Boating with Friends and Weekend Reads and Listens

Yesterday I cut out of work early to take my wife on a date with our friends Branon and Kayla Hanono. There is nothing better than having friends with boats. We enjoyed lounging around talking about family, kids, and a little about the pet tech industry. Hope you enjoy your weekend and I will see you on Monday!
