Hahaha beer friends, I tricked you! You thought this post would be about my drinking skillz.
Pfft, I’m talking about thirsty engines! Injecting water, methanol, ethanol, or alcohol into your car’s engine can give you power.
Check out my latest Q&A for MotoIQ to find out why/how!

Victory’s Yakima Twilight is getting a name change. Yakima Glory will be released on October 26, 2010. The video here explains the reason for the new name and offers a description. Feel free to replace the A in Ale in their logo with a HO.
A–>HO (hehe, these jokes kill me every time). Why you ask?
Yakima Glory? Really folks, not the best name. Kinda sounds like Yakima Glory Hole. Was Yakima Dusk taken? Or Yakima Sunset? How about Yak-i-ma Backseat (after drinking too many beers)? If you read the description, Yakima Glory Hole is pretty fitting…
“big, juicy… smoothly into rich, dark… deliver complex satisfaction with a warming edge…” I rest my case! Good thing the flavor is better than the name- hoppy nose with a roasty, dark fruit finish.
Onto some viral marketing- if you haven’t caught Victory’s commercial online (scroll down a few posts), you must check it out. This beats the typical NSFW emails Richard spams our inboxes with!

It was a twinkling of red and green here in the City of Brotherly Love, as both the Eagles and the Phillies won last night. Oswalt is my new idol- the man can handle fly balls in left field, dominate on the mound (8 innings last night), and even help himself out a little with a nice hit up the middle. He advanced to 2nd on the next play, then towards 3rd on a nice hit to right and ignored all stop signs from the 3rd base coach to slide into home to score a run.
I want to see a Phillies/Rangers matchup for the World Series. That would be a good game with two teams with a lot of heart. The Yankees can take their arrogance home and, well… I can tell them where to put it! And being a Padres fan, you know how I feel about the Giants. They proved how (not so) well they often play last night and the Phils just capitalized on those mistakes. I doubt San Diego would have looked much better against the Phillies, but the Giants never deserved to make it as far as they have.

As of yesterday:
Rivers vs. Oakland 8-0
SD vs. Oakland 13 wins in last 13 games
Spread Chargers, 6.5 points
Today:
The Bolts special teams looked more like “special” as in short bus with helmuts… Two blocked punts and a costly fumble that led to the Raiders winning 64 yard TD. Final score: 35-27. I want to puke. The Chargers dominated on paper but lost the game themselves. And losing to the only NFL team whose colors are claimed by gang bangers everywhere! The Padres disappointed me last week and now this- not a good month for SD sports fans!

Finger Lakes 2010
Wine tasting? Pfft. Bird watching? Eh. Track day and beer!
WGI (Watkins Glen International)- home to that redneck racing event called Nascar. Was I there for that? Hell no. I’m not a redneck. I can make right turns. I don’t shop at Walmart. I’m not attracted to my cousin. This was a hotlapping event- racing for people with teeth!
<– Looks like we got jacked. Can we get a drivetrain and frame for our comfy seats and steering wheels? I think Rob (middle with beige sweater) got the seat with the reach around- check out his smile!
Driving in that brace is difficult enough, not sure I could manage heel/toe on the track!
Beer/spirits tasting:
Finger Lakes Distilling (Cassis liquer, Riesling grappa, Rye whiskey: burns, baby, burns!)
Two Goats Brewing (2 on tap: IPA and Cream Ale)
Market Street Brewing (sampler; fave was the Dark Ale- roasted cocoa puffs)
Stonecat Cafe for dinner (beef posole, pumpkin ravioli, cheesecake, and a Smuttynose IPA)
