Spreadsheets from the Gloom:

It took the courage of a little Hobbit to bring Aragorn out of the shadows to lead the odd party of Crusades to eventually defeat the evil Sauron.

On an oddly similar note it took about 7 emails to get The Colonel out of the fartsack and back into battle. Not unlike the epic battle in the Dwarves’ mines of Moria

The Colonel had an epic battle himself – however, instead of swords, battle hammers and endless arrows for the Elvin bows, his battle involved, slushy snow, 3 ski bunnies,

4 Heineken’s, a comb and a pack of juicy fruit – truly inspirational. Even though his wounds have not fully healed he posted in partial battle dress (Dredd style fatigues) – an inspiration

Brother an inspiration.

Today's Chuck...Chuck's tears cure cancer. It is too bad that Chuck has never cried.

Man down...The faithful had just finished business in the COT when one of the Brothers was spotted pulling up the rear – turns out Brooks wanted to flip that 400 lb tire

a few more times to build up his pec’s before meeting M-Brooks at the pool for a relaxing day in the water - Well..that and a straining a hammy while chasing down Beckham. Thank Gorwin that Dredd was not there today as I am confident that a speech about leaving a man in some jungle of some foreign land would have followed the 50 burpee penalty faced for not returning with “all present and accounted for”

VIP...at 0037 the phone buzzed with a message from Butter that SixMike was on his way home after priming the engines on the dancefloor in preparation for saturday leadership. Dedication at its finest.

Wheels...Beckham reminded us on the turf that he was a 22 y/o D1 soccer player inside of a year ago. Nice job out there on the wind sprints.

Observations...Triple claps to those who posted today - we felt the hot temps would keep you away but that was not the case. Gentlemen, I think that we have ourselves a cause to believe in.

Friendship..."As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." Proverbs 27:17
