Willi, your other post with the link didn't show up on my news
server but I saw it from google.

Awesome collection! I really liked the addition of non-fish
pictures: wildlife, scenery, flowers, people smiling without
fish, etc. All those things make fishing that much better.

Take a break from reading ROFF, but don't forget to throw us
a bone occasionally with a trip report from your adventures...

Jon.

John,
I heartily agree John.

Will you make it to the Clave with Bruce and the rest?
A terrible thing happened. One of my cohorts from York, PA called to see if
I would make four site visits to a project in Durango this summer. I aked
how much that would cost me....
Will call when I get my traveling schedule.

I freely admit that's the *only* way I've ever been able
to drink a Rainier. And tomato juice couldn't possibly
do anything but improve an Old Milwaukee. ;-)

Ranier ale or beer? The ale was very good, back in the -60s.

What do you think of Schlitz?

vince

I drank it but can't remember the taste. Wasn't it similar to Olympia? Kind
of a burnt barley taste? Never did care much for Olympia (except for the
time we stopped at the brewery and did a little taste testing).
PSU? Portland State? Did you know Dr. Anthony who came to TX to run CCCC?

As a home wine and beer maker, I don't buy much beer and when I do,
it's almost always Chesterfield Ale or Yuengling Porter. So I don't
pay close attention to goings-on in the brewing industry, but I
thought Stroh's bought both Schlitz and Old Milwaukee quite a few
years ago.

The reason I asked the question is that even longer ago, when Uhleins
owned Schlitz, I knew a physician who worked with one of the Uhlein
"kids" who was a neurosurgeon at Mayo. My friend said he once asked
Doc Uhlein, "Say, what is the difference, anyway, between Schlitz and
Old Milwaukee?"

Uhlein looked him right in the eye and said, "The Price."

and have a bunch of stuff in the hopper to support my habit.

You might want to be a bit more discreet about saying things like that
in a public forum.

Or is that an ad?

Not an ad.
Another figure of speech.
Habit = fly fishing, rod building, fly tying, collecting related materials,
etc.

Actually, I once had about the first hundred lines of the Prologue committed

Okay, then there are two of you familiar with it. What's with the
line about every vein in such liquor that it turns to flour?

It occurred to me that it's Chaucerian English for flower, in which
case I can work it out, but if it's referring to people, I'm lost. I
am familiar with the olde tyme meaning of virtue. I liked it better
than the newfangled usage.

I try not to.

Reminds me of beer one doesn't want to think about.

Anyone remember Hamm's beer? I loved the ads, so when I decided to
have my first beer, I tried a Hamm's. Omigod. I didn't taste
anything that bad ever again until I bought a six pack of Billy Beer
and took it to a party for a joke.

Hamm's tasted like bad soda pop. It took me at least a year before I
was willing to try beer again. Very hot summer day. Okay, beer is
supposed to be good on a hot day. So I popped the cap on a bottle of
Grain Belt (also no longer around, I believe). That tasted the way I
thought beer should. Bitter and soothing at the same time. But it
made me realize that I'm not a beer drinker. Too bad. My limit is
about 4 to 6 ounces on an exceptionally hot day and I generally skip
that because that means the rest of the bottle or can will go to
waste.

Not really going anywhere else with this, as I've never tried a Bud
and the only micro beer I ever had was a really enjoyable pale ale
made by a now defunct local brewery. Also wondering if my just trying
a brand of beer makes it go away from the whole market. Nah. Can't
be. Many breweries have gone away over the decades. But I'll have to
remember never to try a Leinenkugels.

To music: " A Beer is a Beer, Is a beer, Is a beer, Is a beer...Untill
you've tasted Hamms!" Remember?

Bought some "Rattlesnake" beer made in Portland a few months ago. It's still
in Norm's fridge. Tastes like its fresh from Lone Star.

Old Milwaukee will have to take a back seat tonight. Michelob Ultra is on
tonights menu.

I like Chef Boyardee canned pasta, but I can't eat it anymore because I
have to watch my salt content because I have high blood pressure. All
canned pastas are high in salt (sodium) content.

What a disgusting thing to admit publicly. Its **** like this that will
destroy this country. What ever happened to the "don't ask=don't tell"
principle? The Pope is not even in the ground and it's started. Jeeezzzzzzz.
