  1. Bernie has won each of the last 2 contests by thousands of votes and yet Mayor Pete leads the delegate count. I thought Democrats wanted the popular vote to matter.
  2. I agree, but it was tit for tat. He refused to shake her hand at the beginning when she offered it. They all suck.
  3. Finally, an intelligent rider to hang with. And not the gay DCT version either. Well done.
  4. I do however look forward to her going down in flames.
  5. In her defense, she knew this and did not want to do it thus the months of delays before she started. She got pushed into it.
  6. Thank you Trump for continuing to take on China despite the lefts desire to let them do anything they want. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51449778
  7. Dates don't matter to me. I vote nomad. We drive past too many good roads just to get to Fontana.
  8. Last couple of times someone else planned it. So if someone steps up, it will happen.
  9. If we time it right he can stop at my place then he can roll up there with me.

    Today's work day.

    It's all relative to how much you make.. I watched my kid order a 900 dollar bottle after the tasting. I bet Bill Gates would never order such sub par bourbon.

    Had that today. Saw them bottling it. Those are bottled by hand. The on site store will bum you out. Not a lot of stock. Federal law says they can only sell through traditional distribution. So the distillery sells to the distributor and then their store buys it back. They don't even own the store, they can't.

    For me the most interesting thing was that when they put it in the barrel they don't really know what it will be. They have a general idea of the family it will be in but until the aging starts to kick in it could be Trace or it could be Eagle Rare.
  13. The vats are 92000 gallons each of fermenting mash. They have 24 of them. The warehouses store 60,000 barrels...250 bottles per barrel. So ball park 500 million bottles of bourbon aging currently. They dry the used mash grain and sell it for cattle feed. The proceeds from that pay every salary in the company. On that table are some of the finest and rarest bourbons made. We got to hang with their head blender/taster. He liked us so much that he got out some seriously rare stuff at the end. Epic day.
  14. Out entire table got it. Except @DerekClouser but he is "different".
  15. I caught a break, I got one of two major issues fixed. The remaining issue was to run eseutil against an Exchange DB, that takes hours and hours so I kicked that off and made it to the dinner.
  16. Guessing you never had the Dr Pepper Pork Shank there.
  17. I might be back in, just had a breakthrough. Tracy is pretty serious motivation.
