[AT] Mattias at Portland

You got it right on that point, Charlie.  I'm headed to Ireland as a
chaperone with the university chamber singers again this May.  One of
the things I warn the students about is that they CAN NOT keep up with
Europeans when it comes to drinking.  Our brew is so weak by comparison
that it's about like tap water.  Some students take that as a challenge
rather than treating it with the caution that's intended.

If Mattias was to host the Portland group to some of his local brews,
very little shimstock would be generated, but lots of sleeping would
occur.

RE: Husqvara -- I was surprised to see the prominence of Husqvara
articulated mowers with front-mounted decks all over Ireland two years
ago.  They use those (and SUV's) for everything, including herding
sheep.  They look identical to the models available at Lowe's here in
the states.

I appreciate your preference for your local brands Mattias.
Unfortunately I
am so used to our lighter varieties that you would have a distinct
advantage
if we tried to make shimstock with your brands.  LOL
