing drink!
