Over the past couple of weeks my Uncle and I cleaned up Grandma Luis’ headstone. Still a bit more to go but if you look at the other photos you’ll see it’s a big improvement. 6 years. Forever a part of me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSoI2Ar8Tq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2 weeks in a row running into a friend while donating platelets. Unfortunately ran into an issue with the needle and had to stop the donation early in the process😞 Hopefully next time will be successful. Still great seeing you @ramonakennonfrink (at American Red Cross Donation Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpF1XrgLEYn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Super HUGE and a little belated Thank you to my friend @missjudy for giving me this book! I already own it actually. If you #swipeleft you’ll see what I didn’t have anymore. The 45 that came with the book was lost at some point and now, thanks to Judy, I once again have it! For those that are unfamiliar with @berkeleybreathed ‘s #BloomCounty the cat on the cover is THE #BillTheCat who my cat is named after(see 3rd photo). Thank you Judy you rock!

Spent some time after work at @ruffhousebrewing bottling some beer. A delicious Maple Coffee Stout. First photo is the bottle sterilization process. Second photo has the bottle capping tool and a few finished bottles. The last photo contains the 22 bottles we filled. They were filled while listen to some great music which is scientifically proven to enhance the flavor of the beer. Thank you again @epr88 and @redruff88 for the amazing experience. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoykZqXrJ1i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
