Default Bourbons

Hey guys happy new year. We as a family had a blast, in the San Antonio River walk for 4 days for Christmas, here for New Years. My new skill set includes blending bourbons, bullit and balcones do it, it’s not their own mash. Anyway I’m not a cheap guy, like Jason zbomb, I’m all about price performance. The other night I was celebrating my 19 year anniversary with the wife and we went to whiskey cake. After a few I had to ask about bourbons pours. They wanted $10 for a 1.25 ounce pour of Evan Williams bib, 100 proof. Anyway I said that was bunkers. The 1.75 liter bottle is $22 at total wine. A guy was doing bourbons fly and one was pappy 15, he let me have half of his pappy pour, good but definitely not worth the price in my book. Anyway now since I’m always wearing my fat boy shorts I carry my own bourbon pours in them, I just go to the bathroom and take a sip. No one is raping me out of my money. By the way found a new makers 101 proof limited release bottle. Not sure if I’m going to use it in my blends. Happy sipping.

Carry my own bourbon pours, the lowest octane blend there’s 96 proof.

Come on $22 1.75 liter, $10 for a pour suck my dck.

New makers 101 limited release maybe I save it for when the Yankees win the World Series of the cowboys win the Super Bowl.

Admit it, you'd take a empty Macallan Millenium 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottle and fill it up with some cheap moonshine.
Hey it's cheaper, American, and higher alcohol content, but you like the bottle.

Default Long live the 99.

I went to Rennsport in Sealy to check on the turbo. Make sure engine was ok and state what my demands are in the lawsuit. Car ran fine, boosted to .8 bar, 125 mph no flaws. Anyway On my way back stopped at old Chicago, where I met mr Draper. Super cool guy drag races a 15 viper and daily drives two rolls. His viper after the latest mods will be running below 8 seconds in the quarter mile, his goal is 7.4 seconds, we gear heads, always find friends that like the same stuff we do. I took the 99 a few times supersonic, car never disappoints. Mr. Draper invited me to go to his next track event. How cool can that be a 2,500 hp viper running a quarter mile in small tires. His motec computer was over $10k and he has spent almost the same amount of money in tuning this combination. It cost money to go fast.



Mr, Draper 2015 built 9.0 liter viper, 2,500 hp looking for a 7.4 quarter mile et.

Mr. drapers daily, how bad is your life if you get to daily this thing.

I used to throw a lot of new Year parties at my house. Since I was traveling a lot internationally I would prepare by bringing two bottles in every time I was returning to the United States. Anyway some of my coworkers from Argentina Brazil, Mexico would come because the parties where awesome. Anyway, I would fill a bottle of Johnny blue with cheap stuff. I would take that bottle out when everyone was fck up. Almost all the times they would say that I was the best friend saving the best liquor for last. Before anyone says anything about liability, I would collect everyone’s car keys. I made the call if they where able to drive or stay. One year 12 people finished staying at my house. I miss the good ole days. Yes I was working for Conoco corporate at the time. Here in Houston on the energy corridor.

Looks like he ran straight on into the beginning of a Jersey Barrier in a straight section of highway; maybe a light pole.
Reminds me of "Grand Prix" and Yves Montand.....
"...I put my foot down hard.....everyone else will be lifting his..."
Sure as hell I'd be lifting mine.......so sad...may he RIP

I saw some of that video the other day.
Was it a 996?
I couldn't tell by looking at what was left.

I think the video said 2016 GTS. Don't know why folks don't go to a PCA DE event and do it on the track. Damn shame for the guy and his family.

I'm playing around with ChatGPT (AI bot) and asked it to write a poem about driving a Porsche 911 in the snow. I think we're doomed as a species. Here's the response:

Speeding through the snowy streets,
A Porsche 911 at my feet.
The engine roars like a beast, As I navigate the snowy feast.
The wind is howling, the snow is deep,
But I'm safe and warm, in my Porsche seat.
The traction control, it does its job,
I'm in control, like a winter cob.

The snowflakes dance and the world is white,
But the Porsche cuts through, like a sharp knife.
The handling is tight, the ride is smooth,
I feel alive, in this winter groove.

The 911 is a car for all seasons,
But in the snow, it's like no other being.
It's a symphony of speed and grace,
A true work of automotive art in this place.

The drive is short, but oh so sweet,
A Porsche 911 in the snow, can't be beat.
A memory I'll always keep,
Of driving fast, yet safe, in the snowy deep.

Nice. Maybe we're doomed when the AI gets depressed that it can't actually experience driving a 911 in the snow and starts to take actions to make it possible to do so...

Ask the AI to compare driving a 6 speed to a PDK, very curious what it says.
