“The holding in Boulder , when the sur-plusage is distilled, is merely that when a single prior felony is utilized to create an offense or enhance a punishment at the trial of the second crime so created or enhanced, it may not be used at that trial to prosecute the defendant under KRS 532.080. We are unwilling to further extend that holding.”
