It was a grind because it was a good haul? Didn’t seem like weather was good for growing this spring/summer/fall.

Covid and weather. We usually get three German interns every harvest and those kids are plug and play. Most of them grew up in wineries, so they know what’s up. We didn’t get them this year.

The growing season was ok. A wet spring meant everything was a few weeks behind most vintages, but summer was dry and mostly smoke free. Unfortunately we had two consecutive nights of -10 and then a foot of snow in mid October, so the vines just shut down. At that point it’s a race to get the fruit off and processed as quickly as possible.

So yeah, I’ve been a ghost for the last three months.

The only thing you missed really, is Vantel declining to attend the next picnic. Well, that and RealityChecker reminiscing about Amy Grant & Kenny G concerts and Bloated admitting that he pounds back his wife's Palm Bays while listening the her Nickleback CD in her truck.

So just found another 3 good friends have tested positive to Covid-19, all followed proper protocol. This is in addition to my two buds in the hospital.

I feel okay (like they did), however I booked a test for tomorrow. Fuks sake.

When you say something extra politically correct to signal how virtues you are.

1) being PC to an extreme to make oneself look virtuous or "woke," ; and
2) criticizing those who criticize offensive behaviour to make yourself look like an "independent" thinker or not a "sheep."

it really depends on who you're trying to signal but virtue signalling comes in all forms.

It's risen it's ridiculous head again. Who comes up with these terms? Twitter seems to be quite the cesspool.
