"The Aussie's Meet the Okies"
Ha we posted right at the same time.
Oh yeah...a shout-out to Jeremy (RBack33) Thanks for the Fat Tyre!!I'm enjoying it now....even though CG just smacked me
for putting the condensating bottle on her dining room table without a coaster for the photo
Fat Tyre. Chimay glass.
Cityboy, we got to get you brewing!
Unfortunately, I am out of homebrew right now. But, I have a mini-keg of Sierra Nevada in the mini kegerator

I've brewed a few batches in the past. Turned out pretty darned good too!
Well, when you get some more home brew, give me a shout and I'll pay the shipping & a gratuity for a case of your finest.
I've also got some Sierra Nevada Porter & Stout in the frige.
I'm ending the night with the stout, in a Chimay glass
.
Good job Dave. I'm glad you'll get to hook up with Vin after all.
Pics are required you know. Remember the tourist guy after 911. His pic was everywhere with everyone. Vin is FF's personal tourist guy. We'll all get our pic taken with him as he makes his way across our country. Kewl!!!!!!!!
What kind of beer does Vin like CB? Is he a Fosters drinker?
I thought Fosters was what the Aussies send to the US because no one there will drink it.
spiffy got it in one!
Vin spits almost as bad when you mention fosters as he did when CB tried to feed him Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. (too fruity, I htink was the comment)
Coopers - now - that will get his attention. Just make sure you have a second 6 pack on hand, because the first will be clutched tightly in his happy little fingers.

That's true according to Vin. Both Vin & Mary like dry white wine, and Vin likes Cooper's Lager. And like Erik said, he didn't like my Sierra Nevada Pale, the baaaastaad
. He really like this:
Meeting Vin and Mary, CB & CG was great. Seeing Rback & Princess again was good - especially since it was above 6 degrees this time, and we could talk.
Mary was a wonderful, and obviously long suffering lady.
Vin was great, too, once we got him relaxed enough to start talking.
CB & CG were wonderful hosts/travel guides, and once the other 4 were out of the picture, took Tara and I to a place with REALLY good beer for lunch.
(I napped for a while in the car after we left them)
Here are a couple of the pictures:
First is a dog collar we found for Gretchen.
the next is from the OKC Memorial.
then the shooting gallery
and last another of the memorial.

Just to bore you, a quick summary of where we've been so far.
Landed in LA, stayed in Vista CA for a few days to organise ourselves. travelled up the Ca coast and stopped with California in Sebastapol. Then 2 nights in SF, stayed with RNE in Sacramento then on to camp at Lake Tahoe. Went for breakfast at Peg's in Reno, moved on to Yosemite then on to Lone Pine at the base of Mt Whitney. From there we went to Vegas via Death Valley. took a joy flight over Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. Camped at the Grand Canyon then on to Phoenix. From Phoenix to Texas via New Mexico where we met Bobcat. On to NASA at Houston. While in Texas caught up with many from TBN. From there to Oklahoma City, met CB, CG, Rback, Princess, Erik and his wife Tara. North through Missouri, stopped at Saint Louis for a ride to the top of the arch. Currently sitting on the banks of the Illinois River.
If you're not bored yet, here are some pics, no idea what quality, can't tell on this tiny screen.

Vin, you should have brought some little empty bottles with you and filled one for every major body of water you've seen in the USA. Then, when you get back to Waikerie, you'd have quite a collection to display.

Jim you are dead right, you are one lucky people to have so much water.
He's not leaving. He just applied for his green card and registered as a Democrat, not necessarily in that order.
That's the reason his "test-trip" is West to East: he's trying to determine the correct route to vote in as many states as possible and registring [under assumed names!
] in each state on his way.....then on Nov4 reverse his route East to West gaining a couple hours of voting time!
