At some point in the late 90s, my older foster brother owned a tow company and storage yard in ne Portland. At another point, someone either couldn't pay their tow or storage bill, and my stepdad brought home a black 76 firebird with it's original engine in it. He BLASTED that thing from 176th and Powell to the top of larch mountain in Corbett, noting that the engine made a funny noise a couple of times. It had broken a piston and the rod was stuck in the block, and he was still able to run it like that. Don't make them like that any longer.
If I remember correctly, that engine was replaced with a rocket 455.

Hummmm...maybe. But I already had a '69 Camaro 396 big block since 1976. Yeah....I couldn't afford the gas and it had to go bye, bye.

It was good enough I bought a growler to take home. So I'm having a Knock Yo Momma Stout Float

 

[ma96782]

So a "Growler" size drinker. Being that I am only used to lifting 12 oz at a time. Can I ask?

If you don't finish it all in one go. How do you store it and still manage to keep it fresh?

Aloha, Mark

The growler is the storage vessel.

 

[ma96782]

OK.....I thought that Growler was just a 64 oz unit of measure of goodness. In probably....a cheap and disposable cup.

So then.....is it a bring your own growler/cup thing?

And, I assume at this point that I might have to buy my own reusable growler?

Aloha, Mark

Yup...
And it's good practice to have two growlers for every taphouse one frequents, so you never run out.
You can take one to get filled while you're polishing off the other one at home!
Now that's plannin' ahead, eh?

 

[ma96782]

OMG....bigger than a person's head. Thanks for the education.

Growlers are truly genius, you can drink as much as you like and keep it fresh for later, In case your a light weight! Or, you can two fist them and not worry about standing in line to get more later!

Waitaminnit, there's a bottle of scotch in that picture? Where?

 

[Old Dog]

Three fingers of Maker's Mark in a red Solo cup and a bottle of Voodoo Ranger Imperial IP as a chaser. Nice night out on the patio with my dog companions and a good cigar.

Oh... and to echo sobo, what Scotch?

 

[Tinman357]

Old dog... you shoot that thing yet? How'd it do?

Oh, yeah -- put a couple hundred rounds, .38, .357, ball and JHPs, through it on Father's Day weekend. Flawless. Smooth. I'm liking it a lot! Definitely met my expectations. Oh, and those Skinner sights are awesome.

 

[sobo]

I feel like the rest of us are being left out...

 

[Old Dog]

Tinman sold me an excellent JM-marked Marlin 1894-C. Which, while I'm still sippin' on the Maker's, I'll go look at...

But I'd rather look at the accoutrements in the pic Tinman posted where there's allegedly a bottle of fine Scotch depicted...

 

[sobo]

Which, while I'm still sippin' on the Maker's, I'll go look at...

Now you're really rubbin' it in!

 

[Tinman357]

I promise, that picture was NOT staged.
