* Stopped by Keeneland Shop and soaked in the track ALL alone. It's been 18 months and missed the place.
They are going with only 7,000 capacity and a lotto ticket draw. Minus whale try. But $30 for grandstand and $25 for general admission...yeah. Only advanced tickets will be allowed on the grounds. Guess that'll keep Billy Joe Horseplayer away.
Horses were being shipped in, the track was getting special love from grounds keepers, clear blue sky, 60-ish degrees. I sat there for 30 minutes taking in the beautiful of that damn place. Never gets old.
Fully vaccinated and have $500 locked and loaded. BOL!
* Also, surely there will be some sort of app soon that will allow you to show whether you've been giving the juice or not. Masks don't bother me as I wear one for 8 to 9 hours a day at work, but I just want to be able to go where I want, when I want.
* Going back to comedy sequels, I know Naked Gun 2 1/2 should be there, but I agree, Revenge of the Nerds 2 is it for me. Booger is on a contender's list for GOAT secondary character in an 80s comedy movie IMO. I might put Styles from Teen Wolf on it, too.
* Have put Ennio Morricone in the running music rotation. That dude put out nothing but epic pieces. The Ecstacy of Gold hitting for that extra mile motivation.
* WandaVision was pretty damn good. THE MCU has some damn good looking women in it. Black Widow in Iron Man 2 might be the tops, but nothing wrong with Wanda is close. I'm a sucker for redheads. Also, best *** goes to Rambeau from Wanda in a landslide.
* Underrated potato chip: Grippo's Sweet Maui Onion.
Speaking of chips, Old Kentucky Chocolates' Himalayan Pink Sea Salt Chocolate Covered Potato Chips = FIRE
* I know Wodie Sloot and B$ are the Queens of GYERO, but big fan of pretzel_logic. I think someone said it once, is she REALLY a girl? Guaranteed she'd be there to go pound-for-pound with some cold boys (girls?).
* The hallways of my junior high was blanketed with the combined scents of: CK One, Perferred Stock, Cool Water and Drakkar Noir. I think I averaged 3 headaches per week. High school was geared more towards Acqua di Gio and Eternity.
* Saturday afternoon has potential for a fantastic sports day if all goes right. UK perhaps fighting for chance to play for a spot in the tourney, the other conference semis and finals, and The Rebel at Oaklawn Park.
Group text is already getting ready for the festive mood at the local pub.
Next weekend also begins the real road to the Derby. All big boy stakes races from here until April 10.
* Nice run and then some brews on the patio for dad tonight. :fire:
