Moleskin:
Conditions were nice for a final tour of our Idlewild Baptist AO. The original birthplace of Mint Hill Metal. It’s been great out here: tons of space, cinder blocks stacked in one corner for all kinds of fun. Pullup station. And of course, the beloved basketball court, where we’ve swung many a ton of iron. We even had a farewell salute from the site, as 5 deer quietly came by to see us off during COT.
Great work by all this morning. Sure hope we can get back some of our missing brothers and add to the ranks as we continue in our new home next week. Especially good to see Blue Crush, who’s been on IR.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead, gentlemen.
Swiss Miss out.

Sounds like fun! Hate I missed it.
@SWISSMISS That was an awesome stroll down memory lane. Too bad Mr Deere was nowhere to be found. It was good to see his family of 5 show up for the sayonara.
