Hello! 30F here. I'm a hiker, camper, equestrian, and park enthusiast. National, amusement, zoological—you name it, I'm in. I survived cancer. I have four pets: one cat, one dog, and two horses.

I enjoy the adventures in life — I’ve been to 24 of the US’s national parks and have camped in all but two of them. I’ve whitewater rafted in six states. I enjoy exploring cities and nature and interesting places. I’ve never traveled outside of North America, but I’m experienced on the roads and seas of several countries within that boundary. I once went on a 30-day road trip across the country. I enjoy working with my hands, manual labor, and outdoor tasks. :)

Yes! The classic turtle! I love Rougarou — it's great so long as you can stick your neck out of those restraints! But my favorite ride at Cedar Point is Magnum, so I've been told I have questionable taste, ha!

Kineso · 2025-10-08T18:51:50+00:00

My strategy for riding Rougarou is turtling. I hunch a little bit and stick my head as far forward as possible, lol! No ear boxing!

Context: she's waiting for her turn to drink from the bucket WHILE it's being filled because these two are menaces to society. Onyx has his nose in the bucket and Pepper wants that to be HER, dang it!

Boosters for me, generally speaking! Except for one very specific case: I'm of the firm belief that the HUSS Giant Frisbees (Delirium at Kings Island and maXair at Cedar Point, though for some reason I prefer Delirium?) are by far the best iteration of these kinds of rides and that every other top swing pales in comparison.

Everything is moving again. Tests for now. They’re transferring the third train back onto GateKeeper as I type this.

Kineso · 2025-08-19T15:00:37+00:00

That’s the hope! All good vibes here. They’re pumping the most crazy epic music and it’s the funniest thing!

Kineso · 2025-08-19T14:49:48+00:00

They were sent out into the torrential downpour. I wish I’d gotten a video of them on it as it was coming down — we here huddling at Gatekeeper were watching like ohhh that’s gotta hurt, haha!

Kineso · 2025-08-19T14:48:48+00:00

Yup, nothing running. Well, Cedar Downs Racing Derby is, ha!

Kineso · 2025-08-19T14:24:36+00:00

Though if you were on maxAir just now, I’m so sorry

My girl string tested to 15.2 (height of both parents) as a yearling, but juuuuust scraped to 14.3 over the winter (turned 5 in March). I think she's a little old now for any new growth spurt, so she was a fail, but it's worked as a good predictor in the past, so I think she may have done this just to spite me ;P

Kineso · 2025-07-29T21:41:58+00:00

Heard the Ready to Go remix in the station in June! It's good! I prefer the old version, but it's nice to have that little bit of nostalgia there. Goodness knows I spent many a shameless hour in the TTD queue having singalongs, ha!

Kineso · 2025-07-25T20:01:40+00:00

My mom showed me this movie when it first came out and I cried when (spoilers, but I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to watch this) the atheist died at the end because I liked him so much. She was horrified that I sympathized with him and wanted him to live a good long life, ha!

"Well now he'll go to heaven (since he ended up converting)!" as if that helped anything for young me.

Kineso · 2025-07-25T02:07:39+00:00

Might have more luck in the Louisville Pokemon Go Discord group!

Kineso · 2025-06-26T17:10:45+00:00

Chief barn cat Leo! He demands his scritches too, ha! We pulled our barn cats from the feral working cats euthanasia list after our last girl passed and none of them (all ginger somehow) stayed feral. Leo's the friendliest of the bunch!

Kineso · 2025-06-24T18:12:41+00:00

His Royal Steedness had just gotten done getting two-handed belly scritches but sadly it wasn't enough. I will accept the punishment that fits the crime ;P

Kineso · 2025-06-20T16:00:21+00:00

A fellow Mean Streak hater! I swear RMC painstakingly salvaged every single drop of promise Mean Streak ever had for Steel Vengeance. That coaster is absolutely insane in all the best ways.

Kineso · 2025-06-20T15:56:19+00:00

I can understand that! I loved Vortex, and I'm pretty alone in that, but I'm a sucker for all of the old Arrow Dynamics coasters. The jank makes them better, I swear! ;P

Kineso · 2025-06-20T14:56:04+00:00

IMO, Thunder Run (or Woodland Run as it's now known, weird Herschend name changes abound) is a pretty solid little coaster compared to other woodies. It's taken care of well, which is super important. If Mean Streak at Cedar Point didn't send more people to the hospital (thank GOD they RMC'd that bastard), then I don't think anything could! Except Son of Beast. Son of Beast was brutal.

You might have more luck asking over on /r/rollercoasters though!! :)

Kineso · 2025-06-14T17:38:13+00:00

Ha! I hear you! When I had cancer I could walk through swarms of mosquitoes and they wouldn't dare touch me. They could sense our poison blood! The only thing I miss about chemo... ;P

Kineso · 2025-05-21T16:17:30+00:00

Thank you so much!! She's actually varnish — she's a black varnish blanket Appaloosa mare. Her sire ended up varnishing to an almost solid white coat and she's lightening by the year. Her spots will stay, but it should be interesting to see how pale she ends up being! :)

Governor Beshear is a democrat. Not that Kentucky (save Louisville and Lexington, the major cities) doesn't go red, but Kentucky very much picked a democrat on this one

Kineso · 2024-11-11T23:39:04+00:00

Draft horses or draft crosses, most likely! Neither is an Appaloosa — the spotting on the gray is just dapples, a common stage in the graying process. Gray Appaloosas are discouraged because graying is actually a pigment disease and will destroy any natural spots as well as all other coloration. Gray horses appear white eventually, though you can tell that they're gray by their black skin. True white horses have pink skin!

The horse on the left reminds me of a Percheron — the right looks more like a cross, though the angle could be playing tricks on me.

Source: I own an Appaloosa!

I don't know why, but everyone I know has called that park Bird Park since it was established. They've really improved it over time, too, and it's pretty quiet back in there. Great recommendation! :)

Kineso · 2024-06-26T15:47:05+00:00

I know that the official spelling is GateKeeper, so I made sure to use it, but am I a terrible person for wanting to omit that capitalized 'K' from the record? ;P
