Steve Moskowitz Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Wow, that brought back a memory. In 1968 or 69 we took a test in the automotive program at Ferris State to get a certificate for the Perfect Circle Doctor of Motors. Yes, I got one, which will be shocking to Ed but I never saw this manual. Interested in selling? It would eventually end up in our library here. PM me if you care to let it go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Well, as my hero W. C. Fields would say, " It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one's present or future thirst, the excellence of the Rye Whiskey, or any other reason." Personally, I only drink when I'm alone or with people, not sure about Ed.... I have a car I'm working on now which is driving me to drink, and it's a very short trip... 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdome Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Ed, remove any sharp objects from reach and sit down before you read this: My father-in-law, my wife and her sister are not drinkers. It was not easy for me to get a sober woman to date me let alone marry me, but that is a different story. At one time, my father-in-law worked for a company that gave employees a bonus check every Christmas along with one of those fancy baked hams and a gift bottle of Crown Royal. After He passed away, my wife and her sister were clearing out his house and found 16 unopened bottles of CR, still in the gift boxes, in a bottom kitchen cupboard. He hadn't worked there for 30-some years so the girls thought that whisky spoils after 30-46 years, so it all got poured down the drain without calling me or my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law and will never forgive our wives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFeeney Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 One of the things I like about being a member of this forum is I discover people stranger than me. This gives me more self esteem at no cost. Kind of like visiting a "On-Line" shrink. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 35-40 years ago I had a coaster that said "Drink Canada Dry". Me and a buddy took the challenge but didn't make it to far. We were taken back across the boarder after only the second bar, we were told not to come back. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hummmm all this discussion of adult beverage - Rye - as in Catcher in the Rye? I like Canada but like Terry Bond my preference is for whiskey of the Scottish decent - the same stuff my grandfather consumed, and so did Austin Clark before anything else - on the label is two terrier dogs one black and one white - and old WASP drink. When I first met Austin it was in November of the year and I went to his house in Glen Cove NY on the north shore. He greeted me with " Well the sun is over the yard arm, and it is getting frosty outdoors , I'd like to give you a drink to thaw things out a bit" My Dad was with me and when Austin pulled out the bottle of scotch with the puppies on it we looked at each other and knew we were with a kindred spirit in many was - old cars, great dogs, and then to see his library of materials in the 20 x 30 foot addition of the library at the rear of his house , it was like heaven. Within 3 years I was working for him full time in his library to help keep it sorted as well as answer questions on vehicle history. That was an education for me just to see all the material and thus build my own library because I now knew of things that I didn't know existed before.
