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.
Yes, we never turn down an invitation to dinner, LOL! Especially from such an angel as your BB.
It would definitely be nice to meet your other half! Yours and mine can grumble together while we party. [smiles]
I was misinformed, and if I remember who did it, they’re in trouble. Lucky for them, I’m a bit forgetty these days... Sigh...
I’ll definitely be putting the bug in his ear about how much fun we have. Well, he already knows....he did go to Maine with us once.
My BB is a sweetie for sure. :) He is a master cat-herder like TheMom! :)
Yeah...you have some great zot graphics you can take care of THEM with! :)
Yeah, that’ll fix ‘em, whoever they are... [giggles]
*snork*
I've read about how that humblegunner freak isn't really such a monster in person.
The narrative doesn't change, but the intonation makes all the difference.
Well, he may not be such a monster, but he sure is just as cute. ;-P
Knucklehead.
Whoa.
I think maybe the whole facility done been FReeperized.
Many months in advance.
That’s impressive or something.

It isn’t until June, so there is plenty of time to plan everything you will need to get there.
All sorts of useful information along with banter and news of the attendees will be available on that thread.
I’m eager to meet you and hope you’ll be there. [smiles]
Thanks, and I hope to meet you and your hubby as well.

Thanks for the ping gumballhunter :). One of these days I plan on being there and meeting you and some of the greatest FReepers/Americans ever.
What a GRRRRREAT thread (and long thread with fantastic pictures)!
R.I.P. Texas Cowboy

He’s going to try to come back next year...and so should you, Sis! :)
