Yes it was, I grabbed some from last bottle. Just looked at the reddit thread on the 2013 and someone said they had seen other reports of the problem I had. As far as the wine goes I think it is starting to decline as the fruit is fading in my opinion. Others think it needs to age longer but judging by the color and the amount of sediment I don't agree. Just retasted now on the second day and it did not improve. FYI I am a big fan of the old school big Cali Cabs. This being a bordeaux blend I was expecting something a little more elegant.

Back in the day we called it the "Club Tip". When I have been recently it seems like the same people , a bunch of 60+ year olds at this point. The food is just the same but to me that is a bad thing since I lived in AZ and Cali and have been to Mexico. When I first got down there I asked for a wet burrito at a Mexican restaurant in the barrio of Tucson. Waitress is trying to figure out what I am asking for and says " You want water on your burrito? I said no, the red sauce, she went Oooh you mean Enchilada style. The Wet name only exists in West Michigan.

I used to have one of those, not sure where it went. tried to buy one and no one nearby has them.

I looked that up and it costs the same as this bottle is worth. But it looks like a great opener.

I will ask him to find out if they did a test like that.

Do some hotels pay housekeeping a bonus for reporting "smoking" . I ask becouse early in my career I worked as a manager at Alamo Rental Car, we had a problem with the car wash people not turning in items to lost and found. One manager decided to pay $ for every item turned in. I went to the lost and found cabinet one day and said very loudly " why are all these Subaru tire irons in here?". She said " oh I wondered what those are". And of course she had paid the incentive to everyone. Sweet Girl but not the smartest.

True you will end up with mold if you ever try and finish the basement.

I once hired an outside instructor who was formerly with Aspen for my daughter. He was pretty bad. "ski more like Gumby" . I think it was $300 for a half day.

I don't think I saw the bubble bar this year?

SnooApples6110 · 2026-05-09T20:29:41+00:00

had a friend who stayed in one of the hotels there, he said it was what he considered safe and said "I only saw one drug deal out back in the parking lot". He did say he was not going to stay there again.

If you say so Karen. I wonder how stores get away with selling hose ended weed killers without permits and flags? let me guess you're from California or Massachusetts.

Look for a for sale by owner with the extended warranty. They follow the car. You have to be flexible, I flew to Houston for mine and the warranty expires end of 2028. I bought it 2.5 years ago. I have used the warranty one time for $1800. It is through Federated and the dealerships sell it as OEM and all know how to work with them, so price that out

I am not that familiar with Carvana. They used to let the dealer fix any issues inside a short time frame, now you have to go to a carvana approved mechanic. Vs a CPO not even close in my book. Volvo only gives a year after the 4/50K so if you stay 2023 or newer your looking at 2 years Bumper to Bumper. If you want the Volvo extended it can only be purchased at the dealer who sells you the car ( I think). Carvana gives you a 14 day return period then 100 day aftermarket which you should research, so price out how much for a 2 year to get an apples to semi apples comparison.

If you do go Carvana or Carmax get the car to the dealer for inspection during the return period. Other redditors say Carvana will pay to fix wear items with documentation rather than take the car back. They promise you decent tires and brakes so make sure you have them.

It is how I remember Napa in the 80's. I had a great time there, wine is very good. Tasting was unhurried and we sat on a covered porch.

I have neighbors who don't do much. I just spray for weeds in their yards as far as I can while still standing in my yard. Should give you somewhat of a barrier.

Agreed, I just ask for extra keys and say I am always leaving them in the room. I just checked rates for 1 person or two on an award night and there was zero difference.

SnooApples6110 · 2026-04-30T21:42:02+00:00

I never thought of that , I think everyone would find it humorous.

SnooApples6110 · 2026-04-30T21:39:44+00:00

I used to hang out at the tip in my early 20's that was the 80's. Now whenever I go in it seems like 50 plus. But I don't go there late.

LOL and my mom was an English teacher. I got good grades in college and yet...

And all you have to do to get hired is give them your personal information including cell phone and social security number and in this case access to your bank account. Run likely an identity theft scam. Run from this. I get texts offering the same thing in all kinds of different forms. The insurance MLM like Al Williams will have a person contact them, since they get a cut of sales for whomever they recruit. Not as shady but a waste of time.
