Sierra Nevada’s heffeweizen, pours a cloudy medium light amber with moderate head that quickly dissapates. Label claims its the only American open fermentated heffe. Bright and fairly citrusy tone, with a nice spicyness that’s not as strong as say Hoegarten. Pretty crisp mouthfeel but still has a heffeweizen feel. Pretty good stuff!
3 out of 4 yeast monkeys.

Dang it, didn’t get to servco in time. They called this afternoon, their allotment of white manual FR-S’ sold out in less than 1.5 hours before I could get there. I suppose I could be different and do black seeing as how there’ll be a gaggle of white ones running around. Oh well, gives me a month to wait and get stuff like the front license mount.
Heard KORL 97.1 call sign jingle, it’s horrible. I guess since the station is locally owned, not a Japan entity, they didn’t have the connections to have someone in Japan do an appropriate jingle? It sounds like a bad American top 40 station jingle.
In retrospect I should have bought some of these for wayland.
>such amusement about town today. Also put my name in for Servco to call me when they get shipment of FR-S’ through customs, apparently it’s on the docks. Only the “tame” colors in this batch, white, black, or dark grey. I think it’s going to be white. Yes, maybe boring but I like it, I think the white looks good. It’s actually a bit pearl and seems to cost a little more. The black is nice, but I don’t want the maintenance.
Just spotted this, wonder who’s deal this is? Sorry bout pic quality, was breakin the law shooting off this pic real quick while stopped at light. It’s Mobile Maid Cafe.
If you missed them last time around, Usagiya, the originators of the two patty style dorayaki are back at Shirokiya. You can watch the expert ladling technique as they make your dorayaki for you on the spot. Get it while you can, they were downstairs and will be there for another week, until 11/4. They also are doing a pancake item, just the straight patties with a pat of whipped butter on the side. Syrup shouldn’t be neccesary since the batter is basically castella batter which is high in sweet already.
Reading todays paper, there was an article attributed to AP about a man trampled to death while trying to butcher a cow. The following quote sounds like the cows are taking up arms:
“In all, he said some 150 people were hospitalized in the Palestinian territory with knife wounds or other injuries caused by animals trying to break away.”
Damn kanucks, earthquake of shore of BC has triggered a tsunami warning for us and the sirens just went off. Two hours out and they’re advising leaving inundation zone.
It’s done, a disembodied zombie has bought the AE86. No actually he seems to be a nice guy, even if he does look like a zombie. He actually had a SR5 AE86 that he sold in order to pick this up. Hopefully he learns from Ed, the dude who kind of brokered this deal. Ed is a gear head and knows his stuff, this guy is still a kid and pretty wet behind the ears, but hopefully he will grow with this car. I think it’s awesome that he scraped together the money and I think this car is a great way to get started. He’s not some snot nosed unappreciative punk who’s parents bought him a “fully tuned” Evo or something. Build it to the car of your dreams, zombie boy, enjoy!
So I put up the AE86 “Hachiroku” Corolla up for sale. Put up signs in the window and took it to auto cross on Sunday. Have a taker already, will try meet up tonight, he said he’s got the money and if we can do the sale tomorrow. I drove it for work today and as I was driving it I was almost having twinges of regret! It was certainly fun to drive, the punishing rear suspension not withstanding. I love how the engine winds up and the quick gearing. It’s not fast but it does put a smile on the face. As I think more about it, the dude will be getting a hell of deal considering the work that’s gone into it. Mechanically it’s solid, rebuilt tranny, all new bearings, seals & synchros. Rebuilt rear end, again all new bearings, seals and the KAAZ 1.5 way LSD. All new polyurethane bushings. New front ball joints, tie rod ends. New P/S hoses. Full bling coilover suspension. I did pull the flywheel and clutch. I think I’ll go pull out the micro Momo steering wheel too. Anyway, I’m not going to back out of this, so if he shows me the money, it’s out of here! I sure hope he’s not some yahoo, he’s a friend of one of the auto-x & rally-x dudes who is cool, but you know how friends of friends can be, but once you let it go, gotta let it go!
