When your handing him his combo back....just tell him if we ever fish together again ...he is paying for the day(s) expences until everything is cool....this way you are a friend and not an ass for selling something that isnt yours anymore...and you will be happy to answer the phone when he calls cuz youll know ya have a freebie comming up....what he does with his money booze,flowers,whatever...is his bussiness....not yours...if you feel you want to fish with him and cover his costs...well then ....that your bussiness...ask your wife how she feels about you wasting money on him in the past...(see the different perceptions here?)
