• Shoutout to Jello for posting at this AO for the first time. And EH’ing Kirby into coming as well. Loved the Minion beanie and overall effort on the day!
• Taco Stand reeked of oysters the second he set foot on the cool pavement. Not sure if it was his or his M’s idea to empty pounds of rotten oyster at 5:00 a.m. in the morning…
• Sweetwater made up all this stuff about barely exercising when he was holed up in a hotel in Atlanta all week. Then COMPLETELY smokes us during sprints. Dude can move. Think he could give Mario a run for his money on those ramps.
• War Eagle took us out at CoT with a reminder to stay positive, be grateful for the many blessings we have and be men of grace/peace to others that are hurting. Solid reminder.
• Kirby kept up the usual banter until about the parking deck, when things got quiet for pretty much the rest of the morning. Until CoT of course.
• Wild Turkey put in quiet, solid work this morning. Bag of cookies didn’t even survive the ride home.
• Loved the opportunity to take the group on a tour of the area’s finest – parking decks, circuits by the golf course and Ballantyne golf course. This site has much to offer
