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...
I’m your huckleberry. Say when.
I’m there.
No good can come of this.
I gotta see that! Get Chris to video it. Way too much fun to miss.
That wouldn't be Darksheare's CoffeeTM would it...
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!
Slut.
I'm still chuckling at this one.
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.
I’m guessing you didn’t get me a Blue Bell Bong?
FAIL.
Great pics! Can we do the shoot after June 1? My son is getting married then but after that, we are free to come ( if we have any money left after his wedding...lol)
Can’t wait to see everyone again. Planning to really practice shooting like Eaker suggested and be ready to fire some big guns next year!!
‘whaaaaaaoooo’
LOL!!
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 ...
What happens at Captain Benny's stays at Captain Benny's.
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.
Me too!
"That's right, Sweetiecakes. It's what I do."
Sheila now says she’s never going traveling with me again. But that’s the same thing she said last time.
******************************
LOL! Excellent.
BuckeyeTexan is one cruel-hearted b*tch.
