Rockin' XJ Raffle thread.

[Captain Ron]

Yep, it's that time again folks. JV in November; some of the hottest and deepest rocks on the planet, fine trail running, lots of great XJ folks, entertainment by Sobe, this here raffle to benefit FOPV, and we'll find out just who is the master... and whom be the student ( Ryan... :D ) in the homebrewing department.

What else besides wheelin' is there? :D

So here goes. The vendors are lining up, and I'm going to list the goods as they come in. If you have something to donate to the raffle, post it up!

This is a very preliminary list to get things rolling:


The SoCal and Sierra Chapters will be donating Safety Seal kits, Straps, A Hi-Lift or two and other misc. goodies.

Rigwerks will doing a repeat donation of a Mile Marker AND a Warn winch...


So here's your chance to win some nice equipment while at the same time contributing to very worthy important fight for access in our immediate area, and support the :NAXJA: California Chapters. You do not need to be a member of :NAXJA: to participate in the raffle.

--ron

PS: Good chance that Santa will be there in person so don't be like LawnCher and get your Christmas canceled this year. I'll be checking his list, so come out and buy tickets even if your junk can't make it this year. :D

[cracker]

Thanks Ron!

[4xSanta]

Santa will be there and I want all you kids to send your mom over to me to sit on my lap and tell me what you want for christmas. HO! HO! HO!

[Goatman]

I hear there will be a pair of Beard seats. :)

[Rawbrown]

oh dear... your gonna bring 1 whole Keg of Red?
The only thing I need to perfect is the carbonation levels of each individual style that I brewed...
FYI Everybody, I not sure if I am going or not. I can't plan that far into the future right now. But I am brewing like I will be there. And if I do Make it out to Goatfest as per my intentions. Then I recomend that everyone plan on NOT BRINGING BEER!
Between me And the Capt'n we should have quite a few choices of barley soda.
I have been on a brewing frenzy of making a 5 gallon batch about every weekend.
So whats ready... glad you asked.
currently I have been consuming a Belgian Wit Ale. A lot of people that try it like it but I found it to be of a slightly different taste than what I like.
behind it I have a German Honey DunkelWeizen. (Attn: Rick Beers, a pint of this at the top of Wrecking ball will have you walking as crooked as that damn Jager last year)
In the other fridge I have a regular German DunkelWeizen. same as the honey but without the honey and a different HefeWeizen yeast. Both have a noticable bannana and clove flavor.
Then I have a cream Ale. very light in color, middle of the road in bitterness. Very smooth light ale at about 5.25% alcohol. This is a new favorite.
In the Fermenter stinking up my office as I type is a very traditional Belgian trappist Ale. Its tough to describe this style other than really frickin good and it will having you walking backwards by nights end.
Next to the Trappist is an Apricot Melomel or mead. And I still need to add a couple of scotch Bonnet peppers to the mead to give it a tasty kickk.
Then there are the two other batches I have left to brew. Grain is on the shelf in air tight containers. One is for a Honey Porter and the other is for that Cream Ale. since it is so good I keep drinking it. I got a month so I might as well use the time wiesely.

One track mind? :laugh2:

[Rawbrown]

Ok Fine...
to make it relevent.
I'll add to the donation, a half yard glass with a stand filled with my choice of what I want you to drink. trust me, it will be upwards of 7.9% homebrew. Drink that and you win another glass full of a different flavor.:yelclap:
But I gotta be present to give away the gift.

[juryrigjalopy]

Santa will be there and I want all you kids to send your mom over to me to sit on my lap and tell me what you want for christmas. HO! HO! HO!

[ckh550]

I won a box of almonds from FarmerMatt.


Too bad I'm allergic to almonds.


Thanks FarmerMatt!!

Chris

[johnnyc]

Hey Chris,

Wish I would've known. I would have taken the almonds in exchange for the 6-pack of Heineken that I won.

:)

[ckh550]

No worries Johnny, it makes for a better joke this way! Besides, I passed them around during the raffle so everyone could get a handful. Hope you all enjoyed!

Chris

[4xSanta]

I won almonds also Johnny and I am not alergic to them,THANKS
FARMERMATT

[johnnyc]

[johnnyc]

Deal. :) I'll swing by tomorrow afternoon.

[4xSanta]

I will begin to coun't the nuts one by one

[karstic]

Hey Chris,

Wish I would've known. I would have taken the almonds in exchange for the 6-pack of Heineken in the man purse that I won.

:)

Fixed it for ya.

[johnnyc]

I'm keeping the man purse. ;)

[GSequoia]

Just got into my almonds now. Yum.

[Kevin3151]

I won pistachios, and threw them to someone else. The hat was good though.

Whats the deal with almonds anyhow?

KH

[rpraterxj]

So is there going to be a new sticker on a few XJ's:

"JV, Got Nuts"


I wish I could have made it. I was on call for work and didn't even receive an e-mail. That was the whole reason I could not go after all.

Oh well, next year!

So where's the list of items and winners?

[jjmat3]

Thanks to Farmer Matt, I won a set of steel tail light housings, to Alloy USA for a set of axle tube seals and to ?? for a transfer case drop that I gave away to someone that needed it. Not even sure who that was? All three items were grouped together. Anyhow, I was thrilled to have won anything as my luck usually sucks at raffles. To the organizers and volunteers, Thanks for the great event!!

[shelbyluvv]

The old lady won a ZJ steering upgrade from NAPA.

[RWKHausSupply]

IT^ WAS A FIX!

The same guy that won the Warn winch won the beard seats.. Umm???

I did win a set of steel tail light boxes. Now if I could only figure out how to cut a round hole in them...

[Ben H]

Thank you Poly Performance for the buggy bags and the gift certificate. Thank you Matt for the chance to win the tail light boxes (which I need after this trip, but for the later models), even though they were re-auctioned. I can't believe that I had 3 tickets pulled out of that many tickets. I had better head down to Vegas, with the way my luck is going.

Congrats to Tom for pulling the the winch and the seats. Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy.

[Ronbo]

I have to give an extra big 'THANKS' to those involved. The simple fact that I won anything suprised me, and I don't think I said enough at that moment. :confused1

Alloy USA D44 shafts, btw.

-Ron

[ckh550]

By the way, I did want to say thanks to everyone for the raffle and the whole weekend, it was a great time and my first NAXJA event.

FarmerMatt, just messing with ya about the almonds, I do appreciate it though. I didn't want my sarcasm to be taken too seriously.

Chris
