I haven’t met with them in a couple years because they’re two hours away and it’s harder to go that far with an 18-month-old son and other assorted adult responsibilities. Today, we made time and went up for a cruise and a tour of the Jim Beam distillery.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

We did a spirited cruise through some curvy Kentucky backroads. I put my car in “sport” mode. It was so fun! It’s like a totally different car with that turned on.

On the way home, my blind spot monitor started acting up. If it continues, I’ll have to go to the dealer. Hopefully, it was just a fluke. *fingers crossed*

Wow, I wish I could run with a Mazda club!  I’m surprised at the variety from a Shinsen to a MSM to MS3 to Mazda6!

Looks like a fun Mazda club.

Unrelated Jim Bean Apple story:

A few years ago my golf partner and I got caught out in an summer afternoon thunderstorm that turned into a significant downpour. Perhaps because we were already several beers in each, and the lightning stayed somewhat reasonably far away from the course, we kept playing. The course was drenched with water flowing in places, we were soaked, the cart was sliding all over the place, our bags were soaked, but we kept driving up to our balls and taking (truly terrible) shots. Golf carts are tremendously more fun on wet grass.

As our shenanigans continued, we came up on a group in front of us that had stopped playing and was just sitting in the cart trying not to get struck by lightning trying to not get as soaked as we were. As we pulled up from behind, the  arm of a very large and very wet gentleman extended out of the cart with an open bottle of brown booze. Given the circumstances, we didn’t hesitate. We heartily thanked him and each took a big swig without looking first at what the bottle was, just assuming it was cheap whiskey. What went passed my lips was probably the most vile thing I’ve ever tasted; Jim Bean Apple. The gesture was appreciated, and it was perfect for the circumstances, but never go full Jim Bean Apple.
