Smoked Moleskin:

1. Great to get out and Q this fine group of men this morning.
2. T-claps for pushing through the WIB. That was a grind and I was impressed with the effort.
3. Tried to bring back a few things we don’t do much of anymore #PeterParker #HipSlappers #Squirm
4. I centered today’s work around my maternal grandfather, Clyde Ray Davis. Today is his 94th birthday… he’s a living legend who still rides a 4-wheeler, bush hogs fields for his “elderly” neighbors, maintains a garden and hunts. He’s a badass and they don’t make ’em like that anymore. Here’s to many more grandpa…
