  1. 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!

    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!

    I will have to disagree with you on that, Mark. Canadian beer rocks the world. Belgian beer
    comes close...

    I assumed our bus-driving friend was refering to lager. Maybe it's an export thing, but Aussie
    lagers are just [censored] water, IME. Not that English lagers are much better, you understand.

    Help me remember that Aussie beer I I had last year. It was a Stout. It had a
    mustard yellow label and it was good all 4 bucks a bottle good. It was winter, I
    was riding and in need of a beer. So I pulled into a package store found & paid
    for and went out and to the nearest lookout to drink it .

    Fire up MTB 03

    If you had said mustard yellow liquid then it could have been any number of American beers, but I
    can't help you there.

    haven't had the b@lls to pop the cork on one yet. if it is anything like 10 was, 750ml of an 11%
