    Any of you Texas fellers @caliking @The Cen-Tex Smoker able to score a bottle of Weller 12 y/o for me and bring it to B.B.? I hear they can’t give the stuff away down in your neck of the woods, and as mentioned I’d gladly pay a premium for a bottle or two.

    What do you get when you cross human DNA with goat DNA?

    Kicked out of the petting zoo.



    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Your situation improving? Not excuses will be accepted....see you next Friday.
    Unfortunately not improving.  I need a weekend at BB more than you can imagine.  I have every intention of going as of right now.  In the next week I need Water Works to replace the valve at the curb, my plumber do the repairs in my house, and the delivery guys install and setup the fridge.  Very unlikely that any two of these things happen on the same day.  So it's looking like I'll need these dominoes to start falling in short order or need a Butt Blast miracle!

    Heading to the Frazier Museum tonight to start off the Derby Party Season.

    They are hosting the Kentucky Bourbon party tonight, and it is one of the most difficult tickets to score. 

    A buddy called me up and said he had an extra ticket, because his wife is working late, and asked me if I wanted to go.

    Duh.

    I am only going to see if I can find the right bourbon for the slushies at BBIII. 

    So I am sacrificing my evening for my brothers and sisters of the Butt Blast III. I hope you have an appreciation for all my efforts.

    I will advise on how it works out.
    Don't screw up the slushies with some damn fancy Bourbon!!!!!!!!!!! Us regular Thunder Buddy types just like Bourbon...........

    I'm only hungry when I'm awake!

    I am not even ashamed about how excited I am to have a mouthful of your nuts, Robin. 
    Drag Henry down here with you. I hear he is claiming he has to unpack. I been in my house almost 12 years and still have some boxes I haven't unpacked (tho not many). I am doing ball peanuts just for him. I will not be a happy camper if he stays the way of putting his feet up and simply reading about it. Lets go @Possumtrot

    Just checked on Weller 12 yo. This close to Derby, it is gone within Louisville city limits and about 20 miles in every direction. I will try to get over to Frankfort, at Buffalo Trace, to see if they have any versions ñon their shelves to sell.
    I am not optimistic. Current prices are around $50.00/750 ml bottle, if it is to be had.

    I appreciate you looking, and am certainly willing to pay that price if you find some.

    Feeling a little froggy after having to drink two bottles of Suprep last night and undergoing a procedure @caliking is very familiar with this morning. Surprisingly fitting considering the title of this thread. 

    The effects of the Versed and Fentanyl are just wearing off.

    Just received an Email back from Mark. He is hooking me up with the manager of the facility, Brendon Dunn, here in Kentucky. Hopefully he can help us out.
