^ Took a ski vacation. < Took a trip to SFMM. V Took a trip to the doghouse!

Fun day at SFMM today. And Diana decided to attend a dinner this coming Saturday where I will receive an award. I thought that was nice of her. Eric

Yes, many times. Did you see any airplanes today?

^^ Good to hear. That Rio del Tiempo is the most WTF ride in that park. Eric

^^ I figured that, no offense to you. But I found it funny that the ride is in fact open despite what the website says. Eric

X was running, but I don't care for it, so I didn't ride. Eric

The girls ran off for the day, so I decided to get out myself. I'll be brief, especially because I spent less than three hours there. Strange for a Saturday, but there was hardly anyone at the park. In order, I did all of this: Walked onto Revolution. Had a one-train wait on Tatsu. Used the single-rider line on Déjà Vu and waited for one train. Took my last look at Psyclone intact (and enjoyed it). Walked onto Gold Rusher. Had a three-train wait on Riddler's. Two-train wait on Batman. Went over to Scream! and had it break down when I was one train away (they never did get it going again). Waited three trains for Goliath before leaving. Not too shabby. The End. Eric

"Deja Vu is closed until March 24 for scheduled routine maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience." (trcg721) See my trip report elsewhere in this forum. I rode it today. It is not closed. Eric

I got a five year service award today...from a company I no longer work for. Eric

I don't even get the original question... Eric

^^ ALASKAN MALAMUTE!!! We have a husky, and yes, they're similar. Ours is female and has one brown eye and one blue one. (I'll have to get a picture and post it.) Nice Photo TR, though, Pete. I'll bet that trailer was comfy in its heyday. Sometimes I think something like that would be ideal to have to go camping in. I'm not much of a camper, but that's due to being uncomfortable in a tent and roughing it. Trailer = much better. Eric

"I think it's quite an accomplishment when you get Dan to post in your thread." (WillMontu) And you get me, too, as an extra added bonus. But more and more parks are offering sugar free/low carb stuff. Do ask in restaurants and shops. Most workers are more than happy to help you. Epcot does have their sugar free cheesecake (Dan got me a piece when we were there in October---good stuff!), and sometimes you can find sugar free or no sugar added ice cream. All the walking you'll do at a park will help as well. I don't know whether you're taking insulin or doing pills, but do be sure to take those as prescribed. (You, of course, already know that...) Bottom line: you'll be fine. Eric

No, but my wife gets those occasionally. Do you have high credit card bills?

^ That is a nice page, only I couldn't read it. One obvious difference is that Eejanaika's trains have only five cars, thus reducing the overall weight of them by almost a third. And each train has a distinct color. Eric

I'm glad I got to meet you and Alessandra at WDW back in October. Best of luck to both of you and I hope to see you again sometime. (Maybe here in California...) Eric

I'm looking forward to finding out how 4D: The Sequel does. One thing I noticed (from Cyclone Man's pictures) that I wish they'd do here is to put padding on the car behind where your calves are. That would be nice. Too bad I can't go on your Japan trip. I can't afford it right now. Eric

Now that Eejanaika has been open awhile, I was wondering if anyone here has ridden both and would offer a comparison. Eric

No, but I played it back in the '70s. I'm eating popcorn...are you?

^ Age 14. < Age 47. V Age two months!

Panda Express for lunch two days in a row! Eric

Where will my next job be? Eric

There's something wrong with me. It's been like summer around here (SoCal), and I'm still dressing in a T-shirt, sweatshirt, and heavy jacket when I go out. And yet I'm comfortable. And, yes, I'm wearing pants...Levi's 501s to be exact. No need to scare anyone... Eric

When I was at SFMM on Sunday renewing my pass, I noticed X running. Even though the park was all but empty, I had no desire to go ride it. If I never do so again, well, then so what? X really does nothing for me. Eric

I've never been to Cliff's (one day), but it appears that they're doing what some of the Big Boys don't---maintaining their wooden coaster. The fact is, you have to replace wood on those things, and you don't have to wait till the ride's ten years old to do so. Kudos to Cliff's! Eric

I'm really enjoying our weather here in SoCal as of late. It's almost like summer! Eric
