Once again we had very successful TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. And as in years past ElRoy smiled down upon us and sent beautiful weather.

It really was wonderful seeing all our FRiends and meeting a few new ones.

I would like to extend a very big thank you to mylife, for the range use, setting up the reservations at the Cotton Gin & helping with the potato salad; NYTexan for being an excellent and gracious host & maker of awesome margaritas; laurenmarlowe, LuvW, MsBehavin and Allegra for making all kinds of yummy food; cpdiii for preparing a very tasty lunch; Tijeras_Slim for sending his annual salsa; and Stevie_d & Ester for bringing the canopy and the hammock.

I am already looking forward to the next shoot

So next year is at DCS?

I was telling Mickey about Schwenkes today.

He nodded in approval.
BTW Alfa6, Mickey placed your “occupy the range” sticker on the steel door to his pistol range at the shop.

looks like y’all had fun!

I was in a Texas Medical Association meeting, learning about the death of Medicare.

But, then, drove up to meet Larry in Grapevine (so close and yet so far away!) Saturday night. We went up to Bells, Tx to see my Daddy, who had a stroke on Sept 9, this year. He’s doing so much better, talking and using his right hand a bit more!

God bless all the Texas Cowboy shooters and God bless ElRoy!

I had a good time at the TC Shoot. It was great to see everyone, hear the stories, get most everyone to shoot and then the late night backyard bull sessions.

It was too bad that the entire crew couldn't be at NYTX's house that night.

Where is a good place for the next shoot in 2012? I had a good time meeting friends again. The “Texas Cowboy Gang” is like a family reunion without the members of the family that you do not like, even humblegunner and Mr.Mom. aka Eaker :)
