MOLESKIN:
Discussion about rain, weather forecasts and sideways rain since the patio was very wet and limited the exercises…we learned a lot about the FNG and how names were given.  We were all surprised that Oatmeal wasn’t familiar with Stingray’s origin, but were equally surprised of Oatmeal’s origin.  YHC’s Upset Special was also discovered at the end of the workout…peck em Eagles, peck em!
