Marlon, you're a man of my own heart. Homer and I have shared many Busch Lights together and I plan a reunion with him this very night. :mrgreen:

Here is to Ken, the man of the hour!

I am going to start by thanking you again Ken. A very nice gesture, and I still want to pay you for the mug.

I know the feeling of doing something good once in awhile. I got a screaming deal on a bulk buy of some Hitec servos a year and some back.

I managed to get 10 brand new top of line digital titanium brain crackin cranium sweet servos, about $30 a piece. Retail was about $80 to $150 per. I offered one to Gavin on Clodtalk (KingClod27) for a build he was doing.

He won a brand new Tekno buggy kit when they first came out, and I thought "What the hell", send him one. I could afford it, and the guys over on Clodtalk are top notch.

Anyway, to keep with the theme of the thread here are some of my favorite things. In no particular order. (I threw in Halgars Clod just cause I can, I hope he see's this. It is NOT one of my fav's :lol: )

The Losi truck is my first hobby grade RC, original everything on it. Body, tires, motor, and electronics. The hot peppers are something I do every summer, I try and out do myself from the previous summer.

Some are so hot, that a little sliver is eye watering. I winter the plants and trim them back in the fall and they seem to sprout every spring. Great times coming with some chilled mug beer and my new friend Homer! :roll: :lol:

Don't mention it Dave. Anyone with such fine taste in drink ware deserves that mug. I hope you share as many happy thoughts with yours as I do with mine. :D

Can you believe this topic fell to the second page... Near the bottom. What the... :roll: :lol:

I picked up some of the new Bud Crown, Nice for a beer that is a tad higher in alcohol content. Great colour and taste, But being at 6% I would only have a few to start with.

The obligatory shot of the mug of course, and some sliced purple jalapenos as a kick in the teeth (love the heat) washed down with the ice cold tasty Bud Crown.

Looks good. :mrgreen: Bud Black Crown is a great beer. A little crafty, but not too pretentious. 8)

I agree, not to pretenious for the first few. Careful after that.

Good flavor, nice finish. Anymore than 2-3 and it gets a little to rich.

That boot is awesome! 8) Reminiscent of BEERFEST. A must see IMHO. Just make sure to get the uncensored version or a lot of the best comedy will be cut out. I'm off the rest of the week. I have a distinct feeling that a beer or two will find their way to my liver. :mrgreen:

Quitter! :lol:

Had the day off so I broke out my somewhat new electric smoker. I've only used it about 6 times so far, but everything has turned out really well. I still love my firebox smokers, but this one is really convenient and predictable. It doesn't create nearly as much smoke as lump charcoal or wood, but still manages to infuse a lot of great slow-cooked flavor. Great day for a few of the finest Busch Lights that money can buy. :D

Not to mention it doesn't seem like such a waste of time for just one lonely ol' bird. :lol: Fell off the bone too. :mrgreen:

EDIT: Yuuummmmmmmm!!!!! looks great.

I bought a single beer tonight along with the standard Budweiser. I am not sure why I like Bud, but it tastes good after a few.

Here is a taste of something a little more casual at 4.2%. Very hoppy, not the best taste but palatable. Again, not something I would buy a six pack of.

Looks delicious! You are done with the Box O Wine?

I poured a Bud Crown, drank it and poured a second into the mug. The phone rang and it was warm half way through.

I cracked a regular Bud and mixed em, not bad at all! Some of the kick from the Crown, and smooth taste and volume of the regular Canadian Bud at 5%. Interesting mix.

I think volume is what is going to win out tonight. 8)

I got some JRX2 parts in the mail today, cleaning and organizing them now while the F1 qualifying is on in the background. Great friday night!!
