My brethren. Many thanks to Mackle and Derble for bringing all this into existence. Thanks CapnJ for saying "dude you've gotta do this" or something to that effect 3 Mays ago. To everyone who has participated in anyway shape or form over the years I offer heartfelt gratitude for the creative and inspiring images, hilarious and edifying comments and wonderful and sometimes disturbing links across the interwebs and back. It's been rad contributing and joining with you all in this common unity.

My first MM in 2009 I built this deck with the help of my in-laws. I thought it fitting to do my last MM pic on the deck which we finally got around to staining this go round to make it fully complete. With another May passing by I guess it's on to a new season and new projects, one of which I mentioned last year on "future" theme day which is a "family album". A fun record with tracks for kids and adults crossing several genre's so the cd player can have something for everyone on a single disc. God put that album on my heart a couple of years ago and I feel like this is the season to really pursue it and MM has challenged me creatively to better prepare me for it. Good thing moustaches transcend all seasons my team Swanson should fit right in.

Stay in touch friends. My email is velvethustle at comcast dot net. If you are ever in Nashville drop me a line. I have many passions and I'm sure we could find something to converse about be it God, family, music, sports, good beer, the outdoors, motorcycles, vintage clothing, facial hair, movies, youtube links, international travel, rock climbing and the list goes on. Until we connect again...

Live righteous and peace out. ~ Steve

Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed following your swagger. You have style that is unparalleled and I'm not just talking about the vintage clothing. I do hope to get back to n'ville and when I do I will be contacting as many staches and beardos as possible. Good luck with all future adventures, and always wear a helmet.



Seriously. That metallic orange helmet rules. I'd ALWAYS wear it.
