I was hoping the water at Denver International Airport would taste good, since Coors Light advertisements like to shill that it uses real Rocky Mountain Water (not tm). It tasted pretty bad though. We used up our one-time United Club ™ passes. It’s ok, please don’t actually pay $50+ to chill in a club in an airport.

tfw I tell my coworkers I’m going to Ohio and they ask “….Ohio?”

well, where’s his island?
I’ll probably summarize my thoughts after another day there tomorrow. Great fun though! Initial thoughts are Orion being a little disappointing sitting in the 2nd row comparing it against Fury 325, but after getting additional rides in the back and getting more floater airtime on the hills I had a better impression of it. Racer is a really cute dueling wooden coaster that is better than it looks; Diamondback a decent B&M Mega with good floater but pales compared to Seaworld Orlando’s Mako, and Mystic Timbers probably one of the best GCI wooden coasters despite lacking the ‘verticality’ elements I like in other ones. The Beast I probably would have to flesh out in more detail later, but for something made in 1979 (though technically it’s had refurbishments this year!) is pretty damn good in present day!



how many ways do you need your chili?
We opted to eat Skyline Chili for dinner. It’s a chain local to this part of Ohio, though I would consider their chili to be more like a beef sauce than a chili, as I would expect a chili to not only contain ground beef but also stuff like kidney beans or simmered vegetables in it. This dish includes some spaghetti, chili, grilled cheese (the most popular “3-way”), and diced onions (making it a “4-way”). It’s not amazing, but it’s good! Maybe consider it a spin on spaghetti using chili instead of tomato sauce but with grilled cheese added to it.



My brother wanted to check out this local ice cream chain. Since they’re able to state Since 1870 on their logo, that mean’s it’s probably at least decent. I opted to have a waffle cone with Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip and Bourbon Ball. The chocolate chips are really big, since they made their ice cream batches individually. The bourbon ball also had a bunch of other little crunchy shits in it, but it’s not annoying to me like Rocky Road and it’s almonds. Very good!
Settled in to our hotel for the night. I haven’t played my mahjong game for the day yet as of 23:30 Eastern Daylight Time. But I can pretend I’m still on Pacific Daylight Time and say it’s 20:30, so I still have time…!? Luckily I’m not dead from only sleeping 3 hours.
