boone Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 One more time !!!!!!! This is my second try at this post---It's very hard ta do when you are under the influence!!!!!! Hell, I lost the picture and I didn't even have it in the right spot.-- Here is a picture of Ann. She is our filler operator for one of your favorite pours, Evan Williams 7 yr 90. Not your favorite pour? Then don't look at em !!!!!!!! These pictures came out very dark so I had to lightnen them a bit. Good enough ta see what is happening.

boone Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 Reverse jobs----7 years ago when I held the title of label machine operator, Dale was my mechanic. Now, I am his mechanic. This is the outfeed line in a rotary PE Executive. We run about 180 bpm. Ya know he would get me good if he knew I posted this really bad picture of him!!! But as ya can see by his face and what he is doing he is not being to kind either.

boone Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 If the bottles are gonna break it will happen here. Sometimes when we get bad glass (usually the bottoms fall out) it is a river of bourbon where she is standing. Bettye Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 It does my heart good to see all that fine bourbon going out into the world. Thanks for sharing, Bettye Jo.<A target="_blank" HREF=http://cowdery.home.netcom.com>--Chuck Cowdery</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boone Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Linn,I know that Elijah Craig is one of your favorite pours !!! When we change the line over (F-line, not one of mine) to it I will take pictures of that particular run. We usually run it for days then change over to something else. ----I don't see how they sell it so cheap !!!! They have to shut down a line and add them to F-line to run Elijah Craig-----The corks are put on by hand ----the heat seals are put on by hand--those tags are put on by hand----------------Next run I take some especially for ya!I will get some of em to hold a sign sayin, Hi Linn !(I have to add Jim to it) The sign will say, Hi Jim AND Linn !Bettye Jo<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by boone on Tue Apr 9 09:43:47 2002 (server time).</FONT></P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyc Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Betty Jo ,Could you put Bobby on it too? I think it's a great bargain, I know where there are 4 bottles of it very close to where I am at the moment! Hope the people in the front office don't start thinking they can get $25.00 a bottle for it!Bobby Cox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdery Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 You know, Bettye Jo, the Chicago Cubs charge people for putting personal messages up on the Wrigley Field sign (and for the picture they take of the message for the 2 seconds it's up there). Maybe you could make a few bucks doing something similar with the bottling line gang.<A target="_blank" HREF=http://cowdery.home.netcom.com>--Chuck Cowdery</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koji Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Great pictures to see,especially when you live so far away like me.We don't get those big bottles here where I live but the Elijah Craig 12Y's we do get.And they come very cheep here in Japan too!I dont know how they can price it around$18 after what you have to go all done by hand!And after that putting it on ships across the world,than on trucks all over our country.From now on I will think of these photos whenever I open those corked top off!Koji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
