I haven't looked at the forums in a bit so I'm late to the party but these are very impressive results! Nice Work!

Thanks Buster, you've done very well too! Congrats! Good to see you back as well!

Missed Friday's workout; Just accessories so I don't feel too bad.
Took friday and today off work to complete a project over the weekend and finished up around 5pm. Built a bear proof aviary for my bees. Will have 8 hives going this year so need to protect my little workers!

As a result I was pretty tired going in to today's workout. Definitely feeling my age today.
