Thanks for all the news Brute - it was a great update.
Of course, my reading comprehension in the morning can be not so good (hello pre-coffee), so at first I thought the first list was the true one and I was like 'whoa' after about the 3rd item. Not that the second list was any less impressive. Congrats on all the accomplishments.
Also, I much admire your literary style of scattering the threads through the items, like your adventure with your doctor.
25x or even 33x expenses saved is far beneath BRUTE as ultimate goal. BRUTE is capable of becoming MOAR.
In these times the need for great men is paramount. The world needs BRUTE. ERE needs BRUTE. For tho a short term goal is realized, BRUTE knows he is never the same, that the river crossed is never the same, that BRUTE is BECOMING.
Mister Imperceptible hereby invites BRUTE to action
