Voting early, Another Wedding and The Kentucky Bourbon Trail...(266)


Picture at left is the reception behind the Tutt home, huge tent first class all the way...loved it....











Picture above taken at the rehearsal dinner at the Hunt Club in Lexington. What a great setting an old corn mill probably 200 years old, no doubt used to grind corn for white lighting, now a great spot for special events like this. The wedding of Stuart Mercer and Rebecca Tutt seen here. I do love these big weddings in Lexington.. Lots of fun.....

Me and sweet pea voted early today at the Pay Less Grocery Store. It was fun to get it done and get it over with...Knowing our conservative votes are in the hopper waiting to be counted is a good feeling. Ronald Reagan would be proud, well I think he would, but I did vote for one democrat. Our county assessor had been doing a pretty good job of late and just to keep them honest at the court house I voted to keep her in office. But, now I have to wait till Nov. 2nd and the rest of you to cast your votes before I can pop a big batch of corn and relax in my easy chair and watch the returns come in...I saw a good sign today though. The line was long to vote and they were all older generation people. This could bode well for the conservatives I am guessing. Young people bought into the all the wonderful free shit that Obama was promising last time. I think they helped the Democrats put their miracle worker into office. Now that we all realize the free shit is none existant and we actually have to pay for all that non-sense the dreamer promised, maybe they will all just stay home. I hope so, there has never been a free lunch and never will, but people do swallow hallow promises hook line and sinker as we saw in 08....Let us hope we have learned a lesson that reason has to be assessed with golden promises. That golden miracles, promises of wonderment, are just that, pure bullshit to get one elected...every good politician knows that you can fool a lot of the people some of the time...Lincoln said that once remember, you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can not fool all of the people all of the time, something like that, but anyway you get the drift...some people can be fooled, now and then...

Attended another great Lexington Ky. wedding...sure was fun, Lexington is a great town, no doubt the most upscale of all cities in Kentucky for sure....And then Yesterday we visited the Woodford Distillery and seen how they make that great Kentucky Bourbon whiskey...Clicking on the title above will take you to their website and get you a look at the old limestone building...The operation was started in 1812 by a guy named Pepper....forgot his first name so we will just call him Mr. Pepper...anyway interesting process of taking fermented corn and putting it into charcoaled white oak barrels for 7 to 9 years and out comes Kentucky Bourbon....Loved the taste of the stuff, even bought a 1 liter bottle and someday will become a maker of Manhattans....Hey maybe that is part of that new idea at Purdue...you know the "makers all thing"...Yeal I can be a Makers All of Manhattans....gee and I was just starting to finally feel a little bit like a boilermaker....now I am a Makers All.....wow, that is just so funny and maybe a whole lot lame....see ya later....
