Don't forget the Carlisle Raffle!

Thank you, Gordon!

By the way, we have a USB drive called “How to Run Carlisle- The Paperwork” and a lovely suitcase with the flags, raffle tickets and a whole ream of printer paper that we will be putting on the table. 

Just sayin’. 

Twice. We will put it there twice.

And, if it’s still there when the raffle’s over, we’re going to figure out where the frunk latch is in Chris’ 996, then hide it under some spare parts!

I have a few accessories to donate. Who do I send them to?...........West (Left) Coast Bruce

Bruce,

That is awesome!  You can send them to us if you like as we are already taking half my office, LOL.  I can PM you the mailing address. 

Done Deal !     I just sent Jeni Drake a set of my sun visors and one of my new front license plate holders. When you install this holder on your front bumper it allows you to remove and replace your lic. plate in seconds, thus allowing you to drive legally where ever you're going and then remove it so your car looks clean and simple while on display. It's water sealed and mechanically/magnetically secure. Here's a few photos. Retail value of these two items is close to $220.00.

Thanks to the Drake's for delivering them for your raffle at Carlisle. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. 

I'm looking forward to our West Coast Cruise next month........West Coast Bruce

I STILL HAVE A WORKING USERNAME HERE, @Cory Drake!

I'm also working on a few raffle additions.  By the way, what this really means is I have a rough idea, and I'm trying to bribe my wife into firing up her various craft machines that I cannot for the life of me figure out how the hell they work because they probably work using the same black voodoo magic carburetors do, to execute said rough idea.

Should work out stellar.

We always bring an item or two or three. I've got them all together and in the car already.....

Bringing a couple of bottles of locally distilled bourbon, one for us to drink and one for the raffle.  Two different types, neither of which I’ve tried.  I’ll flip a coin to see which goes where.

i didn’t realize just how many liquor distilleries we have for bourbon, gin, vodka, and other spirits.

Now to get something for Toys for Tots.

We will be importing beer brewed by The Big Timber Brewing Company here in Elkins, West Virginia.     https://www.bigtimberbrewing.com/

Got it!!

I have acquired a sampling of local favorites from The Brewer's Art. I used to live a block away from this joint and miss the hell out of it. They specialize in Belgian style Trappist dubbel and tripel ales. Think malts, not hops.

I'm pretty sure we'd get along just fine, Ed.

Beer (IMHO) is always better to me when it tastes like somebody was in love with malt, and leaves you feeling like you ate a loaf of bread after a growler. I'm 100% off carbs right now (blood sugar deal), but the hyper-hoppy IPA all the kids rave about tastes like pure swill to me anyhow. 

Mega hops are overdone in this age. I've always liked a classic IPA though, like Ballantine believe it or not. We used to get drunk and try to decipher the riddles on the underside of the bottle caps.

Anything with a good balance(hops/malt/alcohol level) under 8% is usually OK with me. 

I enjoy ANY GOOD beer though. Have you guys ever tried Ommegang? Trappist ales made in Cooperstown, NY(same town as Baseball Hall of Fame). They are most excellent. So good, in fact, that the Belgians(Duvel I think) bought them out and raised the prices. I used to get a large bottle(32 oz.) for $3.50 in the grocery. Now they're hovering around 10 bucks.

From beermenu.com:

"First introduced in America in the late 1800’s Ballantine IPA was a beer for connoisseurs. It has been credited as an inspirational influence for the present day craft beer revolution in America. Handcrafted by our master brewers, this delightfully hoppy brew resurrects its deep heritage and storied past to embody an IPA worthy of the original Ballantine name. For well over a century the interlocking Borromeran Rings showcased on our label have come to signify Purity, Body, & Flavor, just like the delicious Ballantine IPAinside. We hope you enjoy it."
