    The mumble chatter today began with Saabski calling out Keymaster for seeing him running around the Tuckahoe area Tuesday morning. Saabki yelled out – hey Keymaster – you know we have workouts on Tuesday mornings you A Hole !!!! Keymaster just smiled and kept on running telling others he was with – I have no idea who that crazy bastard was – whats a keymaster???

    The pax crushed the rusty cage like never before this morning – it was awesome – well done guys… The wheelbarrow up the theatre – yep freaken brutal – just no other way to describe it … Hardywood went to check out a suspicious character around our vehicles as the rest of the pax did the Indian run – thanks for checking that out Hardywood way to be on alert  bro!

    BT has been loving that the podcasts are back in 2018 and evidently BT’s M enjoys the podcast as well – that’s awesome – but hey discretion advised – not all M’s will like or understand – not that there is any thing wrong with that 🙂 Gotta get you in soon as a special guest BT ! Hey another piece of great news from BT this morning is – Big Tennessee is in for the BRR – hell yeah baby – love it ! Anybody else want in – well respond to the pre blast TYA put up or text/email him asap….

    Thoughts and prayers are with our brothers Toga and Bleeder as they recover from surgery .

    Always a pleasure to lead such a solid group of men. Anytime you accomplish more than you thought you could or even seems logical – it’s a beautiful successful step in our journeys to be the best that we can be.
