Where's WYK been, and what trouble is he making?

Hair's same color, but longer. Different house, different job, different cats. New girlfriend. Otherwise, mostly the same.

You know I owe you a debt, man. I wish you luck in everything you do.

Well, in a couple of weeks we'll see how it all turns out.
I've always wondered what life is like in one of those little cottages by the ocean along the Oregon coast...Coos Bay mebbe...Lincoln City...shrug.

I grew up in North Bend, right next to Coos Bay. was a wonderful place to be a kid. but alas things change. glad I left and didn't raise my children there. too many druggies and suicides. probably the norm now in a lot of places.

Blech...

It's easy to find a Doug Fir cone to chew on. Why so many IPAs?

They're in fashion. It'll pass.

 

[BeatCJ]

I'm OK with everybody having multiple IPAs, I just wish other things were available. I went someplace the other day, and it was domestic lagers or IPA. I had a Yuengling.

 

[madhatte]

Wish I could get Yuengling here. That's a beer that has never let me down. Practically lived off of it in my East Coast days.

 

[BeatCJ]

I agree, it's by far better than the national brands. I'm not sure there is anything equivalent out here.

They been in fashion the last twenty years!

 

[BeatCJ]

Well, I've had Kidney stones for 5, they keep passing, too.

The trend now is toward citrusy stuff, and sours. The days of me-too IPA dominance are numbered.

Ack! Hefeweissen!

Speaking of fruity, I just had a Husqvarna 136 handed over to me. It actually has 325 chain on it, bless it's heart. I removed the exhaust just to see if it could be modded, and the front came right off and the internal baffle slide right out. Easy peasy.
Bar is OK, but dirt cheap. Gonna replace that with a Tsumura L&T I have in storage, which should double the value of this thing
