The only Steak and Shake I ever ate at was the one I took a picture of. Maybe it’s gotten better, but to me, all the food there is very bland

I didn't hear you man. Yell louder next time. We waited a while past noon, but didn't see you. Sorry!

Saturday, October 8, 2005 After this bucket of beer, we headed back to the hotel. The Roundhouse Bar. Another great spot. The beer here tasted like beef jerkey. It was nasty! My buddy Pat Dailey plays a lot at Beer Barrel during the summer. The Beer Barrel Saloon holds the record for the world’s longest bar. Beer Barrel Saloon Mr. Ed's. Another great spot. Aww... do we have to leave? Catching up on old times. Frosty’s is my kind of place. I have spent many of days there. Home sweet home! A view of Put-In-Bay from atop of Perry’s. Perry’s monument is the third largest monument in the nation. Damn! Aww... it's time to leave. It’s a tradition; the first stop at Put-In-Bay is always the Heineman’s Winery. A short little trip north of town via a golf cart. Wow! Look what I found. An old Paddlewheel boat from Cedar Point. The village of Put-In-Bay is located on South Bass Island. It is a 22 minute ferry ride from Port Clinton. Well 22 minutes if you take the Jet Express that cruises through the water at 30 knots. I always feel at home when I’m on the water.

So here is my little photo trip report of our, Karen and me, weekend at Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay. Since there is going to be a lot of photos posted, I’m going to break the thread up by days. Enjoy! Friday, October 7, 2005 After Dragster, we hit up Magnum and then went to ride my second most favorite ride in the park, TGIFriday’s. After Friday’s we rode just about everything that was open with very short wait times. Good thing we got on. Because as soon as we got off, it was down again. Karen was just little bit excited about her first ride on Dragster. Then it was open again. Then it was closed. Yeah! It's open! You must be less than 48’’ wide to ride Millennium Force. And actually, just to get right to it… I had no problems what so ever getting on MF. Yeah! Uh... were not in California anymore Toto. Now that’s the scariest thing I’ve seen so far. Alright, let's head to the park. Across from Pizza Hut was the drive-thru for Cheesehaven. The park didn’t open until 6. So we stopped for a bite to eat. I haven’t seen an actually Pizza Hut sit-down restaurant in forever. But this wasn’t any normal Pizza Hut. It was Pizza Hut Italian Bistro. WTF? Karen and I left Gavin with Aunt Angie and Grandma, and we were on our way to Cedar Point. Then another surprise! My favorite ice cream, Graeter’s Mint chip. I was in heaven! The best thing out of Cleveland in a long time. My mom picked us all up and I was greeted with a six-pack of Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold. My favorite beer in the whole world. We could finally see the sun from the CRJ. We must be getting close. And... he's out! The magical escalator ride at Chicago’s O’Hare. Gavin's first red eye. He seems alright... so far.

Thanks to Rob and Robbie for coming out on a noon ride on Magnum. It was nice meeting you guys. I'm going to start working on the TR right now Got home at 3am last night. STUPID CHICAGO!

The old Corkscrew at Geuaga Lake My mom game me $5 to make me ride it.

Are you sure you didn't drink before you saw the movie? :shock:

Yesterday: Magnum XL200 at Cedar Point during park close

I take a weekend off from TPR and look what happens. Winter is going to be really interesting

Dragster ran a little while on Sunday. Went down for the weekend around 3pm. What now?

Dragster... up then down, then up again and then down even longer, then up and then closed for the weekend. Got 1 ride in on Dragster on Friday. Rode MF with NO problems. And meet a couple TPR members. It's was great weekend. Will post a TR with a video sometime tomorrow. head back to Cali tonight.

I'll have plenty a beer photos to share once I get back to California. Check it out tomorrow.

Just got in. Using my mom's computer while were in Columbus. Heading to CP in an hour or so. Wally "Just had his favorite beer, and is loving it" Weiss

^Are they(Braves fans) still bitter about the stike? i mean, come on. It was like 10 years ago. Sorry... that was random.

Uh... I'm so tired. I didn't sleep at all after work.

^I wanted to quote Beavis and Butthead by saying something about bungs and bungholes... but I'm tired.

^Long lines for Mantis??? I must go to the park during the VERY slow part of the season. Mantis usually has a walk-on around 5pm or so. The first week in June, you just can't go wrong.

I knew I should of gotten on with them... damn!

It's like they knew I was coming this weekend. There opening it just for me... whatever

^Wow! They still use the old fashion way of filling kegs.

...A hamburger for a head is fine. But what I really want to do is sing. Sing like...

Magnum at noon? I'm about to leave for the airport. You can send me e-mail at wally@phishybrewer.com and I can check it on my cell phone. I'll see you guys there!

HELL YES!
