[TR] off topic due to winter

[dave n]

since we clearly need something to talk about (oh, wait, I meant something 
about which to talk), and you mentioned fitting only one car in, thought I'd 
mention that I have a more or less standard garage, and I have found that I 
can put one sideways across the back (on skates) and three wide in front! 
of course, they are literally inches apart.  I push them in to ensure they 
don't touch.

and I'll order a pint!

This post is in reply to those members who share their home brew during
various Triumph get togethers during the year.

I have finally taken the plunge and brewed my own beer/ale.

In order to learn the "craft", I decided to buy a kit from a local
beer/wine supply store.

Since I always liked the British Bitters I had in England back in the
early 80's, I tried Coopers British Bitters.

Well I have to say it turned out pretty good.

It is a bit darker than the John Courage Bitters I had in England, it
does taste pretty good.

A strong hoppy flavor but not to "heavy".

My next batch will be an American Pale Ale brewed from scratch using
some of my home grown Cascade hops I grew this summer.

Now I will have to get to one of those Triumph get togethers so I can
share my beer/ale with others.

My first crop of hops yielded about 2 oz. I am hoping for a better crop
next year.

As far as Triumphs are concerned, I removed the battery from the 6 last
Saturday. The 3 and 4 have been sleeping since August since it was the
6's turn. My garage only allows one car to be used at a time. (Triumph
content).

Here is hoping for a short warmer Winter.
