Ok, so which Borg member did I pass on the interstate?

Post by RickBeer »

Over the holiday we drove from Michigan to Florida in our F-150 to visit relatives on both coasts. Logged over 3,000 miles. Brought along 4 cases of home brew and drank just under 3 of them. All in all a good time.

On our way home on New Year's Day, we passed a gentleman on the highway that had such a unique vehicle that I slowed way down (he was doing about 55 in a 70 zone) and waited for him to catch up so my son could take some pictures.

Now, some of the Borg members clearly seemed sophisticated enough to be this gentleman (who might be towing his home with him). Which of you is this (it's not Inkleg because he wasn't wearing a dress). :whistle:

Oh, and he's driving an old F-250.

I'd say if that older f-250 was around my area with all the salt used on the roads, the caps would be the only thing holding it together. Cool truck, I think I'll save up some more caps and do the SWMBO's car up that way :)

How many times do I have to remind you. It's only a skirt if I'm wearing my size 12 pumps. :o :p :lol:

I hope he doesn't add like 6 caps just before he gets on the road. :blink:

kinda looks like my "Dragon", but I don't drive Fords. And my beard would be snow white.

It's obviously rattlesnake. He asked for caps before and then sent us the lures he made with them in return, but now we can clearly see that was a cover for what he really does with them.

First- glad to see you made it back home safe RB and hope you had a good trip.

Second- No it wasn't the Brewbirds or JoeChianti because the three of us were sitting around my house drinking his beer. UUUUMMMM. :banana:

MY Guess is that it was an employee of a Micro or LHBS that got sold out to BMC and is headed for new/better digs.

Clearly got the brewer beard going no question; one of us MMMM prolly not. But power to the roady brewers anyway. :muahaha: :muahaha: :muahaha:

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain

Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
