I just finished of 5 gallons of Stout and 5 of Hefe. OK, I do have a few stashes but less than 3 22oz.

I'll make beer for the reunion... it should last an hour though knowing this crowd.

So what time are we meeting at Original Sams? Flagher just took off to Lost Hills but he should be back in an hour or so... and Frank just got back from Radio Shack and should be finished wiring the Slug in about 4 hours.

You should BBQ us some chicken in the dark while Damon gets a BJ from that freaky girl Jen on the other side of the car while we all play darts. All right, all right.  Grin

the wiring harness of The Slug, now there's a story. We both were working at Buggy House at the time, and each got a weekday and Sundays off. At this time we were gung ho about building this ridiculous street legal sand buggy thing we bought for $500, so each weekday we had free was spent working on getting the thing running. We built an 1835 Kadron motor for next to nothing, did some other junk to the rail... and Frank said he'd do the wiring. I remember going to work, and our boss, Jerry, asking me "what the f**k is that kid gonna try to do today to that piece of sh*t?" So i told him "the wiring." Boy did Jerry get a kick out of that. Later, when I got off work, I went by Sheep's place to see how he was coming along... and found it wasn't quite as bad as speaker wire as Crofty describes, but..... he had used one color wire for everything, and worse yet, one gauge... 16g. Yeah, from the B+ terminal off the AL82 alternator straight to the positive battery post was 16g. I about fell over.... dude, WTF are you trying to do.... make a HEATER?   Shocked
