Sitting here with a Molson Ice and a side of single malt wondering..... What the He11 is Beer cross?
I'm also thinking it sounds like something I should look into 😉

Had a full day of shoveling, Jeeping, playing "Let's run dad over with the sled" with the kids.

Great day. It would have been even BETTER if I could ride in the snow.

Good, then Habanero's phones are working. I'm waiting for the same phone call, different reason. Mr.
Hickey and I have speced up a new Ti road bike for my lovely wife, Xmas present and all. Now, I
don't have a road bike you understand, so perhaps I'll have to get disk's for the old mountain bike
come spring 🙂 and then maybe a road bike.

Put on an old pair of Spinergy Rev Rox?

Mike

Not bad, not a bad idea at all...

They suck as wheels, maybe they'll serve a better purpose as a rather large cigar cutter.

Aye, it's one of Johns more inspired passtimes. I mean, we've all ridden to a pub, or had a beer
right after (or during) a ride, but who else can say they had a super-flash-cool Ti bike custom
made for the purpose eh?

That's _class_.

I'm wondering if it's proper to open a bottle of Fat Tire Ale with a 'cross bike though... if not, I
suspect John will be ordering another "opener" soon. ;-)

Of course it's 'proper' - when it comes to beer openin', ya uses what ya brung.

Phillistine!

I just hope John doesn't take up drinking wine - I might have liability issues if I build him
another frame with a corkscrew hangin' off it (unless of course he prefers the type with bottle caps
or twist-offs). ;-)

The head of The Times Wine Society is advocating the use of screw tops - apparenly it prevents
'corking' and makes for a better bottle of wine. Soon we'll all be drinking from screw-tops. Apart
from France...

The composite corks work just fine. Screw tops just seem _cheap_ somehow.......

Seem cheap, yes, I agree. But attitudes are changing, and quickly too. Several top restaurants in
London are now stocking posh screw tops, although it's not clear whether you have to drink straight
from the bottle or not ;^)

I just don't see what the problem is with the new style corks - trying to weigh up if it's an easier
process to wrap press the caps or push fit the corks........

Too busy using them for the fizzy alcofrol, like what they are supposed to be for - duh!

I _have_ to drink it out the bottle because I have no 'class'.
