And you're only four hours from me now. Welcome to the Midwest. At least it's warm right now

Great seeing you Patrick.  That place is 100 times more impressive than we imagined. Other videos and pics of other plants I've seen online don't seem to measure up after this trip. That stryker is also some serious hardware. I'm still a little hyper, I'd a put a matress down between that big c3 and g3 and spent the night there. The custom built by m&r boilers were awesome, and the custom steel door with the cat opening for the live in cats was cool. I gotta say. No matter who you are a fan of. If you can, Go for a tour there. They really are for real. Allan would have been freaking out, cnc machines galore. I'm a stop for now lol.

You can not be a true blue baller if you haven't been on the tour at M&R.  You will not receive your official jacket until so.

It's hand Screen Printed by 244, signed by all the M&R employees and each employee wears it for a day.  It is mailed to a team at Everest that takes it to the top for a special event bringing it into this world.  At that point it spends a long as 6 month on the Space Station which makes it really light weight. 

There is more but I wont bore you with the details.

The ink is made from unicorn poop, jet fuel, and some filler. You cure the ink by softly singing George Michaels "Careless Whisper" to it, acapella. True story, its cool stuff.
Thanks TSB gang!!
