It IS that time of the year!!!!! I'm gonna have to take a run back home to New Castle (Pa), and see if I can scare-up a case..

Sounds like someone named that one when they were sloshed from the froth!

Are you serious about the foam? that does not seem right to me???

OF COURSE!!!!
“Oh, my gosh! Its Frothingslosh!” exclaimed the hardy band of imbibers in the small pub at Upper-Crudney-On-The-Thames, England. Their jubilant voices echoed through the morning mists, “By Jove! The foam IS on the bottom!” In all its amber glory, the first glass of Olde Frothingslosh Pale Stale Ale stood before the amazed crowd, the beer floating on TOP of its own foam. “Messy mussy” was a thing of the past! History had been made! The distinguished inventor, Sir Reginald P. Frothingslosh smiled. Long years of research and experiment were finished. Success was at hand; soon aft the world would sing the praises of his unique brew.

That was a long, long time ago. Today, as we all know, Olde Frothingslosh is revered around the globe as the first and only Foam-On-The-Bottom beer.

Some insist that its extraordinary character comes from the mystic waters of the river by the brewery just downstream of the glue factory. Others argue that the hops hold the secret. Shipped in from the far off Province of Hippity, the Hippity Hops contribute a mystic “something,” but none can say exactly what it is. The ancient formula remains locked in the vaults beneath the brewery and in the minds of a few trusted members of the “Frothing-staff.”

(Olde Frothingslosh was marketed around Pittsburg by Iron City Beer during the Holidays.... ) [wispering]... do a Google search on "Frothingslosh" for the full story.... There is no admission that the commercials were old camera tricks, and that the labels for the bottles were put on up-side-down, so, you see, the foam really was on the bottom (if you wanted to read the label)..

Hey Al,

I do need an oil change.........I have been very very bad about getting one. I dont even want to say how long its been since i have had one. LOL I can pick up the stuff for it including the payola...... but while i know in my mind mostly the basics on how to do it i have never actually done one before. Would you be able to coach me (I want to do the work so i can learn) but it would help if i had someone there that knows what to do to make sure i dont screw it up. If its too much of a bother just let me know but i do want to learn as much as i can about working on my own car to save money as much as i can............how much payola do i need 12 or 24 and i already know your prefrence is Bud!!!! LOL

I recall a time in my youth when Rolling Rock was the beer of choice because a case could be had for little money. Back in those days I worked a crap job to pay the bills and sold my Blood Plasma for beer money. $24 of my blood money would purchase a boat load of Rolling Rock. Now they call it an Import. It is still brewed in Latrobe, PA, still comes in the green glass bottles, the gaphic hasn't changed any and it still tastes just like Rolling Rock. Why is it so expensive now?
They are inporting it from Pennsylvania?

Marketing can be a wonderful thing.

Hey vetteonr, a friend of mine from North Idaho sent me this and the first thing I thought of was you.

Take a look at this “ Scissor Lift ” . I hate it when they post big pictures.

The only thing I hate about it is where it was made at.

[Racerock]

Looks like a ton of work for something that has limited use...

Sitting in my garage waiting to go up is a Rotary SPA010 Assymetric Drive through lift. Looked at about 6 different brands/levels of quality and inspection and source of mfr.

Almost bought the WHIP which is mostly made in the US

Just about every other mfr (including Rotary) has most if not all of their parts made offshore.

Mine was made in 2004, used with care and in great shape. Maybe made before they made it all in China...

[vetteonr]

Now that is a cool setup. I really like how it "disappears" when not in use.

[Daniel Wood]

I figured that you would like it but not sure.

[vetteonr]

What's not to like? It disappears on it's own when not in use and lifts high enough to walk under. I always like it when guys go the extra mile to do things the right way.

It's been a few weeks since I turned the computer on. Congrats on the lift.

Interesting how excited Stormy became, when she heard about your heavy duty tool.
