we are so back

  Refreshed myself on how to do the abc export from Unity to Houdini.  Now need to re-import.  But before I can really consider this done, I want to review the math. In depth.  It's also time to contribute to some OSS. Moonray, for one. It will take a lot of work and it will be worth it.  btw state fair still slaps but no single riders allowed on Mach 1 (their Speed replacement)

autumn of ascent: sept through nov 2026

again I've used this name before, and didn't quite get where I wanted to, but we're going to try again. This is from now until Thanksgiving  FUN ACTIVITIES  Lagoon, including Frightmares = regular, with pass Cornbellys, including Frightbellys and Scaryville = regular, with pass Aquarium  = regular, with pass, renew pass before November Utah State Fair = this weekend  Water Slides: Outdoor = season done, all outdoor parks closed :( Indoor = season begins, don't forget to do them even with fall fairs in the mix  Kuwahara Wholesale: Pick a day and commit to it.  Ricochet Canyon and Liberty Park: Useful for later November; optional.  FanX: Saturday pass already bought.  Hogle Zoo: only once because their season pass is for chumps.  FITNESS Outdoor Swimming: Pool open at least through September 28th Leaf Walks: Don't skip September; the cool transition of the trees is fascinating to watch.  5K through Marathon training and racing (Curren...

thinking about wdw marathon weekend...

Because I am somewhat in withdrawal from Disney, having not gone to any Disney property since April 😛 I miss Orlando. I know marathon weekend may still be cold, but I still yearn for early morning taper runs along the all-star sports path, spending all day lost in another world, and nights at Disney springs, universal citywalk, and funspot. Who knows, maybe I'll get a funspot pass just so I can ride white lightning every night. Probably not. But you never know.  I should like to fall asleep to the hum of the AC in a cozy all-star sports room after walking along through the swamp on a quick post-dinner walk. The End Zone food court never disappoints.  My only thing is that I wish I was doing a full Universal day but sometimes you just have to go full-blown Disney, no apologies, no regrets. We will see. Maybe I will sneak something in somehow. 

Got a beautiful bridgeday yesterday actually

So yeah, opening weekend may have just been worse than I expected, but the second weekend made up for it.  Cornbellys was pretty chill at around 12:45 pm yesterday. No one was there. Football game, maybe, combined with it being a hotter day. Got the pre season experience.  Pros of being injured I guess, if I did Big Cottonwood today I wouldn't have been there so early (or gotten my piece of Jet Star 2)  Nice fall preview! Felt early! There was a calm satisfaction that there are so many run days ahead before winter I where. Like: "hey, we are getting a preview of fall now, but it's still summer!" Then I went to Cherry Hill for closing day and lost myself in the summertime. 

Bridgedays has been kind of a letdown so far

Opening day at Cornbelly's wasn't blazing hot, quiet, devoid of people, and still feeling like midsummer, sweating profusely in a hot cornfield with a cider slushie.  Instead, it was 80s (read: comfortable), and packed. Insanely packed for Spanish Fork. Felt like late September/early October packed.  The grilled cheese was having issues due to their power, and then when I ate it, I got kinda sick later. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but rather that my stomach just couldn't take it for some reason.  A bit of a letdown. I've been looking forward to those strange crossover days since early February, but they're not -- this year -- all they've been cracked up to be. I ended up retreating back to my water parks, mostly. Lagoon itself had nice crossover yesterday - haunts almost ready, Thriller playing while at the water park.  But I don't feel  it.  We have one more weekend and IDK.
