Weekly Update 21
Held 7500 SP And Now Looking For A Nice Gain!
Week 21 was a good week, even as it didn't appear on the surface that much happened. We stabilized at 7500 SP and even gained a little as we received a nice 100 SP from SOG member @davedickeyyall, which more than made up for a small weekly expiration from 13 weeks ago. This was the first time @davedickeyyall gave a delegation and we were proud to be the recipient. And this was a "free" delegation with no strings attached, so its a tribute to all the SOG members and to @fulltimegeek. Thanks Dave, we really appreciate it! We also recieved some really nice donations during the week and forged another deal with @em3 to get another 660 SP leased to us, so we should jump back to 8000 this week and hopefully even make a new high if we're lucky!
On the upvote of our post this week, we had a nice amount of upvotes, as usual with @fulltimegeek leading the way! Even though the steem price has come down, the upvotes on the weekly post really helps us, as it enables us to purchase more leased SP. For instance, last week we finished renewing our lease with @em3 for 612 SP and we have just added another 660 starting this week from him that will run through November 4th. In fact thanks to the donations and the post this week, we are almost able to fully pay off the 40 steem required for that 14 1/2 week lease! Steem rose slightly during the week (back to the $1.40s) and our vote values rose with them to $0.19 per post per steward (+$0.02).
During the week donations returned with a vengence, as we received 6 donations, and a total of 27.5 sbd and 2 steem. There was two large donations in double digits from SOG members @mikepm74 of 15 sbd and @goldendawne of 10 sbd. Plus there was also 2 donations from repeat non-SOG member @bashadow (1 sbd and 1 steem), along with 2 other donations from repeat SOG members @cranium 1.5 sbd and @abh12345 1 steem. Thank you all for stepping up to the plate this week and helping us get a great start on another 660 SP lease that will start soon and take us up to 8000 SP again!

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$4 steem and $4 sbd)
Tonight we will receive the 21st weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout will be equivalent to about $9 sbd (with the new payout formula, some was in steem too), and it, along with any donations will be used to initiate new leases if the rates stay so favorable. (NOTE: This week it will go to securing the new 660 SP lease from @em3 we started) The goal will be to add more new 13 week leases to replace the expiring 13 week leases each week that come due!
We have successfully built up and stabilized our account, and now we should provide a steady and growing upvote if we continue to get your support. The goal is to give the SOG members a real benefit and with your continued efforts to support us, we will continue to build the SP and curation trail.

Thank you all for your generous support!
As mentioned earlier these new donations and earnings of sbd from posts will be reinvested to grow the SP so that the SOG members get a bigger hit to their upvote. We have now started lengthening the leases from 13 to 20 weeks depending on market opportunities.
What you can do if you want to support this project to help @fulltimegeek and his #stewardsofgondor
#1 You can follow what we are doing and tell your followers and friends through various methods
#2 You can upvote our posts to increase the amount of earnings we have to lease more SP
#3 You can follow our curation trail (84th place already) on steemauto and have your upvote show moral support (even 2 or 3% is something that matters because it all adds up)
#4 You can donate directly like the wonderful people above
#5 You can delegate any of your own SP for any period of time that suits you while this Quest is ongoing
#6 Last but not least, you can thank the individual "friends" that are supporting this effort directly. Sometimes just a stop by and a small note saying you appreciate their help will make a big difference to a donor's day!
If you can't do any of the other 5 and you support what we are doing, then #6 is a very very effective way to help us. It encourage them to spread the word and rewards their efforts with "respect"
