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.
Oh-Oh. Edited! Praise God and YOU. Hope you made me look better than I actually look...LOL.
After all, I was among the beautiful people, like Laz and BuckeyeTexan, not to mention you, my life, Pen and LUVW!
He texted this morning and said he was home safe and sound.
I miss everybody already! We should start a conservative compound if the stuff ever really hits the fan....lol. I could get use to hangin out with this crowd for the long haul.
I’m sure! Alpine is known for great food.
You are a rock star, Onyx! :)
Your pictures are wonderful! Almost as good as your cooking!!!! I haven’t dared to get on the scale. I was very good today, so I will weigh in the morning.
Mega hugs!
Rutt roh....he ain’t gonna like that one either! You are gonna get me in trouble!
Good you heard from him. We do like our “chicks” to be gathered in, huh!
This IS the in crowd anywhere they go! Have never had anything but a wonderful time with all of them!
The Old Lady reads off the latest ZOT list...her hubby Bryan approves!
No way! That is a GREAT picture of both of them! :)
DITTO!
LOLOLOLOL.
You are way too sweet!
I so miss you!!!
Howdy everyone! We spent the afternoon strolling the streets of Tombstone, then had dinner at the Crystal Palace Saloon, then spent the evening drinking and dancing to live country music at Big Nose Kate’s. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Tombstone. Continue the trip home tomorrow. The Holiday Inn is ok, but I liked the rustic little motel around the corner from the Crystal Palace Saloon better. The beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so I had another for dessert.
That dang thing posted before your name “took.” I’m so sorry. This happens to me on the FReepathon thread too. I think I’m in preview and I’m not.
Sounds like a good time was had by all! :)
I think it is good too, but I thought the epic Laz and humblegunner pic was good, so what do i know? Lol They looked like they were happy and having fun!
Sounds like fun! Drive safe tomorrow.
ROTFL. You drank, as in IMBIBED, two (2) beers at breakfast?
WOO-HOO! God bless and keep you (sober) sweet Jim...lol.
Tombstone is a wonderful Western town. Too bad for me, I toured it with a horrid husband, but thankfully he’s long dead, so I treasure only the memories of the town... Boot Hill and the wonderful saloons. I had forgotten the name of the Crystal Palace. It’s special!
God speed and safe travels! I miss you so much!
Strangers in the night...la la la la la...
