The mom looks very well - and very happy!

I have two daughters - I can tell you that dads are putty in the hands of daughters.  There is no defense - enjoy it.

I recently found a hard cider brand called Woodchuck, made in New England.  Pretty nice stuff!

Yup...opening up the secondaries on a big-block with 4-BBL carb tells you why they call it "the loud pedal."  Even the noise under the hood is loud.

Over $1400 now.  The seller comes across as an extreme asshole from what he's written.

Carter Abbreviations (OCD kicking in again)
AFB=Aluminum Four Barrel
AVS=Air Valve Secondary
TQ=ThermoQuad
WCFB=Will Carter Four Barrel

There were bigger 4-barrels around at the time, but in the case of my '66 GTO the AFB also translated as "flush toilet". The flow ratings on the AFB series went from around 400 to 750 CFM - I don't know the one on the GTO but vigorous around town driving netted perhaps 10 MPG.

One of the departments at our university also uses Bluehost for external storage.  I'm currently using Box. net for offsite files, but I'm considering moving them to Bluehost this summer because it would be less expensive.  Unfortunately that also means having to renew every one of a couple hundred file links in various courses!  Arrrrgh.

I'm also fond of most of the Northwest microbrews - from Red Hook through Hale's Ale.

Actually, I walked through the first location of Hale's Ale with Mike Hale when he was a county Extension agent in Colville, WA.  He was in the process of outfitting the shop with stainless tanks that came from a defunct dairy nearby.  That's a course of a lot of start-up microbrew gear, as much of the dairy stuff is stainless.  I've been very pleased to see Hale's Ale go big in the Pacific NW.

My dad had a nice heart-shaped candy box that he re-filled with candy every year for my mom on Valentine's day.

I have adopted that practice - sometimes I even let her choose part of the contents.  There are plenty of good candy stores around where I can fill it.

I like the idea.  They're both gone, but I can honor their memory in this practice.

I am fortunate to live in Fort Collins Colorado, home of New Belgium Brewing, ODell's, and the slightly newer Fort Collins brewing company.  This may not be beer heaven, but it's dang close!

The list of specialty brews made within 2 miles of my house include:

Odell:

Cutthroat Porter
(And that's just a partial list of their classics, disregarding seasonals and specialties..)

New Belgium:

Fat Tire
Blue Paddle
Sunshine Wheat
1554
Skinny Dip
2 Below
(And about 20 more...)

Fort Collins Brewing:

Retro Red
Chocolate Stout
1900 Amber

There's also Coopersmith Brewing/Restaurant in the old town square, which has about 10 of their own brews and seasonals available at all times.

Yes SIR, we do beer here!!

PhD...? bummer, Al... can you get anything for that...  ;D
 

I administer beer as needed, then go crawl under a car and work on it.  Or maybe it's the other way around. :P
