Great work this morning, PAX. Thanks for humoring me with my off the cuff exercises. Something tells me that hill will make an appearance again in the near future. Always an honor to share the Gloom with you guys.

Welcome back, Aqualung. Two Thursdays in a row. Glad you are back with us.
Turbine and Bogey, enjoy your men’s retreat this weekend. Stay warm.
Bull, good work today. There is no quit in you!
Reborn, proud of the leader you are. Thanks for the constant support and encouragement for the PAX.
Waterboy, losing weight and getting faster. You da man!
Beaker did his best Padre impression today dropping additional Burpees on us as an ab exercise.
Schrute, always good to have your leadership on display.
Mayhem, glad to have you back. Now that the temps are above 40, we expect to see you a few days a week.
Sgt. York crushed the hill of pain today. He made that mountain into a mole hill.
