Well, we're on a solid track to have a better year than last, but the Shoot will come too early in the year for us to see that income. If the gathering was in the Fall, like it was last year, we probably could have managed it.
Summer is our batzhit crazy time of year for business, so we'll be up to our eyeballs in work. The Shoot happens in June, so we'd be spending money we haven't really earned yet, plus we'd be closing the shop for about a week - losing that income. That's a double hit to our finances at a time we can least afford it.
We'll have to content ourselves with smaller gatherings at the Seagoville range outside of Dallas. We can do those on weekends over the summer.
You will be missed at the next shoot. You and the Windflier family, are one of the good guys. Actually all the TC shoot people are good guys, even humble gunner, but you make damn good whisky and that will be most certainly missed.
I was quite amazed that your whisky was so smooth and only aged a short time. I refuse to drink bad whisky. Yours is good.
I was privileged to meet you and family at the last shoot. I hope things change so you can make the next one, but if you can not it is understood.
I was very impressed with your children in the way they performed when shooting. They had good control and understood the proper use of firearms in a safe manner. They are a credit to you and Mrs. Windflier. When I spoke with them it was yes sir and no sir. You “done good!”
Maybe I can make it to one of the smaller gatherings sometime this year. Maybe.....
Oh drat. I was so looking forward to meeting you this time.
Sorry my pre-chemo testing and surgery interfered with my
going to the last shoot. Bryan and I will definitely be at this
one.
Sigh... I’ll meet you and your family someday. If I live.
