I'll work on that this afternoon!

 

[rohanski]

Looking forward to it. The other side weighs in.

 

[D*Bo]

you'd have to discuss that with my husband...

Well I'm about to hijack here...

you're right nextdoor to me. I'm over in North Attleborough.
Where do you go to get your supplies?

If you were to put SWMBO up for sale what would the add look like?

Mine

69 SWMBO Power Wagon
Clean, white exterior, runs good, only driven two or three times a week, mostly for Sunday morning drives. Sometimes hard to operate, and a little hard to start in the evening but I use alcohol for a starter and she cranks right up. Although hard to operate you can operate her intoxicated without worry of DWI. Economy is poor. She can drain a bank account in one month. Able to go from zero to screaming in two seconds flat. Brakes don’t work but I have installed an ejection seat. When she’s screaming out of control just pull ejection lever and leave kids strapped in till she hits a wall. Headlights are very shiny but has some junk in the trunk. I was thinking of getting a detail and overhaul next year. Good on the open road but has a constant rattle which gets worse with starting fluid. Interior is relatively clean from trips to church on Sunday. Seats have a couple of stains but I think that’s from the Sunday morning drives. Not too many electronics on this model. I retrofitted her with a cell phone but it seemed to increase the rattle. Comes with two kids, two dogs, and four cats as a bonus.

Asking for a brew sculpture or best offer.

If I was interested and had a brew sculpture lying around, would I be allowed a test drive?

DH For Sale: 1970 Mack Tandem Axle Tractor. Second owner. All gauges and instruments in fair working condition. Sheet metal in need of minor repair. 10 speed transmission, a few gears are stripped, takes some getting used to. Runs rough and backfires when first starting out but after you get it going the ride is nice and smooth. Perfect candidate for a frame off restoration! Will consider any reasonable offer!

And I/We get our supplies at either Hoppy Brewer or Witches Brew in Foxboro.

Melena,

Good one!

Don't let SWMBO see this... your's sounds to be in better condition than her's...

Go check out Blackstone Valley Homebrew Supply over on Park Ave in Woonsocket, great people over there and a really nice setup.

 

[Melana]

I like those guys too! BVHBS is a little far for us to drive on a regular basis!

Here's another vote for the Witches Brew. Steve is good people.

I know this does not have anything to do with the theme but to rdwj (post #8) I fell out of my chair laughing at your avatar!!!!

I got snobby attitude from him every time I asked anything about recipies that wasn't one of his basic partial boil extract recipies. It really seemed like he wasn't interested in running the store anymore.


It's about the same time to get to Witche's or Blackstone Valley.

I thought it was just me. I have only gone to him so far (just started brewing in April). He is nice enough...just sometimes I felt like if I wasn't doing it his way..I was wrong. I guess it is time to expand the horizons.

My SWMBO is awesome, but if I posted an ad like that and she found out...dang.

 

[Fingers]

About a year or so ago, before I'd ever really tried brewing, my SWMBO said to me, 'Dan, you should Google "kegerator". You might want to try something like that. '

I wouldn't trade that woman for anything. :rockin:

 

[Bedlam]

All right, how 'bout one for my hubby? Except I think he'd be a motorcycle:

1961 BMW R80ST, two-cylinder air cooled engine--simple yet durable and isn't picky about what roads it will ride. Tires tend to grip any kind of pavement. Has high mileage and 100+ previous owners (estimated). Wandering headlight, but much more reliable since the last tune-up. Wonderful support system. Drips a bit of oil and has frequent noxious emissions. Some valve clatter that is worse at high revs. Engine has moderate torque but phenomenal staying power. A few drops have resulted in some dents in the tank, but otherwise a fine-looking machine that is always ready to ride.

I will be celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary next month. I won't suggest I've come to understand either women or marriage -- in general or specific to me -- during that time . . . but if the advice of someone who has maintained a great relationship with a woman for a long time is worth anything:

Walk away from the keyboard. Lift your hands, wrap one around a homebrew, and drink in remembrance of rohanski who, of course, is lost to us. He was a good man -- foolish, but good.

Having only been married just over a year I don't even come close to your experience rickylr however if i have learned one thing that one thing is 'always have a sense of humor.
Having a few beers helps too!

+1 always something good on tap too.

Free to good home. Needs some work. I thought this would be a fun project but it turns out I didn't have time or budget for such an undertaking. Will deliver within 75 miles.

 

[beergears]

I see a lot of ads here with "recent tune up..."

Are they done by certified mechanics or the shade-tree kind??

Sometimes you get something with weak or no spark, and it's wicked finicky about the kind of gas you put in...

You forgot to add: "Your gain, my loss"

 

[Baldy_Beer_Brewery]

But that would be false advertising.

 

[sirsloop]

So what does it take to get a test drive??

Nah. Can't you tell he is done with it..?

Just give him a fair price for the condition, throw in a 6-pack, shake hands, done!

You can always fix it with a hop-up kit. Have fun with it for while and sell it to the paper boy down the street!

 

[sirsloop]

I can't buy it unless I can at least lift up the hood
