Our son continues to live his best life! (Boating Content)

[92562]

A few months ago I posted about the fact that our son spoke for over an hour with John Tomlinson for help with designing a boat for his Capstone project at the Naval Academy. We got the contact through Lucas Oil who sponsored his Jr. dragster. Today, he graciously got an inside tour of the MTI factory in St. Louis from John Teague for more help with his project. I am so jealous but really love living vicariously through him! He's the one next to John in the first pic. I can't believe they let him stand on the hull with his $hit kickers on! He then just sent a Snapchat from the Anheuser-Busch facility where he is getting a 2 hour Beer-Master tour. Oh to be 26 again!

Thats frickin awesome!!! I bet that was a great experience.

Kinda cool they arent all picky about the paint on that thing.

That is really cool, one of if not the most advanced go fast facility he could have toured.

As part of the R&D for his Capstone project, the Navy bought him this to run tests in a dynamic flow tank (there is a huge one at the Academy). Our tax dollars at work, thanks everyone!

I'm reminded of the saying do what you enjoy and you'll never work a day in your life.

John Teague?

Yes, no relation to Bob. John is the shop manager. Randy was in Key West with his daughter.

Sitting on a $3k table I’m sure. Lol.

The AB Brewery in St Louis is legit. The size of red brick buildings there is just insane.

If you are ever in St Louis there are 3 things you have to see. AB Brewery, The Arch, and a place called City Museum (which is absolutely mind blowing)

 

[ChumpChange]

Hmmm. I’ll be flying back to St Louis ever so often to HQ. Will need to make better plans when I do.

Shoes on the deck. Ouch. I could never.

John Teague?

yeah the OTHER John Teague. I met him at Desert Storm when he captained the black diamond MTI guys fleet of stuff years back. I thought he was yanking my chain. I made him show me photo ID hahaha

John Teague (the West Coast one)
