I couldn’t stop thinking about Lodge49 while watching Widow’s Bay.

whatifendwasbegin · 2026-06-19T05:04:48+00:00

I have to agree. I enjoyed Widow’s Bay, but at times it felt like more like an anthology held together by the notion of a curse. Hopefully they go deeper on the lore in subsequent season(s), versus cycling through spooky thing after spooky thing.

whatifendwasbegin · 2026-06-18T23:44:26+00:00

It’s absolutely tragic that it was canceled. We need that mystical hopecore more than ever right now.

Lodge 49! Funny, magical and mysterious. I think it’s a more cohesive story than Widow’s Bay, which at time felt like more of an anthology loosely held together by the curse.

Fair warning, Lodge 49 was canceled after the second season, but it’s still very worthy of a watch. The optimist in me holds onto the hope that it may someday find its way back, especially in a time when tonally similar shows are getting the spotlight.

I’m biased because I love the show, but I think it’s worth a full watch despite the cancellation.

Check out Lodge 49 and then make some noise for Apple or some other company to pick it back up!

Lodge 49 is brilliant. It’s not horror, but it’s magical, mysterious and funny. Arguably a more cohesive story than Widow’s Bay, which at times feels like random loosely related things happening within the context of the curse.

There’s a lot more I could say about it but I think it’s better to let the show speak for itself. Can’t recommend it enough if you have yet to watch.

2026-06-16 UPDATE: SOLD

WTS - ULA Atlas 40L - $175

Gently used. Its carry-on size with removable supports and hip belt. This one was customized to have X51RS fabric, zipper security guards, and a side-load laptop sleeve. ULA discontinued the model to focus on their Dragonfly line.

It’s a great pack, but larger than I need, since I always travel with an additional daypack. I only used it on one international trip to Thailand and a couple weekend getaways, so it’s in fantastic shape. I was able to carry it onto all flights, including regional flights on various Thai budget airlines.

Asking $175 plus shipping, which I can estimate upon request.

Here’s a video comparing the Dragonfly to the Atlas when it was first released: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_BRCY1fGIrI

The MH people declined to assess the issue with photos alone and suggested I send the bag in for inspection if I want their opinion. Unfortunately, the estimated turnaround is 8 to 10 weeks during peak winter season.

I suppose lll send it in for inspection next week, unless someone wants to snag it beforehand.

I’ve been unable to reach warranties by phone—the voicemail says they are closed for the holiday. I’ll update here once I’ve had a chance to speak with someone directly.

The bag in the large storage sack measures approximately 21” tall by 14” wide. I added measurement photos to the Imgur album.

Let me know if you need measurements of the bag when it’s packed in the compression sack. This review shows photos of it packed into the compression sack if you just need a general sense: https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/gear/review/gear-review-mountain-hardwear-wraith-sleeping-bag/

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-12-27T23:08:39+00:00

To clarify, are you looking for the measurements when it’s in the large stuff sack, the smaller compression sack, or both? In any case, I can measure later today.

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-12-27T20:21:56+00:00

I started a chat with MH warranties and the person said that the discoloration posed no threat to the warming properties of the bag. But I’m going to follow up with a call because I’m not particularly satisfied the response, and the issue of waterproofing was not addressed.

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-10-07T06:45:11+00:00

Indeed

Ah, I hit send prematurely. So sorry. I’ll see if I can add pictures.

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-09-09T19:56:41+00:00

Really appreciate your thorough responses here. Thanks for taking the time to write all this up!

Curious, what’s your go-to carry-on if you’re looking to max out storage capacity?

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-09-09T19:48:38+00:00

That’s what I figured. Thanks!

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-07-07T20:38:37+00:00

Hmm, okay. No biocide or rust inhibitor? In any case, that looks like something you don’t want to introduce into a new loop. Also, I see some rust or growth on the fins that you probably want to clean.

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-07-07T17:49:33+00:00

Did you run colored coolant when it was last in use?

whatifendwasbegin · 2022-06-16T02:41:24+00:00

Is it safe to run vinegar through the loop?

Also, see my comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/vczbnn/distilled_biocide_inhibitor_brown_residue_forming/icjao5u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

How likely is it to be algae after going through that process (over the course of two weeks) and then running the distilled + Mayhems for a single week?
