Tennessee Beast

In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
John Lancaster Spalding

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785

Congratulations, Earl!!   :beer:

MyNameIsEARL

Thanks all!!

My Road to red hat was eventful. JustKim, TheMenance, ScubaSteve, Google and MaxOrd You all helped me with the Road to Red Hat. The IBC, and videos are a great tool to getting it down.

As I would practice in the living room w/ EpicQuilter and AlarmLister, those infamous words of ScubaSteve would ring in my head at every stumble.... "You just need to find your words."

The North Bridge water was a great touch! I feel I need to have a Red had that is not blessed by North Bridge Water or Autographed by Rusty.. My Orange hat has been properly retired...

I look forward to the upcoming events and working on a bucket list item to work Every Range in Florida & Alabama.... @BamaGirl is already planning to get something in South Alabama and since she knows some new Red Hats, she's already starting bribing with Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie....
