I’m starting to get excited ~ the time for the shoot is almost here! We have already started staging stuff by the front door.

For the people that are staying at the cabins – the facility does not allow cars to be parked next to your cabin, so several of us have rented golf carts to be able to move our stuff and selves around. If you will need a lift send me a PM and I’ll give you my phone number (let me know your # also, cause I don’t answer the phone if I don’t recognize the number).

If you are arriving Thursday night, we are having dinner at 7:00 at The Ole West Bean & Burger

Friday is a do your own thing day. I’m sure some plans will be made Thursday night on things to do. Dinner will be in the cabin 52 area. Plans for that will definitely be made Thursday night.

Everyone will meet for breakfast Saturday morning, at 9:00, at Denny’s.

From there we will head to the range.

Lunch at the range to be provided by cpdiii (Thanks Charlie!)

Saturday dinner will be snack food - Nachos, BBQ shrimp, stuffed chiles, bring to share...etc.

If you are not staying at the cabins, you are more than welcome to join us Friday and Saturday night for dinner, great company and excellent margaritas. The gatherings will all take place in the cabin 52 area.

The range is very primitive. For the ladies this means no bathroom! (We can make field trips into town to ease our bladders.) I suggest that you bring lawn chairs and a canopy, if you have one. mylife reported above that the range might be muddy, so bring an extra pair of shoes/boots.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones! And will miss those that are not able to make it this year.

So.. eleven days.

That’s good, I shouldn’t be showing any symptoms by then.

Gotta run, it’s volunteer day at the Liberian immigrant soup kitchen.

Someone else will have to show up to corner the market on hazmat suits, duct tape, bleach, and spray dispensers.

There are many improvements to the range now.

Lots of picnic tables and BBQs, even a playground for kids.

Unfortunately a few things have come up and we will not be able to make it this year. Nothing serious, just a few nagging things that happen to fall on the weekend of the TCMS.

We were really looking forward to coming down but alas it is not to be.

We will try to make it next year for sure!!!

Best Regards to All

Briskets are in the Freezer. Next I week will thaw them out and start working my magic on them and have them ready for the shoot. I smoke and cook them the day before the shoot and then put them in the Fridge until the next day. Brisket is like a woman, it takes time and TLC.

This is all for El Roy, I miss El Roy as we all do. El Roy and I were both Oil Field Trash and worked many of the same places but at different times. When I first meet El Roy on the computer at Free Republic and in person at the shoots, it was like an instant brother.

Looking forward to seeing everyone, and making alot of noise at the range! We'll be arriving some time Friday.

Hey anyone know what the max yardage at the range is? Difficult to tell from the aerial view what's range, and what isn't.

I can’t believe it’s almost here! We’re really looking forward to it. We can use the bed of my truck again for the buffet table. :)
