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.

Those are the three languages I speak. I guess since they all come naturally, I should have said I have four skills.

Come to think of it, Chris can just park the van sideways in front of the door and I can let the ramp down on the top of the step and roll right into the doorway. That’ll impress the hell out of Sheila. Here, hold my coffee...

The idea of the cottages was brilliant! It was so much more relaxing and easy to gather for the porch talks! :)

The party room was very nice indeed!

I really liked the cottage motif, as opposed to hotel stays.

Slut.

Jim, that sounds alot like Ted (Teodoro). My son used to cook at his bed & breakfast in Tombstone!

Take it easy coming down Texas Canyon into Benson. The winds can be rough on a high-profile vehicle.

The clerk didn’t speak English very well. So, no. When I asked if he knew whether or not the burger place on the traffic circle was open, he said “You go that way!” and pointed north.

Uh, okay ...

I like to have never gotten him to understand that I wanted to buy one of the “support the troops” magnets!

I guess he was hoping I was pointing to the bongs. LOL!

Thinking about June 8th. It will be warm, but not scorching hot.

"Yeah, it's that "bong" right there in the display case.."

"That's right, Sweetiecakes. It's what I do."

Yup. We’ve got about an hour of Texas yet to do this afternoon, then we’ll pass through New Mexico this evening. Booked a room at a saloon in Tombstone for tonight and Sheila’s not happy about it. Says it’s the stupidest thing I ever done (but I doubt that). The man said, sure we’ve had people in wheelchairs here before. We just pile up some scraps of wood in front of the step and you can make it easy. Said if we arrive too late, he’d just leave the door open and a light on. Sold me. I like the idea of staying in a shooting town.

Sheila now says she’s never going traveling with me again. But that’s the same thing she said last time.

LOL! Excellent.
