😆

Streveller will have a short career if he keeps running as he does. I was surprised Lucky thought he would get around the outside.

Schrot probably still floating.

thanks a lot, great job.

If Hardrick can carry Schrot on his shoulders he must be very close to coming back.

Due mainly to a poorly developed self-preservation instinct.
