Over pitchers of beer with an attorney (Fazio) and a Reverend (Friar Tuck) between us, Epoxy and YHC showed True Grit and Forged an end to a bitter battle. The 2 premier workouts in the City of Oaks would converge for a home and home series.
After copious amounts of grilled meats and IPAS the day before, the Men of True Grit and The Forge 31 strong gathered in the gloom at 5:30 Tuesday to begin what many thought would never happen.
YHC arrived to the scene to find Mr. Rogers and Epoxy already there and in a festive mood. After pat downs for weapons, we hugged it out and waited. As the men of TG and TF arrived tension filled the air. YHC had not consulted the TG co-site Q MacGrueber and an ambush was possible. In rolled the Mac mobile, quiet ensued. Mumble chatter was exchanged then insults cut the silence followed by laughter, it was on.
Quick disclaimer to TF attendees that YHC was a professional and as Duff says, “check yo self before you wreck yo self.”
