So this evening I’m sanitizing and rinsing bottles so I can bottle up some Pinot Noir. Everything is going well, even though it is a bit of a mind numbing activity.

I’ve got a little pressure spray attachment on my faucet that when I press down on it with the mouth of the bottle, a good spray of water shoots into the bottle, rinsing it.

So merrily I’m going along, when all of a sudden, the whole darn faucet comes out of it’s fitting behind the sink! I’ve got hot water spraying up to the ceiling and all over me. Probably would have made a good cartoon or something, but at the time, it was a wee bit shocking with this hot water spraying all over the place.

Thankfully, I have a plumbing box handy, and managed to replace the o-ring that had completely split, and somehow the end of the faucet was able to slip up behind it’s retaining ring. So I did manage to get 35 bottles sanitized – but it’s 3:30AM, and I’m tired now.

Ah, what the heck.. Pinot into the bottles.. it’s Saturday, I can sleep in.
