Well you two do your best to get there. A rally just isn't the same without the Mothership. Glad to hear you are enjoying yourselves. We have been trying to keep the thread out of the toilet while you are gone!!!

These I took this morning. Last night I was able to get the PD 4045 Power Distribution Panel hooked up. This is replacing the original Univolt. Plumbing items arrived via UPS today, so hopefully by Thursday night the plumbing will be all hooked up. As far as big items, I have the middle dresser to install and the front goucho. After that there are a lot of small things like new counter trim, paint on the tongue and rear bumper, bumper storage. Man it'll never end. As far as the overall look, except for the new floor, I do not think anybody will notice we did anything. The interior walls are a lighter color, the cabinets have been re-stained and covered with satin clear, before they were just stained. I added two small storage compartments, one is where the old fuses/switches were for the Univolt, the other is inside an existing compartment. Not to mention the new black tank tray I made. Enjoy the photos, I can not wait to go camping and sit and drink... 'um relax for a few days.

We have a local liquor store (Tiffany's) that offers a tasting a couple time a year, scotch, bourbon and wine. Last night they had small batch Jim Beam products, Basil Hayden, Knob Creek, Baker and Bookers. We keep a bottle of Basil Hayden and Bookers at home all the time. The Baker was real good, I'll have to purchase a bottle of that soon. Knob Creek was good also, actually real smooth for a 100 proof bourbon. They also had a new rye bourbon but do not remember if it was produced by Jim Beam or not. The label just had a big "R" and a small "i" on it. Did not care for that one, as I am not fond of bourbons with a high rye content, such as Buffalo Trace, Ri, Jim Beam Rye, etc. Only draw back to last night was the guy from Jim Beam that was supposed to host the event became ill and could not make it, so two guys from a Detroit liquor distributor were the hosts. They pretty much reading right from the Jim Beam supplied place-mats, did not learn anything new. I should have stepped up to share my bourbon knowledge.
you might want to get on some bourbon mailing lists, Makers Mark had a tasting earlier this year near South Bend, IN. We were not able to attend that one.

I didn't hear you mention Winford Reserve. I spent several thousand dollars
sending my son to the University of Kentucky. His main objective was to report back to me what the best bourbon in the state was (oh, and get an education). He reported back that Winford Reserve was the one.
Did I waste all that money for nothing?

Hi Sky, I think you mean Woodford Reserve. I have a bottle of that in my collection all of the time also, it's one I bring out for people who do not drink bourbon but want to give it a try. This past winter a friend of mine gave me a bottle of Russell's Reserve (10 yr old small batch), that one is also good for a novice bourbon taster. So far out of my collection, my favorite is Elijah Craig 18 yr produced by Heaven Hill Distillers.
