FJR Tech Day XIII

[BikerGeek99]

Allen - I'll grab some Bel Ray 5W for you and Griff. I'll prolly do that today during lunch. We can grab some coolant when y'all get here.

As for beer - if you have room for a six-pack of something from a place that's local to you and not available here, that'd be great. I'm a fan of the dark beers - stouts and porters - but, generally speaking, we like pretty much everything except sours. Not a huge fan of the sour beers.

I added some light fixtures in the garage yesterday, so it'll be less of a cave in there.

Sorry - no beer from SC. I will have been on the road for three days before I get there. Moonshine?

Sure! Joe can hold it for us.

How's about a Belgian Quad? Ever had a Westy 12?

Hmm... Can't say that I have...

I like Belgians...

One of my favorites...

Not to derail, but it was once rated as the #1 beer in the world by Beer Advocate. And it just so happens I have one left.....

Beer and Tech Day go together like peas and carrots. JSNS...

I looked it up on Untappd - time to search around to find it.

ETA - scratch that. Sounds like you are lucky to have a bottle!

Second ETA: this reminds me, Joe - since you like Belgian style so much, there is a small brewery aboot 30 minutes from the house and all they brew are Belgian-style beers. Every one that I had was excellent. And, Joe, assuming you come to Tech Day and come down 71 to 36, Stass is just a block or so off of 36 in Delaware, which you pass through anyway on 36. https://www.staasbrewing.com/

We haven't been there in a while. I just may need to head over there and grab some growlers for Tech Day. Because, you know - Tech Day.

I have two spare valve cover gaskets. No one needs to buy one...

 

[El Toro Joe]

If I remember, I'll bring my growler with me, and stop to get it filled.

I just clicked on that link. They have cask beer! I may get sidetracked on my way to tech day...

 

[Tommy Kay]

I just read over their beer list too. I think I may have to do a day trip for some tasty fresh IPA's. I never thought I would say this but... I am bringing my growler too.

Since we're talking beer...

In Columbus, there are a couple of places called The Daily Growler - they have 59 craft beers on tap, plus their own root beer. One location is in Upper Arlington, the other is in Powell.

https://www.thedailygrowler.com/

Newly opened in Marysville, we have a place called The Half Pint. 50 beers on tap and high-end burgers. The Half Pint is associated with a place called The Pint Room, one of which is in Dublin, and has 100 beers on tap and high-end burgers.

https://www.thehalfpintmarysville.com/

On the NW side of Columbus, there is a little carry-out that has aboot 500 craft beers. It's called the Kenny Road Market. It's down the road from where we used to live. I imagine their sales have gone down since we moved.

Anyway, back to Tech Day.

Griff - I have your fork erl.

Allen - I'll get yours before Tech Day. Do you want 5W?

Did you get rid of that toy compressor? Do we have anything that will handle a impact gun?

I've always liked Belgians as well. Their names were Ingrid and Ursula.

Nope. Right now, I still just have the little one.

Are we going to need an impact gun? I've had my eye on a bigger compressor anyway and I may just only need an excuse...

 

[PhilJet09]

Disregard - I'm a month ahead for some reason.

 

[El Toro Joe]

I see that Staas Brewing does not open till 3:00 pm on Saturdays.

Yep. The owners still work for a living and opened the brewery as a side gig.

We don't NEED a real compressor, but you NEED a better bicycle pump. Wait till you get one on sale.......

This one is cheap, reasonable airflow and don't have to rewire the house to 220. Likely all you'll ever need.

I like that it's oil lubed, they're quieter.
