Nice work to see lots of the rookies return from last week. Today was a full-scale beat down, keep coming back…it does get easier. Joker said this is where we discuss feats of strength in the Backblast…just finishing was strong. T-claps to Shore and Donkey Kong with the rucksacks and nice job to 12 year old shamwow 2.0, he has some wheels.

– We got a full tour of the South Charlotte Middle School campus, and it was noted that I may need a map for my next lead…trying to keep it interesting. I think there are lots of possibilities at our new campus.
– Well done to The Shore sporting a 20 pound ruck sack, I think it might have actually slowed him down a bit or maybe he was just trying not to show off. Strong.
– Solid fellowship in the group today and good work to the FNGs from Saturday. Keep coming, it does get easier…kind of.
– Hope to see another big group on Saturday.

The MOLESKIN
1. The lack of a home did not deter 16 men from embracing the early morning gloom for some hard work and fellowship.
2. Heinz continues to merit a new nickname weekly. After scurrying up the backstop like an anxious squirrel hoarding nuts for the winter (or is it a manic gorilla seizing the last banana on top of a jungle tree), do we call him Wookie, Nutsey, MonkeyMan, or Digit?
