Yep...try getting it...nope

 

I love travelling.

Allows me to drink light beer from a number of interesting venues...

Tomorrow, we are off to the heart of the flat lands, followed by going to one of Canada's only dry towns...

We will bring in our own goods.

 

Sorry, forgot to mention that I, while missing the turbo today, realized that pumping 1200 plus foot pounds of torque through a 9 inch wide 295 section tire yielded less than stellar tyre performance. So, I have dialed it back.

It made for a new appreciation of an 18x12...

Tomorrow, eastbound and down.

 

i drove around the lake to the beer store.

 

Sounds 'Ruf'....

 

Mmmmmm... I have great memories of drinking these while in Germany. Beer halls are sooooo much fun!

 

not much to do these days.

but i am thinking of getting a small boat that can be towed.

 

Me too. Lots of great meals (with Spaten beer) at Spatenhaus an der Oper in München, followed by a liter of beer at the Hofbräuhaus on the way back to the hotel.

 

i have this theory, that high alcohol content German beer is at least partly responsible for lederhosen.

 

Heady Topper is good, but overrated. I would agree 5 years ago it was top of the list, but no one beer holds that title for long. So many amazing NEIPA with different hop nuances that once you try enough of them it's hard to decide which one is king...there are just a lot of really good ones. Same goes for Pliny...it's a really good west coast IPA, but the name carries more than the beer itself.

 

I'm a big Innis and Gunn fan. Heady Topper is the best IPA I've tasted, but yes, there are so many to try.

 

finally got to drive the car since putting the 100 octane low lead avgas in it... loaded the stage 2 cobb OTS tune and my god the car is a different animal... there is zero hesitation and it pulls hard... i did a very quick 2nd gear into third and the car screamed but i ran out of road before i could see what the max boost was... i'll get the car out tonight after i put the kiddies to bed and the temps drop a little bit...
