Quick update. Not too much going on since I started my new job, with many cups of coffee and walks through well decorated hallways. I discovered over the weekend that the plastic boat hose broke, so what did I do? I bought another plastic one just like it - because at $4 it is 1/3 the cost of a metal one. Metal, which may be more durable in most garden and driveway environments probably won’t last much longer than plastic in a marine environment. Or at least that was my justification so save a few dollars.
There’s a really low key beer store that also has a bar and a dozen beers on tap that always change it specializes in unique, local beers, and is conveniently close, never crowded, and always very friendly.
