Looks like I am alone in the Jungle. Let me see if anything is left over from the weekend. Oh ya! Back behind the milk and O.J. I see a bottle of DOS EQUIS AMBER. That'll do.

For Mitch, XX is the roman number for 20 and Dos Equis is Spanish for “Two X's.” The beer was created in 1897 and was supposed to herald the coming twentieth century.

Good night all.

My first trip to Mexico after having moved to LA, we sat down at a table in a little restaurantita and my friend headed for the restroom saying, "Order me a beer." The waitress came over, and I said, "Dos Equis, per favor," and was so pleased with myself as she scooted off to get the order. She came back right away and put two waters on the table and left. My friend returned to the table and said, "Whatever you do, don't drink this stuff, did you order the beer yet?"

I've since got the pronunciation fine tuned.

Sorry I missed you for a beer, Wayne. I was a traction tire changing fool last night. I changed the rotted tires on my Pennsy M1a, NYC J1a, and NYC Niagara plus on the latter two I added extra magnets on the drivers for my reed switches for the chuffs. Also finished the front pilot on the F3 and during my day off yesterday knocked out some more work in the train house (my son was a "big helper") :D :D . Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, Drank beers! :D :D

XX is not bad beer. It's Corona that's mistaken for water.

D,

Got it.

Actually, I believed you when you said you got water. I was just making a beer joke. Actually Dos Equis Special Lager is very popular here in Tucson.
