He paid his handyman (already at his house) to fix his last flat, what, a couple weeks ago?

So yes.

And the bike shop does pick up my bike and delivers it back, if I might add. But you both will appreciate this, the mechanic is actually a connoisseur of wine. I gave him a bottle of bedrock old vines Zinfandel with some maturity on it and he loved it.

Cheap ass bastard! Give him a VCC!!

F@ck!

Wife just broke one of my very rare, collector’s issue @K_John_Joseph Glasvin crystal chaucers. And she was using them on a 2023 NZ Sav Blanc, the November vintage!

Sigh…

I lost a Grassl Cru while washing it this evening. The stem snapped sideways while drying it—there was no twisting involved. The stem very nearly impaled my palm, so I’m lucky to have escaped without bloodshed!
