PEAK PUTTERS

can you believe it, i was banned just for moving out of state for a while.

j/k thanks dave for opening the flood gates to spammers in order to get my ip.

al

Glad to see ya back on.. I put the banlist back in place and excluded the IP subnet you posted from. Also I updated the EWOR banlist so you should be able to post there as well. There's a chance you'll be on a different subnet if you use computers at different locations, if it happens again send me another email.

Right on Dave!

Al, Now we want to see pics on where you live.

dave thanks.

clay as soon as we move in to a permanent apartment and get our confuser i will. it seems to be a very nice place so far.

al

Were you move to now?

we are in temporary quarters for the time being but we have found an apartment that will be available on 1 aug. currently we are in grainau but will be moving to partenkirchen. it's all in bavaria/garmisch germany.

Alan, can you post some pictures of the area?

I Googled your new town...WOW! What a neat looking area.

Very cool

Wow when you move you MOVE

the town is very cool but there are a few things i don't have here:
a camera capable of downloading to a computer
a computer
a jeep
a place to wheel, legally.

cool things are:
lots of hiking to do
lots of cool rigs
lots of biergartens

"hutte" german for huts/restaurants in the mountains. only access for patrons is to hike in. i call them beer stops. imagine hiking up into the mountains to about 1200 meters to find a huge beer sign. sign of relief! they'll even mix the beer with an energy drink if you wish. then look up another 600 meters and what do you see? another beer sign, woooo hooo. now i know where the saying "beer isn't just for breakfast anymore" came from. beer is served from opening to closing.

the name of the beer/liquor stores is GETRANKMARKT. now i also know where our term "get drunk" comes from. the A is pronounced as a "U".

there are bike trails all over the place as well. so now we bike and hike for beer. and at the end of a day have still burned more calories than we have consumed, especially on a weekend.

biked around munich yesterday but only hit 2 of the official 36 beirgartens advertised in the "biergartens of munich book". there are however many unofficial beirgartens, probably numbering in the hundreds.

anyway you all stay safe and wheel responsibly,

It's good to hear from you Allen.

I'm so jealous. Do it all while your there.

I use to walk the trails for beers over there. It was a lot of fun. I had forgot about that.

the guest house opens aug 1 but we won't have furniture until aug 4.

remember oktoberfest is right around the corner.

you wouldn't be so jealous if your jeep and 90% of your tools were taken away , now would you?

unfortunately they only have about 6 different kinds of beer here.

weiss beir- hefe
dunkles weiss- dark hefe
helles- bud/miller equivalent
schwarz- dark (amberish to me)
licht- light beer (less alcohol)
pils- pale ale bitter like beer

if i want a truedarkbeer i have to go to the irish pub for a guiness or a beamish stout. i miss the hand crafted micros of the northwest

such is life, i will live on and dunkles weiss my way thru germany, italy, austria, swizterland and anywhere else the road or train shall lead us.

up another 600 meters to a hutte right on the austria border at 2500 meters in height. since it did take roughly 5.5 hours to get there i sat down for 3 dunkles weise biers. a wrong turn on the way down made the roundtrip time about 12 hours.


probst.

Find away to send pics if possible.

got a camera yesterday now i just need a confuser and things should be good.

it's a rough life being a domestic engineer. since the jobs are so limiited there are a bunch of us that don't work and try to do a few hikes during the week.

mmm, beer is good!!

without uploading pics to photobucket can i add a pic to a post? do i even have the permissions to upload?

al

i did upload one pic to photobucket to make sure i remembered how to do it. here is a pic of a hutte that we hiked to for a beer. about 6 hrs (including to other beer stops) and 2200 meters.

Jezzzzz Al.....something's wrong with this picture. all that hiking for a beer when you could probalby find one just around the corner.

But keep the pictures coming.

That must of been one good beer.

Maybe it's the cute chickadee serving the beer???

this was our first beer stop of the day at about 0900. and in case you are wondering stace had the camera so she wasn't in the pics.

we forgot to take a picture at the second beer stop (1100) so we had to wait until it was in sight again from above.
