3rd TRF Kentucky GTG Pics

Another great GTG whirlwind with the bourbon, Kentucky Bourbon Ale, watches, and ribs a flyin', thanks to all that participated.

It started Wed night with the stuff that makes it all better when your horsey don't run none too fast. Mark's stunner AP diver.


From top left: Stan, Greg, Fred, Todd, Mark, [not shown:your's truly].
From top right: Boris, Randy, Bill, Rene, [not shown: Doug's mom- the poor women got stuck at my end of the table, and Doug]


MMMMmmm..............ribs..........mmmmmmm.

Wheelin' and dealin' w/ Mark, Mike, and Todd.


Watches!!!




Greg always has the best looking security. [beautiful Erin]


Wrist shot [checkout that carpet]


Most of the group [where the hell is Doug and his mom?!?!?!?!?]
[left to right: damnit, I knew I'd forget his name, Mike, Todd, dP, Mark, Erin, Greg, Bill, and Rene [and their future little watch collector]



Enjoying a fine cigar, and some local libation w/ my good friend, Bill.


And a colorful little number to take home.


Kudos to my partner in crime, Mark Theken for the tickets and his generosity.

It was a blast! See y'all next year.
dP

Dan, Thank you very much for getting the word out about this GTG. I had a lot of fun and I love that cool Seiko you picked up. I knew you were taking home something.

Mark, Thanks for getting us those tickets.

Bill, Thanks for not bringing "the watch"....the wife thanks you too.

I can't wait for the next one.

Damn you, Chris!! Look what you've done!!
And this is just the beginning [more on that in a week or so].
Probably no surprise I had a strap or two that would be a perfect match for this vintage chrono.

Thanks for posting your fantastic pictures, Dan.
This group is awesome, kind of like a Rolex family reunion each time we meet.
The GTG provided a super opportunity for my introduction to the complimentary pleasures of a fine cigar and a snifter of Kentucky Bourbon Ale.
How soon can we do it again?

Good to see you made it home. Hope the traffic was easy on you, Mark.

My sincerest apologies, Scott!! You made a great impression [I didn't even know you did impressions??] but you must remember my advanced age. I do recall something about a pilot and a race car though.
