Hmmm. . . does the groom know about this form of wedding prep?
Never thought of it like that, but he does. :) Ate supper with him afterwords and talked about it.
I've gone shooting with him in Austin, along with the other daughter's husband. It was a first for the son-in-law, but the son-in-law-to-be has his own guns. Just a Rem 870, Ruger 10/22 and some kind of bolt action .22 rifle. He's a native born Texican after all. The other one is from New Jersey, and still "feels" the evil aura surrounding the gun, but we're breaking him of it. His head doesn't feel it, but his gut still does. Doesn't stop him from learning to shoot though. Maybe we'll all go shooting again on Sunday or Monday in Austin, while Abuela, Tia, y Mama watch Miss V. (They all have shot on occasion too, but except for Tia, aren't all that enthusiastic about it)
SIL's father about dropped his teeth when I opened my trunk to move the .45 from there to the passenger compartment, once we were back in Texas after the wedding two years ago. (Could have done it Oklahoma, as Texas CHL is good there too). We were in the parking lot of the Texas Ranger Museum and Barracks in Waco as a matter of fact. I hadn't bothered to mention that the .45 was back there, along with a a couple of magazines loaded with 200 gr JHPs.
Prayer Bump and waiting patiently for good news from TC or family.

Me too, me too! An update would be wondrous > hint, hint.
Continued prayers for you, TC. Hope that you are finding comfort and peace of mind. We're pulling for you 100% of the time.
And just in case you've missed it. You are VERY important to oodles of people. There's a reason. You're terrific!
Liddy and the USMC's top-ranked sniper (audio.)
"More than sixty confirmed kills. Eleven on the first day of battle at the Diala bridge in Mogadishu. An exceptional young man with one of the deadliest legacies in the United States military. Enough technical details to satify fellow shooting enthusiasts. (audio.) http://66.95.19.43:8081/GGordonLiddy/Coughlin-USMC-sniper-on-GGL.mp3"
Little Fly Humour:
A cowboy in Texas got pulled over by a State Trooper for speeding. The trooper started to lecture the cowboy about his speeding, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the cowboy feel uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket. As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.
The cowboy said, "Having some problem with Circle flies there, are ya?"
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they are. I never heard of Circle flies."
So the cowboy says, "Well, Circle flies are common on ranches. See, they're called Circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute, he stops and says, "Are you trying to call me a horse's ass?"
The cowboy says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass."
The trooper says, "Well that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the cowboy says, "Hard to fool them flies though."
Don't let the Horse Patooties drag your buns down Sweetpea!!!
Praying for you, God Bless You!
Morning prayers from the Left Coast. TC, I hope your day is glorious, filled with love and hope and healing and prayer. We're all pulling for you, dear friend.
Anyone have an update? I'm hoping that no news is good news.
Yep, just like that. The snakes have never even heard of Logan Fu or the Termite Terror.
Keep up the good fight TC! We're here for you.
Take care,
BC
Logan Fu? LOLOL. Powerful juju, that Loganfu, sure to shoo the gremlins away from our TC.
Yup. You've heard the expression "lower'n a snake's belly", well when the snakes get a load of that Logan Fu, they'll make themselves much lower than that.
LOL!!!!!!!!!
So I hear that you are local! I have my household joining in me in prayers for you, Mr. TC!!!!! We all want you to heal that hip and beat that nasty varmint C.
Friday morning prayers.
TC, I hope your Memorial Day Weekend includes good food, great weather, happiness, love, and healing.
Friday afternoon prayer bump - we miss you Cowboy - get well soon and get home!
