DK – thanks for the Space Balls counting lesson.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead you men this morning at a great workout and great AO. Thanks Bug.

Solid take out by Runstopper.

Whew, nice ladder Champagne. That workout looks slightly hurtful. Great lead as usual.

Next up, Escargot for round 2. He was leading Hydra a couple weeks ago and had so much fun he is coming back for more.
