Thanks for thinking of me. It would be kind of fun to
shoot something!
Can’t make it, but can BUMP-TO-THE-TOP a fine gathering for Texas Cowboy!
From around the time Texas and FR lost TC:
Theres no way Hap and I can make it due to the distance involved. Two of our cats now require medication twice a day (ones diabetic and the other has hyperthyroidism). One we could board at the vet but not the other. He’s completely intolerant of anyone but us. The last time we had to leave him at the vet, he didn’t eat, drink or take his meds for the whole time he was there (three days) so it simply isn’t doable.
Count me in.
You need me to bring anything (i.e. drinks, chips, cookies, etc.)
Hey all! Rocky and I are trying to go but we have to get a hotel b/c we felt sorry for someone who is renting our place in near Port A.
Where is everyone staying? Is there any way to find out what’s nearest to the range? We don’t have a gun anymore. But, we’d happily bring ammo. And food. Let me know!!!
[please don’t get on me about the CHL. I had some things get in the way...I know, excuses, excuses...]
You'll do it when you are ready!
I'm getting my MN CCW soon...class is April 27th. Went practicing with my new Glock yesterday...2nd time shooting it. I LOVE IT!!
Deep down, I know that’s what I need to learn. I don’t honestly know what I’m waiting for. I still haven’t got my bills in for the lumpectomy, though.
I still haven’t got my exercise class either; I’m kind of watching the coinage these days. A little, anyway. Where are you staying? Bringing the kids?
Bump for a place marker just in case I get to try to go.
We're not able to make it this year. :(
I was unemployed for a little more than a month. Sure wipes out the savings when that happens. The new glock is a birthday present, or I wouldn't have that either.
Hoping we will be able to make it next year.
[pouting] Oh. I’m sorry to hear that. I do understand. We’ve had lots of changes where I work and that can mean anything goes.
The folks I have pinged are staying at the Days Inn in Aransas Pass. Technically, everything is close in that town! ;-)
We are planning on meeting up for dinner Friday night.
Regarding the food ~ Allegra, pax_et_bonum and I will pick everything up, divide the dollar amount by the number of people there and then pretend we are a collection agency.
See post #472 regarding bringing anything.
I pouted for a bit too...but have to keep priorities straight. :(
I’ll miss you all, and hope you have a wonderful time! This means you have another year to accomplish your “mission” I gave you a few months ago. ;~)
I am glad you have a plan for the food. I will be glad to pay my share. If there are any little extras that y’all will need, just let NYT, Mylife or I know and we can pick them up on the way to the gun range.....or to wherever the meal will be fixed.
Really getting excited now that it’s less than a month away!
I hope you are able to make it.
Here is what is on the mental menu for now:
Boiled Shrimp
Fried Shrimp
Crawfish
Fried Fish
Hush Puppies
Cole Slaw
Potato Salad
Salsa from New Mexico
2 Yummy Dips
Chips
Veggie Tray
Soda’s & Water
I like the sound of all that seafood. Maybe NYT will want to throw in a "couple" of steaks, but not even sure about that.
There is only a very small BBQ pit at DCS, they would have to be very tiny steaks.
The Menu looks great!
