Ewker, you were kind to me. I was afraid of what the caption would say.

You must be getting lots of hits on that account. I sent my wife the link and she got a "exceeded bandwidth" type of message.

Hello, All ---

I got back to Augusta on schedule Saturday PM, fired up the infernal device here, and the monitor was dead as a doorknob. I guess I better start reading to see what kind of lies you guys have been telling. We have to try and keep our stories straight, after all.

man, I dread checking email and starting that avalanche of spam............

I was going over the 'Who have you met ' list.
What the heck is going on with Walkabout1 and Walkabout2 ?

I know one Walkabout, but not two.

Didn't see your question earlier.

I'm fine. I have an appt. to see my doc tomorrow morning and get checked out.

Typical engineer response...
...all data, no background.

Thanks for asking, Ewker.

And thanks to Supertroll for giving me a ride home, so FG could continue his hike. I wish I had felt better, I might have tried basecamping at Collins West.

bourbon balls
Here's the recipe I used (Wild Turkey Bourbon Balls), except that I double the amount of pecans which also requires using a little more corn syrup. And I used 100 proof Old Forester instead of WT.

I guess everybody's entitled to a little embellishment of the facts when they're excited about some event or other, TD. Consider the hatchet buried for my part. You wanna meet, come on a TT hike, bro. I am planning on going to the Sipsey Bushwhack. Check it out.

FG --- those Acrylic Pint Glasses can be obtained from Kegworks.com.... four at a time, or by the dozen, <G>. Also, I just noticed the URL of the manufacturer's website stamped on the bottom: Encoreplastics.com, so it might be advantageous to cut out the middleman. Made in USA, dagnabbit!! (REI needs to carry their entire line, I think)


BP --- sorry you conked out, Dude! Get well and we'll catch you next time!


MM --- yaz, we need to round up Skully & G00se for a Central Savannah River Area TT meeting and suds eradication confab.


Who was Walkabout1 vs. Walkabout2? Which was which and who was whom?

---suds eradication confab.

That's hilarious

longlosthiker --- thanks for the recipe.

Sounds good, Tilt. It was good to meet you and I surely need to meet the other CSRA TT'ers. I do think there are things even a small group of individuals can do to help our nation's struggling barley farmers.

Augusta TT'ers, helping farmers 12 oz at a time.
dayhiker
9:59:59 AM
1/20/04

Hell, in Eastern Arkansas we help the out 12 oz at a time for up to 30 times in a row.


30 packs outsell 12 packs 4 to 1 in West Memphis. 30 pack of beer = $16.50

Dang, that's some cheap beer. Does it come in a white can with "BEER" printed on the label?
dayhiker
10:12:58 AM

No it is red and white and says "Bud" on the label.

Seriously, dayhiker, all "major" brands are between 16.50 and 17.00 a thirty pack depending on which store is trying to draw business.

One of those, "we guarantee the lowest price deals".

My preferred beer is actually Yuengling, for the record.
dayhiker
10:34:33 AM

Around $17.00 by the case at Costco...

Wow, an extra 6 pack in Arkansas for no additional cost.
dayhiker
10:49:16 AM

Yah, and I bet it would only cost you $30 or so in gas to go there and take advantage of it...

Memphis is 5 1/2 hrs away. Multiply 11 hrs times my billing rate and I'd have to come home with an 18 wheeler to justify it...now there's an idea.

I don't recall saying anything about selling it.
dayhiker

Dang guys, your case of beer costs the same as a case of soda around here!
treebait
11:01:55 AM

Doesn't matter. Possession of that quantity would considered proof of intent to sell, your protestations notwithstanding.

Like the guy standing in court saying that 20 kilos of marijuana were all for his personal consumption, the judge, jury, prosecutor, and your own attorney (under his breath of course) will be laughing at you....lol...

Is it time for a remake of "Smokey and the Bandit" ALREADY??

LOLOLOLOLOL
Tilt

Can I play Burt Reynolds or will I be stuck being Jerry Reid
dayhiker
11:14:30 AM
1/20/04

Unfortunately, the premise of "Smokey and the Bandit" is no longer workable, since Coors beer is more widely available than it was in the 70s, and by now everyone knows it sucks.

I can't think of a similar product that could be substituted, but I haven't really thought it out of course...

You're just raining on everyone's parade today aren't you?

Just be glad it's only rain, lol....
bitpusher
11:18:25 AM
1/20/04

You *could* do the remake with Coors, but you might have to pay people to drink it....
Tilt
11:19:08 AM
1/20/04

Nah...rewrite it as terrorists smuggling Coors beer and threatening to force people to drink it at gunpoint...add more car chases and explosions, and you've got a guaranteed summer hit.

Product placement from Coors alone will make it profitable...

Thanks for the info, Tilt. I see some acrylic pint glasses in my future. :D

I'm sorry, Usama. You're going to have to shoot.

Oh yeah... those glasses are LOTS cheaper direct from Encore Plastics. The shot glasses are kinda cute, too.
