richieb Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 } Fosters, brewed in Britain. Far more consumption there than “downunder” — Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I've posted this before, but if you see this in a store and have a chance to try it, it's a great beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we're all from the era when we had to puncture the oil can with that stainless spout to get it into the crankcase. Fosters can did look similar. Gas went up to 90 cents a gallon right after I bought that pretty 12mpg big block Charger. Bet it could have got 15 in town, but not the way I drove at 16! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Kept a church key in the glove box for those cans, and um, other cans/bottles just in case. A spout? Oh the luxury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 $1.29 at the K-mart wasn't a luxury for me! I cut grass for $5 a yard and made $2.29 ? an hour at the Chick-fil-A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 well ... at least there's no cob webs in the coffee pot where's Chuck? Off on a cruise or something? University of Arizona changed their brand from U of A to UArizona. All fine and dandy except it makes for a clumsy chant 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early planning stage for enlarging the media room at LF's place so I can bring one of my systems here rather than driving to my place to play tunes. Watching a youtube series by the guy from PS Audio as he builds a new listening room. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 As long as you're making good use/having fun with your time Smells moist this AM. Drinking transition coffee. Not enough of one to make a pot. So we add some new to make up the difference. No kid this AM. Or last night. Seems quiet. we got a fertilizer delivery the other day. The cows are in town and dropped a load in front of the house. They do weed control. Graze vacant and unfenced property [the park] in addition to easement.. You can opt out. No permit for fences required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I have stories.... at one ranch, they dropped a load of cows that weren't familiar with the area.... they stood in the road for 2 weeks. After the first 5 encounters, you learned to expect them. I learned how to persuade cows to move out of your way. This is gonna sound dangerous/stupid.... gently nudge them with your car. They won't notice anything less. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Sounds like going through the tunnel to get to the airport in Boston. In-laws kept a beater-car for that, but others in their very nice automobiles would play real-life bumper cars for position in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
