ECC will take place Sept 15th in Frederick MD.

http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/rleonardccemtp@hotmail.com/ECC2007

The evite is to help us identify how many people will be there, so we can get all the food and drinks and chairs needed. Sign up and let us know.

Matt has said that setting up a blanket to sell parts on is OK. But, he asks that the amount of parts that you bring to sell be able to fit in a 914. IE, don't load up your f-250 with parts to sell. Matt does not want his back yard to turn into the Hershey Swap Meet.

The event will be held at Plas76targa's home.
The address is:
7188 Meadowbrooke Drive
Frederick, MD 21702
You can show up as early as noon.
There is a pool, bring a suit and towel.
There will be a drive with Photo-ops at 4.
There will be crash space for those who can't safely drive home afterwards.
Matt has suggested that any of you "planning" to not be able to drive home safely, to bring a tent, as floor space may be limited. Camp out on the back 50!

I would have to ask my wife about it, but I might have the space to host, either at my place in York PA, or at Potapsco State Park in Baltimore MD.

Having it in Altlanta would be awesome, but I doubt we would be able to draw many of the Northerners. The same goes for having up North for the southern folks. Northern VA to Southern PA is about equidistant to everyone, and we have a fairly large owner comunity.

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jun 8 2007, 12:20 PM

I sent an email to Kerry off the boards to sound out his feelings on ECC 2007. I'll see if he gets back to me, and will report in on what his interest level is.

I was thinking of offering our new place. before you all get excited let me run it by The One Who Rules. What time frame did we hold this last year?

I have a contact just south of VA Beach, near the North Carolina Border. It's 6 hours from Eastern PA and about 7 from Atlanta.

Or....Zach and Matt, we could hook up and try to nail down Patapsco.

Let me know,

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jun 8 2007, 05:08 PM

I chatted with Kerry. He is fallout from the December Divorce, but is will to help however he can to get ECC2007 back on track. I will volenteer to help plan it, but I am going to be buried in school work most of the time, so I won't be able to take charge. My MBA, plus sitting for my PMP in august plus work is going to have me it to be tied.

ECC will draw about 30 - 50 914s and assorted other vehicles if it is held in the Mid-Atlantic. I think it is the Mckeldon Shelter at Patapsco Park can hold near 200 cars, has spaces for grilling, open grass, some volleyball courts and a large pavilion shelter. No camping, though - and we would need to clean up before we left. There is a fee to use it, $200 if memory serves. If people are interested, I will look into it further.

At my place in York, we can put 50 914s in so long as the owners don't mind parking on the lawn. I have yet to clear with my wife, so it is NOT a definate location - yet at least.

So, cliffs notes:
1)Kerry will help, but will not lead
2)I will help, but will not lead
3)Someone need to step up to lead
4)Possible Locations in PA, RI, MD, VA and GA. Best locations will be in the Central PA - northern VA area.

I will be out in the woods all weekend, and will check back in on monday.

Lets make this HAPPEN!

I says we all commandeer Zach's place whether he likes it or not. The hell with any rules. We aren't 911 weenies, we don need to get no womens approval. Take back yer manhoods and stand up ! Stand up against the tyranny of the vageen. Stand up for what is right and just in the world. Be men. Be leaders. Be firm in your stance, put your foot down and say "NAY women Ye shall bide by MY rules now! Your days of rule are gone and my brethren WILL be here and you WILL NOT cause any disturbances, nor shall ye hold me by the sack afterwards, for I am MAN and I know what is best for you and I. Now GO women, GO and make me some pancakes. Be ye prepared to make MANY pancakes for there WILL be an onslaught of my compatriats on our lawn. Make pancakes, and cool beer NOW woman, and perhaps....just perhaps I will satisfy your carnal desires tonight.....if I feel like it." and so it is and so it shall be

for those unable to attend the past 2 or has it been 3 ecc's - there were about 15-20 914 in attendance - cool : )

count me in regardless of location - i have two road worthy 914 to choose from as of this momment : )

Dammit, it is going to be the same weekend as this again this year:

http://www.allaircooledgathering.com/

Crap.

It is an all aircooled gathering (obviously), there is plenty of space for another 30-50 cars, there is camping the night before and is at a great venue (old german-american resort). Plus it is already being run by the central jersey VW society (no leaders needed). Unfortunately in Northern NJ it is a bit farther than the previous ECCs, but only 1.5 hours further than the one Kerry hosted at his house in PA.

Any interest in making it the "ECC" at least for this year? It would be cool to see a bunch of 914s on that lawn this year.

BUT, the new site sounds great. And, for what it's worth, hosting the event is a piece of cake, this is one truly great and truly gracious group of 914 owners!

Now, if Ace Mechanic can just get Babydoll runnin' right... she's got major TPS switch problems which turn her into a slow runnin' buckin' bronko. Once that's conquered, I'll/we'll be there for sure! Let me know if I can help in any way...

Okay, the first post has been updated with the address of the event!

Here it is again for those that feel the more the merrier:
7188 Meadowbrooke Drive
Frederick, MD 21702

MATT, YOU ROCK!

Looks like we could be getting a keg of something yummy as well.

The good Dr. Evil has agreed to make a donation of something or other to the event. I need to start pestering the other member-vendors to see if they would be so kind.

I'd like to be able to offer shirts as cool as the ones that were set up for the Atomic Ramble, but I fear that the compressed time schedule won't have them ready to be sold in time.

Posted by: rleonardccemtp Jun 28 2007, 03:52 PM

I have a fella who can get them done in time for us, provided we get him a design. He's a fellow firefighter and has offered to make them for cost!

I've emailed Kerry with several questions, one of which is about logos. We'll work from there.

Hey Rick,
What quality are the shirts going to be? What printing technique is he using? I only ask because I am gathering contacts to see who has the best cost and quality when I get the EvilWerks shirts done.

"Projects" permitting I'll bring the six. It's faster, attracts less visual attention & the LE is currently taking a year long bath so she can look pretty in Charolette next year . Seriously, I spent 6 hours, an entire roll of paper towels & 1/2 a bottle of fantastic on the engine compartment alone last week .

Well, I will be coming in my trusty Subaru, or maybe the Prius is Erin wants to come as well. In my dreams my car would be ready by September, but there just ain't no way.

but I did just spray the final coat of sandable primer on it. If I can sand the bitch over the weekend, I might just be able to make it green on July 4 and 5!

Then I would at least be able to start putting it all back together.

well absent anything presenting an issue.... put me down as an attendee.

may or may not have mine back on the road... need to chase an oil leak, exhaust leak and change out the clutch but all that has been side tracked with finishing the basement. so may end up driving the scoob.

besides, it might not be so damn humid round that time!!!!

O.K. , Who locally can be in charge of getting a Keg of that brown foamy stuff

They must be a highly respecded pillar of the comunity, Oh I forgot we all are.

Driving my 914 from N.W. Ohio doesn't bode well to bring a keg.

So If someone will take the responsibility of aquiring it,and making sure it is

there at the correct time and Temp. I'll buy it as my donation, I have know idea

as to price in that area. Sam Adams maybe????? And What size????? the

person who takes charge of that ,let me know the price and i will send a check or pay pal.

If Sam Adams isn't ok,then pick your favorite. Dave

P.S.

Also I need the name ans address of a ok motel close to the site,nothing fancy

just a place to sleep . Dave

Posted by: zymurgist Jun 29 2007, 05:41 AM

Wow Dave, that's really generous! Sam Adams rocks, or we also have fine Maryland and Pennsyltucky beers readily available too... Clipper City, Flying Dog (they recently bought the Frederick brewery), Appalachian Brewing, Troegs, Stoudts, Victory, oh yeah, I sample them all when I get the chance.

I'm the guy who started the whole keg tangent. I'm planning on brewing a batch specifically for the cookout... my kegs are only 5 gallons since I use Corny kegs (which used to be used for Coca-Cola before they switched to the aseptic bag system). Anyway, the current plan is to do a hoppy IPA and dry hop it in the keg for more of that hop aroma. I love the hops... they way they smell, the flavor they impart to my beers, the way they have sticky buds with crystals that look just like... well, you get the picture.

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 29 2007, 09:34 AM

We actually have a sizeable front lawn. You long distance folks could camp out overnight if you'd like. And there's carpeted floorspace in the basement too.

A Hampton Inn is 2 miles away as well.

Matt, can you contact that hotel near you and see if they're willing to cough up a good group rate for 10 or more rooms? If they need more "persuading" let me know.

I've got a source lined up for T-shirts, we can do heat transfer or embroidery. I'm trying to wait for Kerry, but we may need to create our own logo. Any graphic artists out there?

This batch had an OG of 1.060. If it ferments down to 1.016 (the last batch I made with these ingredients and a similar yeast) it should end up right around 6.0 percent ABV. I was thinking of boosting the OG with 2 pounds of corn sugar (since it's a hoppy beer it would probably mask the sugar flavor) but I decided instead to stick with a known good recipe rather than experimenting.

More official ECC info!

There is going to be an evite posted here and at all the other 914 boards we can think of. If you are going to come, please let us know via the evite so we can count heads, and make sure we have enough food and booze to feed you mongrels.

Teeners are welcome to start showing up to Matts place @ NOON.
Matt has a pool. Bring a suit.
No skinny dipping (JPB I am looking at you here )
At 4 there will be a teener drive, with several photo ops along the way.
Matt has crash space for all teeners who 1)refuse to go home or 2)are way to ****ed up to go home.

And here is a word from our host on address and directions:

Like I use to say to one of my employers who was tickeled pink for all the money I made him,"by golly, if nothing else, I'm entertaining!" There is nothing more entertaining than to see someone who laughs at every strupid thing one says just because they see dollar signs everytime you walk by. He even laughed when I asked him if it was okay for me to leave if I could doubly my salary. Needless to say, he didn't laugh anymore when I left the day he said I could leave which was the following Wednesday. Hell, he even made the date, "How about next Wednesday hahahah," while laughing.

I'm off to work on the car...

An email should've juAst gone out via Evite. If you get one, your on the list. If not, go back up and try again, or post your name and email address here and I'll put you up.l

So far, we have RSVP's for 32 people and as many as 18 cars!

Linear speech and talking "in the box" is so over rated. Like I say to many, no pride implied here, I understand you, all your dialects, even those you make repeat their sentences over and over again and this isn't even my freekin language! Damn Engs, their words and thier world domination.

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 25 2007, 11:50 AM

All this talk about pitching tents.. this post might be out of place, but Scotty B asked about hotels.. Here are the numbers to the three closest -

Hampton Inn, 2.2 miles ph 301-696-1565

Holiday Inn, 5 miles, ph 301-662-5141

Comfort Inn, 5 miles, ph 301-662-0281

Who mentioned drums? My son William has a starter set he might lend you- but you'll have to ask him nicely!

I'm not too concerned about the marraige test, Mike.. but I am starting to feel concern for my "new" neighbors..

BTW - we put the vomit comit to gether last week - only one drunken fool is allowed on the trampoline at any one time!

PM me if any one needs directions.

Posted by: rleonardccemtp Aug 25 2007, 01:34 PM

Wow, this is really stacking up nicely!

I have an extra tent I can bring.

Doc, I'll re-try that email thing individually; see if we can't dodge the spam filter.

early enough I,ll mosey over to the hosts house and add to the confusion. Starting to get pumped up, need to get a few cosmetic things done and install new ( to me ) exhaust system.

BTW I've also got an original 4-lug regular spare, original tire and all, anyone need one?

I ordered the shirts today, they assure me they'll be finished by Thursday the 13th! the art is a little flatter than what I posted, otherwise it came to 8-9 colors for the back panel and about $18/shirt. As it sits, we're at about $11.50/shirt.

I did put the doors back on it tonight. Wanted to get the panels on before I did the final paint incase I dinged it (which I did). All the panels are on the car now.

Course, the one of my indoor only cats got out, and ran up a really dense pine tree. I am cut up head to toe trying to climb after the damn cat at midnight.

Scotty... my father's house is in the west end.... near 295 and 64. IIRC you are coming from out powhattan way.... you could come 288 north to 64... then we could hook up somewhere around 288/64/295 (short pump area)..... zip out 295 and catch 95 north of town.

Thoughts, comments, testimonials?

Your ECC Brew Report...

I tapped the 5 gallon keg of Jackstand Pale Ale last night. Y'see, I have to do some quality checking to make absolutely sure that it's fit to drink.

It's pale, a bit cloudy, probably more balanced towards the maltiness rather than the hoppiness, but very quaffable. I'm going to crank up the CO2 a bit so it should be nice and fizzy by Saturday.

Great to hear it--thanks to Jim McL who alerted me-- we need other ways to spread the word--I would have missed it otherwise. HOW LATE in the day does it run??- couldn't find that anywhere?

ECC will take place Sept 15th in Frederick MD.

http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/rleonardccemtp@hotmail.com/ECC2007

The evite is to help us identify how many people will be there, so we can get all the food and drinks and chairs needed. Sign up and let us know.

Matt has said that setting up a blanket to sell parts on is OK. But, he asks that the amount of parts that you bring to sell be able to fit in a 914. IE, don't load up your f-250 with parts to sell. Matt does not want his back yard to turn into the Hershey Swap Meet.

The event will be held at Plas76targa's home.
The address is:
7188 Meadowbrooke Drive
Frederick, MD 21702
You can show up as early as noon.
There is a pool, bring a suit and towel.
There will be a drive with Photo-ops at 4.
There will be crash space for those who can't safely drive home afterwards.
Matt has suggested that any of you "planning" to not be able to drive home safely, to bring a tent, as floor space may be limited. Camp out on the back 50!

Unfortunately for all of you other attendees, I will be coming solo on this trip after all. My much better half won't be coming with me. She is in the middle of packing up her house to move into a new place and her daughter has a soccer game that day, too. Now I just need to get out of a semi-obligation Saturday morning so I can leave early with Jim Kelly.

Posted by: Spoke Sep 12 2007, 10:21 AM

Matt,

Is there a list of food/drink to bring? If nothing in particular is needed, I (yeah right, er, my wife) can make a taco dip but it would need to be microwaved if your wife will let us in the house.

Looks like it's still 914 weather.

Great to hear it--thanks to Jim McL who alerted me-- we need other ways to spread the word--I would have missed it otherwise. HOW LATE in the day does it run??- couldn't find that anywhere?
Also: did anyone figure out how to get the evite directions (very good ones) to print -I couldn't even copy to my wordpad!?

Matt,

Is there a list of food/drink to bring? If nothing in particular is needed, I (yeah right, er, my wife) can make a taco dip but it would need to be microwaved if your wife will let us in the house.

Looks like it's still 914 weather.

How about sticking it up on Dorkiphus-- my usual check-it-out for area drives and social events. Be sure to tell them that its a 914 event, mostly, or you'll get party-911 guys and '44s, etc.

vacca - where besides 914club and 914world - did you advertise this ??

i would say these two are enough as we all know each other well enough.

matt may not want a zillion people showing up at his house - our close group of 50 maybe the maximum crowd his neighbors can tolerate.

Attention ECC Planners/Organizers....

What's the current estimated head count for ECC07?

How many Guitars?
How many Amps?
How many Drum Sets?
How many Cow Bells?

How many Kegs?

How many Tents?



Oh I almost forgot... How many 914's?

Posted by: rleonardccemtp Sep 12 2007, 10:36 PM

Head count so far is 54!

A car count is difficult....between posts here and on the evite....at least 14 914's, 2 beetles and at least one 911.

I know someone who has a 20' x 40' foot canopy that I'm trying to borrow. He was out of town until this evening so I'll catch him tomorrow.

Guitars? Many are threatening....all are welcome. Amps? ! Watch the neighbors run for the hills!

2 Kegs, one from a commercial brewery and one homebrew - "Jackstand IPA"

I've got dibs on the tramp....oline!

O.K. , Who locally can be in charge of getting a Keg of that brown foamy stuff

They must be a highly respecded pillar of the comunity, Oh I forgot we all are.

Driving my 914 from N.W. Ohio doesn't bode well to bring a keg.

So If someone will take the responsibility of aquiring it,and making sure it is

there at the correct time and Temp. I'll buy it as my donation, I have know idea

as to price in that area. Sam Adams maybe????? And What size????? the

person who takes charge of that ,let me know the price and i will send a check or pay pal.

If Sam Adams isn't ok,then pick your favorite. Dave

P.S.

Also I need the name ans address of a ok motel close to the site,nothing fancy

just a place to sleep . Dave

Hey Bondo-floozy,
The rear trunk will not fit either Noel has soo much faith in my mekanikal abilities that she is opting to follow (try) in the VUE so the cargo problem is solved.
[/quote]

So let me see if I understand this. You're saying that just Noel thinks you could use a trailer car (loaded with party stuff, parts, and mostly tools). But you believe a trailer car ain't needed.

Man!.... I don't know how good yer kanicle skills are, ('cept I did see your tool bag once when you flashed it while working on a tranny!

I'd never turn down a trailer car dude! Especially one with a babe drivin' it!

Posted by: PinetreePorsche Sep 13 2007, 03:35 PM

ECC folks: I'll have a few items for sale-- esp. a muffler. A "glasspack" (as described by the former owner, who works at the local Midas Muffler), it's almost new. He used it at Summit Point a bit-- on a 2.0 with carbs. After I bought the car from him, it seemed way too loud for my street, so I got a Bursche, which is only a little too loud. This unit has dual muffler cans, with four chromed tips. Most of the paint is still there. Places that were hot long enough to disturb the paint have a little surface rust-- nothing more. Just hand wire-brush it off. I'd like $165 for it. If you have a track car and want easier breathing, this is the one to put on.
If you want to 'reserve' first refusal, pm me before the ECC. I'll have it in the trunk regardless, since I'll never use it on either of my cars. -Chris Hager in Falls Church, vA

What a freak'n great event I wish I could have stayed longer, but my wife is pregnant, and that pretty much trumps everything. So when she said it was time to go, it was time to go.

I can tell it was a great event though. We were there for 7 hours, and when we left it seemed like I had just got there. It started when Mike, Noel, Ray and his son all showed up at my place around 11:30. Immediatly Mike was going for tools to adjust Ray's shifter. We all caravaned down, me leading in the Subaru, Mike on the BMW /6, Noel and Erin in the Vue, and Ray and is son in the 914. We had ~50 people show, and about 15 914s, 2 912Es, 1 944, 1 T4 converted superbeetle, and 1 kicks ass sandrail (which I still want a ride in!). The party was still going strong at 8 when we kicked out.


So: some pics from the event! I did not get any of the group pics. I hope someone will post them, as I would like to see them.
The driveway:

We had a great time yesterday, and enjoyed the diversity of cars and the great people that came with them. The scenic drive went well for me and Keri, and I'm envious that I don't have that beautiful drive in my backyard.

I filled up with gas before we left town, and calculated my gas mileage at [b]40.339 mpg! We got home about 10 p.m. (without a hitch or glich) and I-95 traffic was heavy, but flowing well.

Thanks guys!

Ken- what was in that excellent beer? I'm still hung over! Nice to put faces to names. 17 Teeners showed, but no more than 15 @ one time. 1 944, 2 Bugs & 2 very nice 912Es. Lots of Brownies- I've never seen so many brown interiors. Must have been 5 there. Pics-

Nice to put some more faces and names together. To those of you who left early.....shame.........shame......shame on you

What a tremendous turnout!
We saw everything from concours to barely legal (street legal that is!).

As soon as I finish batch shrinking photos, I'll post 'em. It seems I took alot of pics of my car....I must be partial!

My personal favorites: Evan's red, the sandrail and the 1.8 GTI

Can't wait till next year!

Just got back into Charlotte from picking up the LE in VA Beach.

Here's some of the pics from ECC... will post more as soon as I can get some sleep.

Great meeting everyone.... and Matt, many thanks for opening up your home.

Posted by: plas76targa Sep 16 2007, 09:36 PM

YOU all are awesome. I had a great time as host and will be in debt to Katherine for a long time. She pulled off the hat trick by ordering the food and arranging it in all the garage, and cleaned it all up on Sunday.

Root - special thanks to you for reinstalling my fuel pump. Folks the car runs! So, Al (Johnny Blackstain), referencing your photo, that car is now nestled in the garage, next to it's younger brother - the 76 911s.

Wow, I can't believe it's over. A truely fun time had by all. Let's not wait until next year to gather - whether a few or many.

Oh yeah, Zach I believe you left a red foldup chair. Now that the car runs I could zip up to York to drop it off.

Any pictures of the 1.8T car?

Posted by: zymurgist Sep 17 2007, 06:45 AM

I'm glad y'all enjoyed the beer. It was a really simple one, really...

Mash-Tea:
1 lb. M20 crystal malt, steeped at 150 degrees for 30 minutes in 1.5 gallons water; collect the tea for the boil.

Full Wort Boil (using 8 gallon kettle and Cajun cooker):
7 lb. Muntons extra light dry malt extract
1 oz. Centennial leaf hops @ 9.8% - 60 min.
1 oz. Fuggles leaf hops @3.6% - 30 min.
1 tsp. Irish moss - 15 min.
1 oz. Fuggles leaf hops @ 3.6% - Flameout
Chill to 75 degrees before pitching yeast; add water as needed to make 5 gallons

Yeast:
1 packet Nottingham dry yeast, hydrated in 1 cup cooled boiled water

Ferment in primary for 4 days. Place 1 ounce Fuggles leaf hops in secondary and rack beer onto hops. Secondary time just under 6 weeks; rack to keg and force carbonate.

OG: 1.060
FG: 1.014
ABV: 6.1%

I use Muntons extra light for almost all extract batches any more. It never gives me a sour "extracty" taste. But I think the leaf hops really make it... almost all of my pale ales use leaf (rather than pellet) hops.

And of course the magic secret ingredient... all my beers are brewed with love.

Thanks to everyone for an unforgettable time. Matt and family, thanks so much for hosting this event, and also for giving me the honor of leading our cruise. As this was my first 914 event, that made it all the more memorable. Hope I didn't drive too slow for everyone, but we were trying to keep the group together (still lost a few!).

Ken, that was some killer homebrew. I'm going to try to make your recipe sometime.

Everybody was cool. I got some great ideas for my car. Can't wait until the next get-together!

It was a great event, too bad I had to be the first one to leave
Nice meeting a lot of new faces and seeing some really trick cars...seriously...I haven't see stuff like a 1.8T, 2.7 w/ crank-fire, a 3.2, rat-rod 305v8 and other assorted goodies in one place before...not to mention 2 mint condition 912Es, and a Beatle type IV transplant.

Great stuff, just VERY sad I couldn't sample the beer before I had to leave.

I'll stay longer next year, that's for sure!

Posted by: atomix8 Sep 17 2007, 11:58 AM

Matt thanks again for hosting, it was a great event. Sorry I couldn't stay longer to enjoy the food and the beer...but I did at least get to Pittsburgh by 9pm (plenty of time to drink much worse brew).

It was fantastic to see everything from almost stock to incredibly modified there!

Got a wave from a Ferrari F430 driver, a Lotus Elise driver and a Boxster S on the one hour drive back to Baltimore. In other words, purchase price justified .

Posted by: Spoke Sep 17 2007, 04:19 PM

Matt & Katherine,

Thanks for a great time. Thanks Zach for pulling this together. Hope we didn't piss off the neighbors with all the exotic cars. Here's the good doc at work.

I finished off the weekend with a good round of golf with my brother in Leesburg. On the 168 yard par 3 18th over water, I birdied the hole with a 40 foot putt...after putting 2 balls in the water.

Got an additional treat today of a trip around the tarmac at Dulles Airport. My bro's company was finishing concrete on the new terminal and he had to drop off a trailer full of equipment. At one point we were driving along the tarmac right beside a 737 taxi'ing to its gate. Didn't get to see any 747s but there was an Airbus A340 and a 777 parked.

Actually the turbo is in it's stock position on the side, and the intercooler sits to the back of the engine. All together it is too tall for the rain tray, more reason to go faster! The mission of this car is an auto-x toy 1st. I put all the steel panels, doors, and street seats back on for this road trip.

None of the engine area, at least that I took. it was parked under a tree, and the engine was very shaded. If I had shot it, it would have been too dark to see detail.

The rear trunk was removed, with a tube frame for support. The 1.8 engine is a TALL engine, and the engine bar was really close to the ground. 3-4 inches for ground clearance max. With the rain tray removed, he had a little more room to move the engine up, but they had measured height with the rain tray in. It looked like a really solid conversion, so long as you did not need your rear trunk.

The turbo sat out behind the engine, I don't think he was running an intercooler.

This was the car from the outside. Note all the folks checking out the engine.

Busy week here-- just got my first look at the photos. Good stuff, and a fine day we did have. Esp. thanks to the host, but also to all the longer distance drivers-- I had it easy, less than an hour. The drive up the mountain was a beauty-- glad I had my top off! And sorry I had to get on home, so missed the rest of the drive and the evening's shenanigans. A great tradition--let's keep it up. -Chris H.

Ha, I was just feelin it bro; usually play and sing with my eyes closed. Evil sang a very cool original song and we all felt it, that was a very cool moment, it flowed and we actually sounded pretty good. ScottyB actually made them trash cans sound musical, now thats was impressive. I think we could have played all night long with a little more beer. Notice the audience of one. Cool pics Mike!

than that caused by the 50 to 60 lbs i have put on since i first factured that

vertebrae. Mon. i start on my exercise program,( WALKING 2 MILES IN 1/2 HR)

I will work up to that. DO I feel better, Is a 500 lbs canary big?????

Thanks for your support! I actually had additional homebrew, but it was freshly bottled and it hadn't fully carbonated yet. I'm not too crazy about flat beer. Seems like those 9.5% Belgians take a little while to mature.

Fall is almost here, so it's cider time. I bought 5 gallons of fresh pressed cider from a local farm. It's UV sanitized (no heat) so it's very fresh and appley tasting. No heat = pectins aren't set, so it should ferment out very clear, just like last year. I got the cider from their fridge and poured it into a glass fermenter to let it warm up to room temperature... after several hours, I threw in some yeast nutrient and a packet of my favorite ale yeast. That should be done in a few weeks.

Oh yeah, also threw together an all-grain brown ale. I'm getting tired of having only "thick and heavy" beers on tap. This one is a lawnmower beer, and the preliminary samples (pre-fermentation) are spectacular... I'm thinking of having only session beers on tap and bottling the heavy, high-octane stuff. Unless it's a keg for a special event, of course!

I gotta practice with that cowbell...

Posted by: zymurgist Sep 24 2007, 11:44 AM

I'm thinking Oktoberfest at Babydoll's house... she needs some help that experienced 914 guys can knock out in an afternoon. I will bring some Belgian Tripel and my experimental Double IPA (not really hoppy enough to be a "real" double IPA, but tasty nonetheless), and perhaps something else if it's ready by then.

Posted by: Dr Evil Sep 24 2007, 12:19 PM

That would be awesome... she's shakin' like Katherine Hepburn, but she could certainly make it out there. I'm thinking most of the week-ends in the middle of October would work, for me at any rate... heck, this week-end is supposed to be LOVELY, how 'bout this Saturday (the 29th)? Scott G. is sending me a replacement, working TPS switch, I should have it any day now. Ken says I have timing problems, among other issues. Sigh. I could show up with either brownies or a batch o' chili, (bribe food, we call that), Ken could bring homemade beer, and we could have a good time, like we did last time we met at Root's. Of course, this is predicated upon the availability of the shop in Sterling... you really serious about this?

You guys are too cool, you know that, right?!?!
