What to do on a down day...

Definitely a down day today. Originally we had been looking at Montana today, but I'm glad we didn't go. At this moment (8.25 MDT) storms are just starting to pop up there, so anything that may mature is gonna do whatever it's gonna do after dark.

In any event, we woke up today with nothing to do. So we figured we'd try to take in the Rockies game. Found some $20 tickets in right field and got there just before the start of the game. For a couple of guys going on a vacation based on weather, you'd think we'd have realized that it was gonna be 97 degrees in Denver today. Well we didn't.

Watched seven innings of the game and just couldn't stand the heat anymore. Being a mile high, you're a mile closer to the sun...something we learned the hard way. I am ROASTED. Burnt to a crisp. Extra well done. Fried. You get it.

Got back to the hotel and chilled for a while, before heading to get this...NOT A PIZZA PLACE...for dinner. We went to a place called Noodles and Company, a great pasta place that apparently is a nicer chain place here in the midwest. Kinda reminded me of Panera but a lot better. If you ever have a chance definitely hit it up.

Tomorrow is again kinda meh. Might be a chase day in Western Nebraska or Northeast Colorado. IF a storm can go up, it will probably do something good, the question tomorrow is really gonna be initiation, at least this far south. Saturday still looks quite good. A bit conditional again however, similar to tomorrow. IF...IF a storm can go, it should be able to spin hard, but will a storm go? We can only hope at this point. Either way we plan on ending up in North Platte, NE tomorrow night, as it gives us nice options for Saturday. It also won't be too far from any storms that we may get tomorrow.

Added two more huts to the list today. 10.
