My Heart Is Heavy

The video above brings the yearly yearning to the forefront. Unfortunately Chugger will miss the sojourn this year. Hopefully I can find a tribute to the Golden Nectar while in Australia. 

Maybe next year will bring about a 33 year anniversary celebration of the 1993 trip that started it all.

Prost.

 As some of you know Gene Huck (Mid 90's) passed a few weeks ago.  Years ago at NCR I wrote down several of his famous zingers.  I thought I would publish them here.


Warning these are from the 1980's so no political correctness in these.  If you are going to be offended then enjoy!

1)  These streets are slicker than hand hammered owl shit.

2)  Duck Fucker

3)  Crazy Bastards

4) The difference between a man's brain and a woman, is a man's brain is anchored by a set of balls.

5)  It is so cold in here it will freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

6)  It is hotter in here than a fist fucking fox in a forest fire.

7)  Hotter than the hinges in Hell

8)  I am shivering like a dog passing peach stones.

Honorable mention this might be from Mike Iwicki

9)  We are skateboarding through Paradigms

Summer Planning

It's that time of year when planning for Oktoberfest should be in full gear. Unfortunately, no activity for this year.

Chugger and Designated Walker will be on a 6 week trip to The Land Down Under/Oz this year, so no visit for us. Flying Dan has teased a last minute excursion, but one never knows. Maybe we have a final group get together next year to celebrate 33 years of our first group visit. We are all retired (hoping for Barley Man to join the club) so we have plenty of time on our hands. Flying Dan is also teasing a potential visit to Dubai early next year. Stay tuned for that one.

Chime in on your thoughts for this Memorial Day weekend. I think we'll have an early celebration today with some bier and brats in memory of our WWII vets who liberated München so we could drink wonderful bier.


Prost to all
