Garden gnome

It is with a broken heart that I am letting folks who knew @gamj90.bsky.social know that she passed away peacefully this morning.

99.9% sure my cat would remove a sell my kidneys for one of these.

Huge fan of Two Men and a Garden pickles and @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social beverages. Nice to see them combined into a delicious beer where you can taste both and not just pickle brine. Kudos!

Once around the sun without @gamj90.bsky.social . The world seemed less bright without her.

Always glad to see this one come back! Thanks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

Happy 36th Anniversary to my lovely bride @gamj90.bsky.social . I miss you.

It would be great if we could all relax this well!

A delightful brew named after 2 delightful people brewed and sold by the delightful folks at @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social . The word for the day seems to be delightful.

@lonesometoast.bsky.social are you still using the SymphonyBand or have you discovered something better?

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the beautiful and incomparable @gamj90.bsky.social . I miss you so very much.

07:30 in the morning standing outside in the shade felt like standing in primordial ooze. 84% humidity and 79F already and this is one of the better weather days forecast for this week.

If you like the @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social ESB, and why wouldn't you, there are still a few 4 packs in the to go fridge but rumor has it that is all that's left. Grab it while you can!

One year ago today @gamj90.bsky.social and I were vacationing in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. It was to be our last vacation together. I miss her so very very much but I am very grateful for the years we had together.

@stateofstlouis.bsky.social any idea what type of tree this is?

🍻 MUG CLUB 🍻 We are trying this out with our membership and thought we would see how it is received by the non-members! It’s a way to get some of the benefits without fully committing 🤍 There are 4 different branded designs to choose from! Start today 🎉

Another hit from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social that I highly recommend folks try when they can.

Went and walked around @mobotgarden.bsky.social for a while and then realized how close I was to @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social so had to stop in!

Six months today since @gamj90.bsky.social left this world. It was a much better place before that and I miss her terribly. To anyone else mourning someone they love, one moment at a time and smile at a happy memory every chance you get.

Howdy people, the good folks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social still have some Shiftmas boxes available and priced to move. This is a great representation of the many brews they make including two barrel aged stouts. Grab one before they are gone! You will not be sorry.

@kzieff.bsky.social was by to visit Crown Candy today and was good to hear you were not covering your nuts with chocolate! Of course there were all those strawberries demanding attention though.

Folks, @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social still has a few of these left for sale. It is a great representation of their offerings. It was a great value before they priced them to move to create space. Now it is an absolute steal! Grab them quick.

Pretty well set for the upcoming weather. Firewood? Check. Good beer from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social ? Check. Stay safe and warm everyone!

Not sure I am doing dry January the way it was intended and I am good with that. Thanks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

3 months is a very long time when you are mourning and missing the hell out of someone who was enormously special.

Was out hiking at Riverwoods Park today and cannot remember the last time I was hiking in late December in a T-shirt.

On the second day of shiftmas @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social gave to me

On the first day of Shiftmas @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social gave to me:

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Thursday to everyone who doesn't!

Was looking and saw a light at the end of a tunnel. Thought maybe it was a train but it was Two Trains from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social . ( I will go stand in the corner now )

Just when I thought this little guy wasn't good at hiding, today he found a spot that took me hours to uncover. Here was an example of a previous hiding attempt to lull me into a false sense of security.

Chag urim sameach! Technically a little bit early still.

Was outside and I'm not doing that again until Monday. Rewarding my lack of desire to be the proverbial "brass monkey" with this lovely brew from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social
