Yea it was nice,wish I wasn't so late but it shall happen again....maybe on a day off for me
That. Was. Awesome.
You guys kick ass. Talon kicks ass for donating to us the use of their facilities.
The chili was excellent. I think we were supposed to be judging or something, but mingling with you kind folk just took on a life of its own and we just had fun with y'all instead.
Tack really appreciated the antacids I brought, too.
Honestly, I've needed a fun evening like that for a while and you guys delivered in a big way. I look forward to the next CCGF gathering!
What a great group of folks. Especially me. :p
Seriously though, without you all it would be no fun at all. Neither would this place be.
Thank you. To each and every one of you.
Serously Rumbler you are a big part of the success of both of these venues.Quote:

I am sorry I missed this event but due to Doctors orders I would not have been any fun.Looking forward to the next get to gether.
Crawdaddy, congratulations on a job well done. I know it was like herding cats. You pulled it off.
Man, what a great night. Wish I could have stayed later. It looked like JD was just getting into his stride. Speaking of......
You did indeed!Quote:

Just getting around to posting about it, but I had a great time at the cookout. I already knew most everyone, but it was nice to meet everyone else! All the chili was outstanding, as indicated by the fact I ate a ton of it. I'm very glad I didn't have anything social to do for the next 12 hours or so and my wife got really tired of hiding from all those barking spiders! Next time, we have to detail someone for the dessert cart. We were a bit light on the sweets!
I could do a get together like that again very soon. Busy lives seem to stand in the way of everyone being there I'd like to see (and see again), and I'm thinking if we had something like this more often it would give folks more of an opportunity to cycle through. I'm always interested in what other hobbies/interests/jobs the other forum members have and it seems many of us have mad skills that don't get addressed much. We could teach each other a lot!
I know that the shooting was a side note to the cooking (ok, so I know that now), but I have to say I had a lot of fun on the range. Normally shooting for me is mostly business and it was great to get out there with Tack, Cybercop & Spouse, Craw, and YankeeF, and the rest and just plink and share guns. I really didn't think I was going to like the XS big dot sight, but it turns out they are ok!
You guys are all solid shooters and I'd share a range with you any time.
Only because you ate them all. You had, like a pound of candy.Quote:

It was great all around. Man the chili was awesome.
Boys, It had been a while since I did that.
Well dog my cats and shuck my peas....Quote:

I liked it when Tack called out to the departing Triad about viewing his wood shop, and Triad continuing to walk like nothing was spoken.
We chuckled and said "I think that meant 'NO.'"
Now, now, I actually said, "it's kinda late, isn't it"? (as I was headed to the car).Quote:

LOL. You're still good at it. Besides, it's good for you.Quote:

They were dragging picnic tables around with tractors and building a wood pile when I was there. Sorry to miss it.
I sure enjoyed meeting everyone, seeing the range and eating the chili. That was alot of fun.
Sorry I couldn't check in earlier but I had some rough shit to deal with the last couple days...
Anyway...
Thank you to all that made it out and help make it a great event. I had a great time, met some top notch folks, and even learned some shit. (thanks again AB)
And a HUGE thank you to Talon for opening the range to us. You guys have a first rate facility and great group of guys running things.
Oh, and a thank you goes out to Jlfar as well, for allowing it to be a family friendly day... I'm happy to report that no potatoes were harmed in the making of this event. :cool:
So when's the next one of these hootenannies for me to miss going to be?
I've been kinda wrapped up in shit the last couple days and haven't thought that far ahead...
But I'm sure someone will come up with another idea that I can steal soon... (thanks again jmoorewar :cool:)
I was kinda thinking, what if we all hit up the Golden Corral or something like that in February?
I cannot imagine a venue more suited to our group than Talon. They now have fire pit, a fridge for beer, a big ass TV, and I even heard something from AB about a place there that you can shoot guns and stuff.
Impossible.Quote:

October 1st we should all get together and go see a live band somewhere....
In memory of Rudy. :cool:
Although my attendance at these events is a bit...inconsistent...I do try and make them! I'd love to have another one soon. It need not be as large in scale as the last one, just maybe some burgers on a grill and an afternoon of shooting.

That was the day douche canoe got banned...Quote:

See what I did there?
We could just dress Skip up in a dress and make him play his banjo.
I don't get it.Quote:
