• hard cider. I’m getting really into cider right now, maybe a home batch will be in the future?

FRIDAY 5: Thoughts from vacation… delivered the Tuesday after…

• 9 times out of 10 people are asking a question because they don’t know the answer. I need to remember that people are seeking knowledge all the time, some of it might seem like a given to me and some of it is stuff I don’t know. Either way, I need to learn to be patient when being asked something.
• Water is a big deal, especially when the supply is limited.
• Dogs need the space to run around and be dogs.
• Absolute silence is amazing.
• I have to much stuff.
