got a warning that my Hard Drive was full, at SWMBO's suggestion I went out and got an internal CD burner to back up a bunch of stuff, before clenaing it out. Somehow, I fried the motherboard and hard-drive. went to return the CD Burner to B&stBuy and found an "Open Item" (display model) 1.3GigHz PC w/ 40Gig hard drive and CDR/W-DVD for $249. When one door closes another one opens. Now I just need a real JOB! Spent last week filling in for one of my mechanics at the shop. That was really cool..... I did a few timing belts, an oil pump, a head gasket, and all sorts of groovy volvo repairs. They were so impressed they even gave me my own key, so I can use the shop any time I want now. Riding? Jut riding the trainer It hasn't gotten above 20°F for over two weeks now. Some days it never got above 0°!!!!! BUT, on a positive note, Harpoon has released their Winter Ale.... MOST YUMMY indeed! |

Because both contain cat piss... If THAT'S the case, I'm going to stop putting kitty litter in my cat's box and just drain it into my beer mug. Aussie beer is second only to English beer IMHO. Unfortunately, most American beer just doesn't measure up (except to VB, Victoria Bitters, which is apparently the most popular beer in Oz and a poor replacement for Budweiser - go figure).

Yer all (both) wrong - _Home Brew_ - that's where it's at I tells ya. Had some gorgeous H/B wines a couple of weeks ago an '87 plum wine, and an '86 blackberry! Bloody gorgeous! Can't wait to try the 1980 orange brandy - bet that's gorgeous! Shaun aRe |

I will have to disagree with you on that, Mark. Canadian beer rocks the world. Belgian beer comes close... :-) - CA-G Canadian Girls Kick Ass! |
