Hey everyone,
The Ninth annual Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot concluded last weekend, and so much fun was had by all who attended, that a few of us have decided to keep the momentum of fellowship and fun going here in North Texas.
For those who missed it, the annual Shoot was held at a private shooting range just south of Dallas this year. The live thread (with a bazillion photos) can be found here:
9th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot (Live Thread)
We're calling our little follow-up gathering, the FR North Texas Turkey Shoot. No, we won't be hunting any turkeys, but we will be enjoying a nice day out with good friends, in a relaxed countryside environment.
This thread is intended to put out the word to any and all Freepers who'd like to come hang out with us for a day of shooting, picnicking, and great camaraderie.
Date: Saturday, 8 November 2014
Time: To be determined
Location: 5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road
There are some permanent barbeque grills at the range, but they're small. Anyone who shows up is welcome to use them, but we aren't planning on having a designated chef cooking for everyone.
As I suggested on Freepmail, everyone should bring cold cuts, bread, condiments, chips, sides, drinks, etcetera, and we can make a buffet spread out of it.
The Turkey Shoot is gonna be a little more laid back and informal than the annual Shoot.
I never have any fun. Ever. My entire life.
Pure, daily torment. Nonstop torture. Every excruciating second.
Frankly, it is pointless to exist. The insufferable ennui of the drudgery of simple existence destroys, like a cancer in my heart, the shallow vanity of life.
All that I ever do, all that I ever think, speak, or see: my life, my dreams, my hopes, my fears, my emotions, they all have no meaning, or effect, or hope, whatsoever.
A lifetime of messing things up — no more important than if I had succeeded in all my efforts — both without meaning and without purpose.
The wisps and cobwebs of this temporary reality have falsely proclaimed themselves as real, and in it’s doing, destroyed all they touched.
But you guys have fun.
Poor sod.
Not! LOL
No no no, seriously, don’t give me another thought. Just go have fun.
****SIGHHHHH*******
We wish you could make it too, gunner. Had a blast with ya last weekend!
Figures. The ONE time I could have gone and NOT seen humblegunner, and I can't go.
To tell you the truth, we were thinking of calling it the, "Lazamataz Second Chance Shoot", but we decided not to rub it in :-)
Hey, you've got a lot of Freeper company up there. Why not throw a picnic and invite anyone who's interested in coming? Even better if you can find a place where y'all can shoot in private.
That will work.
There is a Taqueria down the street that has take out too.
You know - that's why I like you. You're such an upbeat and cheery fella!
Jeez Laz,I had fun on the Chattahoochee and breakfast is great in Ga LOL
Very good idea, Windflier. The only 2 FReepers I’ve met were out-of-state FReepers (Lloyd Marcus, Syncro) coming in for a rally in Milford, Michigan a couple of years ago. Something to consider.
Yeah, what's that place called again? It's right on Belt Line and 175.
Ever.
Because I didn't think that was possible.
Los Portrillos “The Colts”
Right!
Yeah, I often just grab a few tcos and head to the range.
