Jorian gets the beer!



I'll be in Vancouver in the near future so rest assured of payment in full. However, because you didn't play by the rules (no pic) I get to choose the beer.

Yes. Nelson, home to artists, draft dodgers, doctors, dead heads, hippies of all kinds, pretty much one of the most eclectic groups I've seen. It was a fun place to spend some time. I got to experience my first Asbsynth (watered down I'm sure) there.

Here was our drive up. I sweat through my clothing.



Bonus shot (GreyGoose!) for naming the ski hill. (Not Whitewater) I'm the goofy guy on the right. The happy camper in the middle is from Vancouver and the guy on the left works for me.

Taken from the rear deck of our house. San Marcos services were practicing search and rescue most of the day. The Chopper was ~ 500 ft from our home.

We visited my buddy who pilots private jets at his hanger in Santa Ynez. Very nice Citroën 2CV and a Cub. That plus a bevy of motorcycles, 65 Ford Shelby GT, twin turbo RX-7, and a cool apartment all in his hanger. Some of the benefits of staying single all your life...

He sounds like a real life Dirk Pitt.

"When Dirk Pitt is not traveling, which he is doing most of the time, he lives in his unique home - a remodeled and refurbished hangar on the grounds of Washington National Airport, near Washington, D.C.. A cast-iron stairway leads into an cluttered apartment with maps of the sea and models of ships scattered all about. The hangar houses his classic car/antique car collection, as well as a Messerschmitt Me 262 aircraft,a Pullman railroad dining car, a totem pole and an ironcast bathtub with an outboard motor sticking out the back. The hangar also contains items collected from prior adventures, and is protected by a state-of-the-art security system."

The Mother of all timing (7 ft long) belts. An 8 hour PM project. Done in one day. With a bad back. Ouch.
