Northeast Tennessee

Slow Burn

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail)

It was perfect weather, too good to be called the gloom. On a clear 61° morning with the stars shining above and a full moon acting like a flood light to read the prescribed exercises written in chalk, 8 PAX showed up to leave better than they arrived. It is rumored that one may have shown up to workout in the view of a particular FIA lady, or he may have just been her ride.

CIRCLE OF TRUST
PRAYER

May Jesus be our main focus as we serve others in our lives today.
MOLESKIN
PAX moved in tight group from station to station, which allowed plenty of mumblechatter. Dundee, barely fazed by the exercises, performed the best orange man impressions among the group. Now he needs to put together his own Trump beatdown, and lead a Q as the commander in chief. Just throwing it out there. I received a couple requests for more fart jokes on the back blast because fart jokes are always funny. Maybe we’ll have to coordinate a big burrito dinner the night before a Q?

Also, noted that its not a good idea to write “rifle carry” with an arrow pointing at a school.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Fill the calendar! Pick a day and lead a Q. Unless your Jester, then go pick a Q at a different AO to get to 200. I’ll gladly go to another AO to participate in a Jester beatdown. In all seriousness, grab a day to lead because you’re not here for you, your here because the PAX need you!
