12 men gathered for this weeks episode of The Forge. The Pax was expecting to make good use of the giant AO but YHC had alternate plans… We began with a mosey around the parking lot to see if Snuffleupagus would make an appearance, however he did not. We circled up for various exercises. Count off in 3’s to get in groups of 4. YHC knew we had 12 Pax members. Each group gets 1 micro-coupon from ‘Lil Blue.Mosey up to Forest Hill Avenue and turn left and head up the sidewalk to Stratford, turn left on Stratford and mosey…

We went down the hill and then we made our way back up. That is all – end of backblast. Not really, it was a challenge to remember all that we did but here is my best recollection. After NTB warned Rev that ‘Rosie’s a runner’ and Gumbo provided a correction that you never know what you’re going to get with Rosie at the helm, a mighty 15 took off in a slow mosey down the hill.

Musical Mystery Tour in full effect. Mosey to the roundabout for some warmarama including SSHs, DQs, helis, imperial walkers, copperhead squats, etc. Mosey around the bend for some wall work: People’s chair hoedowns, donkey kicks and dirty hookups x3.
