My first plan (meetup with friends 4 miles from campus then uber to the game) fell through. We audibled and found parking near the stadium in hopes of finding a tailgate I could pay to get into (bricked). Ended up grabbing a prime rib samdwhich and standing around waiting for the team bus to show up. Kentucky needs to step up their game day options. They need at least one trailer selling drinks. They would have made a killing. Many regrets not heading to B&B now. Hook ‘em.
Arrived Wednesday.
Keeneland Thursday. The weather was perfect.
Gorgeous grounds and a good time. I stayed for all 9 races and only won one bet.
Louisville Friday.
Louisville slugger factory tour and Peerless tasting.
We stopped by Green River and Bardstown storefronts.
Mussels and Burgers makes an exxxclelent burger.
We were home in time to watch Miami shit the bed….
We’ll be staying in Georgetown and driving down to Lexington the day of. I’ll be with a group of 6-8 so I have some cats to herd to determine what game day will look like for us. On Thursday and Friday I anticipate there will be some time spent on Horses and Bourbon. The details are TBD.
I have 5. Four full size and a mini. Of the full size I have one with metal scales, one with carbon fiber, one custom and one standard model with grivory(?) scales. It is like a griptilian but thinner. It is not as comfortable to hold but is very effective as a pocket knife. Short of abusive hard use, it’s a good knife. Even the full size is very tolerable for daily carry. I forget I have it on me until I reach for it. If you avoid MSRP, they’re worthy.
