Did a little marathon with my body today. Worked the midnight shift at the brewery. Went home at 7am, left for lunch around 10:30, stopped at work to visit some old friends, drank some beer, got some cheese, went to the beach, went to Six Flags Marine World, had pizza, and now at midnight, I’m typing up a trip report. I’ll go to sleep soon… after I finish this. Enjoy! Damn! That's going to be hot. What are you guys up to? The Solano County Fair was also taking place across the street. A Saturday, in July, and still only running 2 trains... WTF! Silhouette of Kong as the sun goes down. Another shot of V2 Another shot of ROAR! KONG! Karen's first ride EVER on a Vekoma. She said she really liked it. A Vekoma Boomerang not running... wow, that's a shocker! Gavin loves SFMW... alright, your going to the doctor there little man. V2.2 Roar! Zonga... will it ever run again? Ahh... Six Flags Marine World. Gavin loves the ocean. Is Gavin going for some cheese, or my wallet? Time for some cheese. No Gavin! You can not ride the clydesdale. Nothing says "I love you" like a cold, clean, crisp Budweiser. Now I know I drank to much. My buddy Auggie! When to work to taste a little beer. Yummy, lobster for lunch!

Boomerang at Six Flags Marine World I don't know what happened, but I know that this didn't look right when I visited the park today. Did anyone hear anthing? Somethings wrong here... How much did I drink today? Hmm...

Ted, dude... You get extra credit in my book. I don't know how much you pay for Christmas Ale in WV, but in Nor-Cal is goes for about $14.99 a six-pack. And it's brewed right in Frisco. It's worth it though. It's nice that the recipe changes ever so slightly ever year. Hmm... Dortmunder Gold!

I'm not a big fan of America West either... ecspecially when I have to stop or leaving Las Vegas. LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE! I would hate to see them operate in Chicago. Yikes!, O'Hare is a nightmare for me. Wally "The New AW AirBus Planes are Nice!" Weiss

I usually fly United. They have the shortest flights from Sacramento to Cleveland so I can make my trips to Cedar Point during the season. Usually around a 6 hour flight, vs 8 or 9 hours. Next Cedar Point Trip: Oct 7th to the 9th.

^After watching AIRLINE! then INTERVENTION... I don't know. I'll just sit in peace and watch FAMILY PLOTS and not think about it. Wally "How much more is America West?" Weiss

AIRLINE! Why did SouthWest agree to do this show for A&E, I don't know? It really scares me to think that people like that are on the show, sitting side-by-side with me in the air. One more reason to avoid SouthWest and pay an extra $50 for an assigned seat and fly another airline.

Hmm, thanks Elissa. And to think, I hate SouthWest so much. There growing on me. Rather fly United!

^Thanks Robb. Hmm... Coaster Mania 2006 airfare?

So I'm suppose to fly to Baltimore for Labor Day weekend, but it just doesn't seem like things are going to work out. Has anyway tried to get a refund from SouthWest Airlines before? Can I get a refund with no hassles or should I just forget the $200 I spent for the flight? Thanks!

Last one, I promise "Resident Brewer and Damn Dirty Hippie"

Mmmmm... Rolling Rock! Is that Labatt in the fridge also? I wish I could find it here in California. Labatt... Good times, good times!

I want matching shirts for my next group trip. Thanks for sharing!

You can always journey off with others, but you always return to the original group. This is my second family. From left to right: My best friend Craig, his boyfriend Wayne, myself, my second mother Kathie "Googie", and my second father, Sam

Only $995/month, and if you act now, you get the first months rent FREE! Great neighborhood. In walking distance of Club 33 and other hot spots!

Yeah Phish! Phish! Live at Disney!

Very cool! Another way to freak out Commerson's dolphins. I can't even count how many times those little guys have jumped up out of the water and onto the pavement at SeaWorld Ohio.

Ever hear the old saying, “Take two of these and call me in the morning”? Well in the case of Vekoma coasters, it’s “Take two bottles of these and call me when you headache finally goes away!” I’m still feeling the head shake from Invertigo 2 weeks ago. NEVER AGAIN!

Very nice! I need to take a trip back to Cedar Point. I've only been there 5 times this year.

The 1996 Raptor Crew at Cedar Point. While cycling 3 trains, the crew was able to keep all trains moving and not stop until they reached station for over 344 times. Raptor had about a 30 minute wait all day for a Saturday in July. I miss the old days!

^Oh geez, here we go! Let's not forget about the roller coasters folks

I have friends that are puppeteers in the show. Old Cedar Point roommates a matter of fact. I need to see more shows. Open my mind some more. Has anyone seen Spamalot?

Discussing politics and war on TPR… this can get really ugly.
