ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
Whisky, wine, spirits are good. Never got into beer.
Troy, Tom and Deacon, I'm glad to see you don't give in to peer pressure, drink whatever you like. Water, tea or something from a cow, it's all good.
@RhB Michael Beer just isn’t woven into the American way of life like it is in Germany, which is exactly why you won’t find a pint next to your Egg McMuffin at a U.S. McDonald’s; unlike in Germany, where that’s just another balanced breakfast.
Bier in Germany is like coffee here.
The Abv is about where it should be for the type. I'd try that if I could find it. Does it taste like Spaten lager or Spaten Festbier?
I'm not sure how to find just an independent researcher?

Beer! I’ll start by saying I am a very light weight when it comes to any alcohol. I just never acquired the taste. I now can handle a New Glarius Spotted Cow but most of u true beer drinkers would say it’s just favored water. Maybe because my 1st beer was a Schiltz in Milwaukee. I started out wrong but no matter I hated that Schlitz.

Teetotaler here, and no longer doing my own oil changes. Even though my Owner's Manual says 7,000 miles, I still do it at 5,000 with the new synthetics. I'm old school and used to use the 3,00 mile mark. When I was working my 4 wheel office would run 4-6,000 miles a month and get LOF at 3.000. Got a call from Springfield once about getting two il changes a month on my car and I asked him how many miles were on it. When he replied there were over 250,000 miles on it, I told him that's why it had that many miles. He said good point and I never heard another word on it.

Think of the money that you saved. I had AI do the math. If I had invested all of the money that I spent on beer over the last 56 years, into an S&P index fund beginning in 1970, it would be worth $6,250,000 today. So technically I am a millionaire. A more expensive hobby than model trains.

I know, i was teasing you.
If you say that is beer I believe you.
Nothing wrong with that.

Take the trip if you want a trip but can’t you find a researcher locally to the library you can pay to make acceptable copies of the material you need?

You mean the sewer or your septic system is the millionaire.

This is pretty early for Oktoberfest beer, but it is really good. I bought a 6 pack yesterday to try it out. Reminds me of Spaten.Of course they do! They're German descendants.

Good afternoon gang!
What was going on with the forum yesterday? Seems like every time I try to log on it. Other ideas. Even when I went to like a post sometimes it would take two or three depressions of like button even get it to work.
Sitting here this afternoon, watching the dogs lounge on the couch while I watch tombstone and the leg feels slightly better each day.
On the car oil thing, after over 40 years in the GM camp, I do my own every 5000 miles, full synthetic. I’ve seen too many others that goes 7 to 10,000 miles. They’re absolute sledge factories inside. I did have to replace and intake manifold gasket on an oldsmobile I had at 200,000 miles. Engine was super clean inside just a light gold coloring to all the aluminum but no sludge. I am also a huge proponent of using factory filters. Either oil air cabin, whatever. I won’t touch a Fram filter, even if you gave it to me. Sorry, but I read the consumer reports write up and they’re actually the worst filter on the market..

there is one accredited genealogist in the area, and she's booked through november. The Mennonite Archives page has a polite notice that translates into "If you want us to look something up, do research, or such... piss off!" Well, not really. But it's clear that a LOT of people want to be Canadians. So the staff is all in on digitizing their records.

For the beer drinkers. This from 4 days ago..............
Divers discovered a 162-year-old bottle of Guinness in the wreckage of the Mindora, a ship that sank off the coast of Dover in 1864. The bottle, labeled "Guinness Extra Stout London," was found by Belgian underwater photographer Stefan Panis and is believed to be part of a larger crate of up to 20 preserved bottles.
Samples have been sent to microbiologists at KU Leuven University in Belgium as part of "Project Jurassic Beer." Scientists are attempting to extract surviving yeast DNA to recreate the original 1864 recipe, potentially offering a taste of the Victorian-era stout. Panis suggests the beer may still be drinkable if the seal remained intact, though no consumption has been confirmed.
Bottoms up my friends.......

I don’t know. Try local forums or groups one groups for that area? Or for genealogy?
