And so begins our annual 7th TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot.
Thank you humble gunner for the graphic.
TexasCowboy (aka COB1) was a true Texas gentleman, great friend, patriot, and a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment. It is truly an honor to continue a tradition he started many years ago, hosting shoots for FRiends around the great state of Texas.
Many FReepers are coming into town on Thursday so that they can have a tourist day on Friday. Those lucky people are going to be made (a good) miserable Thursday evening by enjoying TheMom’s Kick Ass Enchilada’s.
The only set tourist place is The Lady Lex.
Friday evening we will meet at Captain Benny’s, 103 Fulton Beach Road Fulton, TX 78382, at 8:00 p.m., for a delicious seafood dinner. (They do not take credit cards or serve liquor ~ so remember to bring your cash & booze.)
Saturday morning we meet for breakfast at Alice Faye’s, 910 North Fulton Beach Road, Fulton, TX 78358, at 8:00 a.m. The shoot is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. at, Schwenke’s Gun & Pistol Range, 4407 FM 1069 Aransas Pass, TX, 78336. Mr. Schwenke has reserved the 25 yard shooting station for our group to use as “home base”. The only major rule at this range is do not shoot the livestock. A BBQ lunch will be served at 12:30ish.
Once the shooting is done some of us will be going to the Rockport Seafair, while others will go back to the Pelican Bay cottages for some R&R. Saturday evening will be filled with yummy junk food and margaritas!
According to the forecast, it looks as the weather will be perfect. Lows in the mid-sixty’s, highs in the mid-eighty’s.
Well, my beloved friends, 4:30AM comes early. Taking the red-eye tomorrow. I best get some rest.
I will, I promise!! Right now I’m scheduled to take 108 hrs before the end of the year or I lose it!! HA!! That’ll never happen this year. Hopefully next year though. Somehow it’ll all work out.
I’m gonna bring 10lbs of Southside Sausage!! Ask HG about that stuff!!
That works for me! Bring the saus-swajjjj.....(that’s the right way to pronounce that word, by the way)
She is home safe and sound. Just called me. She is going to bed but will be online in the am.
Thanks for the update. Glad you made it safe and sound onyx!
Looking forward to it! I am headed to Mississippi the end of the month but hopefully we can get together before then.
I was thinking of having a little cookout for the gang soon while the weather is nice too. We can sit out on the deck and get NYtexan to make some margaritas. Those were some good margaritas!! You guys let me know when you are up for it. I am always game for good company!
I am enoying all the pictures..Thank you for sharing the fun.
I’m glad you peeked in! We went through your neck of the woods on Hwy 77 to get there and to come home! It’s a great drive!
I would love for us to get together again before you head to Mississippi. NYTexan’s margaritas are definitely the making of a great evening of fun!
You just let us know when you might have a free evening, and we will be there!
You had a beautiful week to enjoy the trip..
I always enjoy reading the reports!
We left the cabin Sunday morning around 9:00am and pulled into the driveway around 6:30pm. On the way home, we stopped in LaGrange for some lunch at a little place called La Marina. It was great and we will definitely have to put it on the roster for places to eat while on the road.
We had a wonderful weekend and look forward to next year! June you say?! LOL, o-kaay. If you wanna *feel* Texas summertime, then June it is. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
Oh yes, and please welcome new Freeper, DarthTheous. (He’s not really new, he’s just never had his own screen name before now.)
You forgot the part about the very nice state trooper in Lavaca County. Fine gent.
LOL! What happens in Lavaca County stays in Lavaca County!
Oppa! Oppa!
Schlittertbahn!
I love you guys.
LOL
No rivers but a cool central Texas location.
