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.
Welcome aboard Darth!
Enjoyed meeting you all and can’t wait for next year’s shoot!!
Welcome, Darth!!....and it was soooo good to see you guys again! We went through LaGrange, too, but waited to eat at the Health Camp on the infamous traffic circle in Waco. Best. Burger. Ever (except maybe for Wattsburger in Odessa! LOL)
San Marcos is awesome too!! I love floating in those cool clear hill country rivers! Snorkeling in them is fun too. Especially San Marcos.
Didja have a Blue Hawaiian shake?
They are yummy.
Burger! Burger!!
The fries rocked too. The malt shake was a let down, but an amazing burger and atmosphere.
Outstanding roadhouse
We are on the same page.
Hi Peanut and PE! It was great to meet you two lovely people and your bright young’uns.
Bryan and I had a great time at the Shoot, before, during, and after, thanks to the whole group.
A nicer bunch of people we’ve never known.
We’re in Kentucky, but we’ll be home by tomorrow afternoon, God willing.
Did ya’ll see New Orleans?
Justa taste?
No, darn it! Wish we’d had this conversation before we went there! LOL,
I was hoping you’d post that! It did rock out loud!
Godspeed!
I picked that pic off the web, and it is the Waco Health Camp.
Still, I thought it rocked.
I’ll post some pics from the trip when I get the opportunity.
Gnight.
Good road trip.
No, actually. We made another stop at a friend’s house and ran out of time. We drove a straight route toward home after that. Seeing our friend was more than worth it, though. Maybe next time...?
It’s a big world, all that matters is that you enjoy it.
Thank you, my dear. God bless you as well.
Gee, you’re a sweetie as well as a cutie pie! And you’re right, too.
Bedtime for Bonzo
‘Night, my friend.
No more monkeyshines for you tonight!
Posted in the wrong thread, but we have arrived at our motel in Tombstone. It is a musty, run down, old fifties style motel with a tiny bathroom almost big enough to turn around in. I love it, but Sheila is mad enough to ring my neck. The one good thing about it is the front step is very small. Does not require a makeshift ramp. We can just bump over it. They have already rolled up the sidewalks here, so we are going to have to drive over to Benson for a late dinner.
That was awesome. Thanks for the Ping!
