Who Turned the Heat Off?!?

Man, the weather has been great lately, but I’m not digging the 50 degree stuff today or tomorrow. I liked rolling with the top down on my Mustang.

So my Kodak Playsport came in. It shoots awesome video. I’m no camera man, that’s for sure, but it’s waterproof, dust proof, shoots in HD even under water, takes awesome pictures, and is only $150. I shot a short video so you can see the quality. Check it out here.

Also in tech news, my MacBook Pro arrived today. It’s taking a little time to adjust to the change, but this thing ROCKS! Moving all my data from the PC to the Mac won’t be too fun, but it’ll force me to clean up my iTunes.

Our April Fool’s ride was awesome in Harlan, KY last weekend. Got to spend good quality time with the guys and saw some old friends I hadn’t seen in a while. First day there I had to buy new ATV tires – Austin’s ATV Shop is the place to do it. They sold and installed Mud Lites for $250 out the door. How cool is that?

I had quite a long night last night and am BEAT today. Early day tomorrow: the Coach Cal Maker’s Mark bottle signing is taking place at Keeneland. If you want a bottle (not autographed) go to CalipariFoundation.org. They’re $49.99 and will sell out fast. I have 100 cases of them in my driveway right now. Well, I HAD them there, but didn’t tell anyone until they were moved to prevent theft.

I’ll be at Keeneland all day Friday. If you’re heading that way, text me and we’ll meet up.

Calipari Bourbon Bottle to Make Sweet Music

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 1, 2010) Building on the past success of the Maker’s Mark/Keeneland charitable bottle series that supports projects at the University of Kentucky, Maker’s Mark and Keeneland are continuing the program with the celebration of UK basketball coach John Calipari, whose likeness will be featured on the bottle this spring.

The popular coach will team up with University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, Maker’s Mark and Keeneland to raise money for a unique extension program highlighting the performing arts for elementary school children throughout the Commonwealth.

“It’s an honor to team with Maker’s Mark and the university in this unique fundraising opportunity to help benefit the UK Symphony Orchestra Outreach Program,” said Coach Calipari. “I’m not sure the world is ready for my face on a bottle, but if it helps the university, I’m all for it. I hope all our great fans will support this worthy effort.”

Maker’s Mark will produce 24,000 numbered, limited edition bottles honoring Calipari, and they should be available statewide Friday, April 2, opening day of Keeneland’s Spring 2010 meet. The bottle should retail for about $49 if retailers take their normal markup.

A bottle signing, scheduled the day of the Grade-1 Maker’s Mark Mile, will be held Friday, April 9, trackside at Keeneland, with Calipari, Samuels and Nicholson. In an effort to better accommodate the growing legion of fans who attend the Maker’s Mark bottle signing at Keeneland, a few guidelines and a new ticketing procedure is being established. Details on the ticket procedure for the bottle signing will follow later this month from Keeneland.

* Proceeds from the eBay auction for a guaranteed place in line will be distributed evenly with 50% benefiting our Foundation and the other 50% benefiting UK’s music outreach program.
