The Stainless theory on beers...

Dark beers usually have lots of flavor.... just saying...

Now I have had some very tasty light ales and lagers, so don't get me wrong, I do venture there as well.  But I really like the darker hues.... and the new big thing in micro seems to be aging in used barrels... both of my locals do... and that really adds those layers 
Now back to your regular programming... how's that MOWOG tranny install thing coming along 

Not that anybody cares, but in my youth (21+.....) I spent a lot of time digesting Hamm's (my Dad's choice for beer) Stroh's (my uncle's choice) and sampled whatever my great uncles were drinking. (Bud/PBR/Schiltz and......  wait for it......Blatz.......)  Yeah I know, but I was young.....       My more worldly (?) friends got me started on a Coors kick for a while.   But once I started hanging around with Brit, Aussie and Kiwi race car mechanics & engineers, the gloves came off and a whole new WORLD of brewing possibilities opened up.  Ie:  Newcastle Brown Ale, Foster's Lager, Henninger Doppelbock, Guiness Draught, etc, etc.   Then my sister-in-law married a nice German guy and I got introduced to Weissbier, Kolsch, Dunkler Bock, Munich Dunkel.....und......Marzen (Octoberfest)

Let's just say my transformation to the "dark side" was complete...........

I find, as do you Bob, more taste and body in the darker beers.  That is not to say I don't have favorites among among the lighter side/lighter colored brews, but I tend to enjoy those with more taste & body.   But the bottom line for me is:   As an engine guy, I'm drawn to the stuff that has the color of used motor oil with the smooth finish of a European Dark Lager, an Oatmeal Stout or an American Porter.    So much the better if it has spent some time in a barrel......

BTW: Mrs. Fordboy is a brunette.............hmmmmm...........

I've noticed a trend towards the darker beers as guys get older.  I wonder if that will happen to me .......................... when I grow up?

Looks like my basement after band practice.

Well, I've been busy this afternoon -



This city looks absolutely gorgeous under a blanket of snow, the HP Sodium street lights fondly bringing back memories of Frank Zappa. 

 

I'll be heading out again about 9:00 tonight to give it another go.

While I'm waiting, I'll hook up my drill to the transmission and give it a spin.

We're supposed to get a dash of the white stuff in my part of the world this evening. Luckily I'll be in the nice warm shop! Keep up the good work Midget!

Lots of yellow snow but no Huskies!!!

Usually Peter Jack handles the snow dogs.

I took my 1/2 inch drill and hooked it up to the input shaft of the transmission, clicked it on and ran it for about 15 minuets, switching back and forth between the gears.

Seems to work at 1/3 HP.  Guess I'll know for sure when I bolt it back to the engine and double that figure . . .

Actually my dog's a little depressed. We're having a bout of relatively warm weather and the snow's disappearing. He prefers that the weather be about -40 with heavy snow. Now he's looking for bits of snow to roll in.

Minuets?, there's no end to your artfulness....

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minuet.

A minuet, also spelled menuet, is a social dance of French origin for two people, usually in 3/4 time. The word was adapted from Italian minuetto and French menuet, and may have been from French menu meaning slender, small, referring to the very small steps, or from the early 17th-century popular group dances called branle à mener or amener.

The term also describes the musical form which accompanied the dance, and subsequently developed more fully, often with a longer structure called the minuet and trio.

I have been dancing, mine though has been more the modern interpretive/expressive dance where I run around in random sized circles with my hands in the air shrieking..... I call it "The Thrash"

Good thing to know you tested it at twice the projected horsepower!

That's because most of the posters freely admit going over to the "dark side".............

How do you quiet a guitar player?  Put some sheet music in front of him.

Yeah – I missed that one – perhaps my subdominant affinity to the tonic?

Either way, I'll get this resolved.

Vivace Scherzo, Sunshine Sextet. PRESTO!

One of these days I'm going to print out this section of the thread and give it to a normal person to read.

The following day you can expect the dudes with the straightjacket to be knocking.
