And so begins our annual 7th TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot.
Thank you humble gunner for the graphic.
TexasCowboy (aka COB1) was a true Texas gentleman, great friend, patriot, and a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment. It is truly an honor to continue a tradition he started many years ago, hosting shoots for FRiends around the great state of Texas.
Many FReepers are coming into town on Thursday so that they can have a tourist day on Friday. Those lucky people are going to be made (a good) miserable Thursday evening by enjoying TheMom’s Kick Ass Enchilada’s.
The only set tourist place is The Lady Lex.
Friday evening we will meet at Captain Benny’s, 103 Fulton Beach Road Fulton, TX 78382, at 8:00 p.m., for a delicious seafood dinner. (They do not take credit cards or serve liquor ~ so remember to bring your cash & booze.)
Saturday morning we meet for breakfast at Alice Faye’s, 910 North Fulton Beach Road, Fulton, TX 78358, at 8:00 a.m. The shoot is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. at, Schwenke’s Gun & Pistol Range, 4407 FM 1069 Aransas Pass, TX, 78336. Mr. Schwenke has reserved the 25 yard shooting station for our group to use as “home base”. The only major rule at this range is do not shoot the livestock. A BBQ lunch will be served at 12:30ish.
Once the shooting is done some of us will be going to the Rockport Seafair, while others will go back to the Pelican Bay cottages for some R&R. Saturday evening will be filled with yummy junk food and margaritas!
According to the forecast, it looks as the weather will be perfect. Lows in the mid-sixty’s, highs in the mid-eighty’s.
You left your stove on.
Hope Mrs alfa6’s recovering well.
Walk to work.
Yep. Visit my blog to find out if the house burned down.
Too short. I live 0.6 miles from work. I need more than that. But, I will find stuff!
We missed you this time around.
Perhaps next time?
If you have OCD, click 'like'. Then realize you didn't click it right, and click 'unlike', then try it again. Then realize that you could have done it better. Click 'unlike', then click 'like'. Then try not to think about it. Failing miserably, because it won't leave your mind, click 'unlike', then 'like', then 'unlike', then 'like' again. Wait. Wait. That wasn't clicked thoroughly enough. Unlike ...it. Now click 'like' again. Was it right this time? No. 'Unlike'. Now click 'like' again. Maybe that one was right.
Now start asking yourself if you locked your house doors or left the oven on.
Crap. This wasn't clicked right. Click 'Unlike' then 'like' again.
Ask yourself if it is right this time.
You already know the answer.
Dang it! I forgot to try that Henry rifle!
I was nice to get to spend some time with yall.

If you do an early June shoot next year you might want to consider the same area again as Central Texas can be getting hot in early June. The coast can be warm but you will have the sea breeze. Who cooked the gumbo? I need to know what kind of competention I have against my shrimp creole. See you next year. cpdiii charlie
I believe I am turning onto a porch monkey at this point!
I was grand to see you all again and to spend some time doing the old chin wag.
Oops! “It” was nice.
You don’t want to be dipped in the Trinity!
