      Went downtown in the morning for all the name change paper work. Here’s where the government buildings are.

      That also went to my hometown. My mom was a finalist in the Athens awards for Indiana Country. It recognizes influential members of the community. My mom was nominated by the Alice Paul House which helps victims of domestic violence in my town. She didn’t win but it was nice to see her being recognized as an local women’s leader.

      Back to the jacket!

      I’ll throw on the devil sticker when I go a 2nd round!

      This tour has been great. The jacket is just plain cool. I get compliments on it all the time. I am excited for another round since it looks so damn good.

                Whelp, it's hot as all get out, but the jacket has landed in Hawaii…

                This jacket is awesome, and while it may or may not get a lot of wear on this leg, it will at least travel around with me…

                      Weather seems to be the bane of this tour…. either way, ENJOY!!!

                      If nothing else, we'll surely see some awesome scenery pics!

                        Maybe one of us should us our “addition” by adding zippers to the sleeves to make it convertible to a vest.

                          Camera is on fritz, so it will likely by phone pics of varying quality for my portion of the tour.

                          The party jacket made it into work with me yesterday, where it relaxed on the extra chair in my office all day…

                          For those that don't know, I work at a brewery out here in Hawaii.  Here is a pic of our brew house.  It has a batch size of 15 BBL (1 BBL is 31 US gallons).  Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done…

                          This is the section of our brewery with the brew house and all of our beer fermentation space.  We have four 30 BBL tanks and six 60 BBL, so we either brew 2 or 4 batches into each tank depending on the size…

                          As a startup brewery there is always work going on somewhere.  We just got the floors in this room epoxied about a week ago and got some smaller 10 BBL tanks in to allow us to do some small batch experimental stuff. Hoping to have the tanks online and ready to use in a few weeks.  This room will also be getting a CO2 recovery system to allow us to harvest and re use all the CO2 created over the course of our beer fermentations.  We will also be installing a centrifuge in this room to help clarify our beer and further increase the consistency of our product…

                          Friday nights are bike polo.  Have a minor injury so I didn't play last night, but it's always a good time…

                            Went to a party on my buddies farm last night.  Woke up yesterday craving coney dogs, so I made some Flint style coneys for the shindig…

                            Managed to wear the jacket as well…

                                ^I definitely could've landed in worse places.  Plus one of my best friends was already out here and I've found myself in a community of awesome folks…

                                Snagged a quick selfie at work before gearing up this morning.  This is in front of our 2nd "brew house." We use this setup for cider production.  Being in Hawaii, we don't have access to a large amount of apples, so we use apple concentrate from Oregon for our base, but we use a large variety local fresh fruit from the Hawaiian islands...

                                Side note, really loving my IH-824.  Gonna have some great evo on these in a few months…

                                Sunsets out here have been pretty fantastic lately.  This is the view from my living room...

                                  What a great gig and location!

                                  I know you mentioned somewhere on the forum before, but what brewery are you working at?

                                    Also curious. The only HI brewery I know of is Kona. Love big wave and longboards. But this looks like a different one

                                      Ola is the name of brewery I work for.  It's only opened in December so still pretty new.  Kona brewing is actually just a few blocks away from our location.
