Like maybe on a crusty bun with onions and such?
Turns out I got a bunch of 'em.

Nine years ago Eaker & I were talking about what a wonderful person TexasCowboy was and what poopheads his children were. We both agreed that it would be a damn shame to let the memory of him lapse. Three or four times a year TexasCowboy would host shoots at various ranges across Texas. After everyone was finished shooting, he would then serve up a yummy lunch. It was while Eaker & I were talking that I came up with the (rare brilliant) idea of continuing what he started, but to do this in his memory. This is how the TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot was born.
2015 will mark the 10th Annual Memorial Shoot! I could not be more proud of how this event has blossomed throughout the years. The following phrase has been spoken at every shoot, except the first one, “This is the best shoot we’ve had!”.
Get ready to speak those words again . . .
The 10th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot will be held June 6th, 2015 at Schwenke’s Rifle Range in Aransas Pass. This is a private range, but I was once again able to sweet talk Mr. Schwenke to let us use his range (OK – maybe it wasn’t so much the sweet talk as it was he saw how much extra money he could make for the day). The cost is $15.00/adult. We have the 25 yard range reserved for us, but will be allowed to use the other ranges ~ as long as we “blend in” and are respectful to the members. The shoot will start at 10:00 am. I’ll have waivers for everyone to sign, and will collect your fee with the waivers to turn in all at one time. This year we will not meet as a group for breakfast before heading to the range.
If cpdiii is able to make it to the shoot he will provide lunch, otherwise we will have BBQ catered in (which will cost about $8.00/person ~ haven’t priced that yet).
I have reserved a block of 15 cottages at Pelican Bay Resorts ~ http://www.pelicanbayresort.com/ ~ for June 4th – 6th. To reserve a cottage call (Toll Free) 866-729-7177 or 361-729-7177, let them know you are with the TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot group. Our group will receive a discount on the price quoted on their website. The club house rents for $150.00 for four hours, I reserved Friday and Saturday nights ~ I can’t remember the start times, but we have to be out of there by 10:00 pm both nights. The lady I spoke with said we could probably use the club house for free, depending on how many cottages we actually rent.
For those arriving Thursday night dinner will be at Captain Benny’s ~ this is subject to change. The Friday night dinner is yet to be determined. Saturday night will be easy stuff ~ appetizers and chips & dip type stuff. There are a few months yet to figure all that out.
Everyone get your vacation requests in early. Really look forward to seeing everyone in June!
I guess that’s why you are in charge of making them...plenty to go around! :)
That’s the ticket! Why not just go with sporks! Two-fer and the tines are just about useless. LOL!
Seems to me that those might have a medical application as well...You know, for constipation???
For the guy up in post #285...
But a part of me says, why would I want to help him out???
So no, I changed my mind...
;-)
And y’all are awesome family! Can’t wait for the B.S. and the fun. :D
You are kidding me right?
For any traveling to the shoot from distant areas and wondered about a stop in Houston.
OTC: Houston’s museums offer a little bit of everything

You have to ask?
You should make up some kind of contest that includes pronouncing Pflugerville...
Further to my comments about our Texas German enclaves producing us some awesome sausage..
Pflugerville.
Boom.
and I yours, ma belle!
Whoops, better idea.
Turns out I have to go up to Austin next weekend to see dad.. passing through Elgin.
I’ma score a batch of Southside Market sausage.
More better, plus some folks don’t care for wild game.
And nobody on the planet objects to Southside Market sausage.
Well.. Muslims do but I was talking about regular people.
Insh'Allah.. may pigs piss upon him..
I received a call from Pelican Bay Resorts today. There are four cottages still available, if those are not reserved by end of business tomorrow (5/9) they will be released from our reservation and ready for the general public.
:-( Wish we could take one an be there.
And be there, I mean.
I shouldn’t come this year, so I won’t.
I do like being on your list, and I am going to do my best to be there in 2016.
Best wishes for a wonderful and fulfilling event this year. I like what you folks are doing.

Lord it will break my heart if I don’t see y’all this year.
Keep in rocking on.
