Houston Get Together
« on: October 20, 2011, 05:36:38 pm »
There is a thread going over in Shooting Clubs, but seemed like a good idea to add a note here as well.

Some of us Houston area folks are looking to start a weekly, biweekly or monthly get together.
For bow making, knapping, shooting and what not.

Anyone interested please respond to this thread or tother...  :)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I hear y'all...  :)

Have secured Spousal approval for an ongoing get together.
Tuesdays are bad for me in any event.
Have a bit of work coming up next week, maybe we could shoot for a day in the first week in November.
Still have to iron out some power issues on the second workbench along with getting some vices mounted.

Think I'll try to get a backstop erected for the shooting lane.
To keep me from shooting over the fence...   :o

I'm flexible on the date and we can figure it out as we go.

Boy howdy would I like to come down and hang out with you jokers.  You Texicans make nice bows, knock nice points outa ungly rocks, and know the true spirit of barbecue. 

Compared to ya'll I know very little except how to brew decent beer.  Guess I wouldn't be very welcome, huh?

They let me in the state when I came down.  I suspect you'd be fine.  The accent can be tricky for yankees though...

I wish I still lived in Tx, I would like to come hang out.  Maybe one day on one of our family vacations back to Houston.  I am currently trying to get a job that would bring me back home.  JW Id suspect that youd be welcomed with open arms, especially if you brought some home brew with ya.  Beer goes pretty good with barbeque.
You skin that smoke wagon and we'll see what happens!---Are you gonna do something? Or just stand there and bleed?

I hear ya Fells...
We'll turn no PA folks away...
long as you know the Secret PA handshake...  8)
Just kidding, course y'all are welcome.

Mr. Stoneberg and Mr. Halverson, you'se guys are always welcome. 

Bo we're looking at the first week in November, if there is a day that looks good for you please let me know.
Jermcramp, so are you up for week days? I'm guessing your hunting weekends?
Just not Tuesday.  :)
If we want to meet during the week, Monday, Wednesday or Thursday would work for me.
For the weekend, I would be open to a Saturday or Sunday afternoon get together.

As to adult beverages, I'm apposed to drinking while working or shooting, as a rule.
However after work and shooting are done, I might be up for a wee sip if need should arise.
I don't drink like I used to. My two young Sons have altered my course to starboard.

Been many moons since I brewed my last homebrewed beer.
Quite a while since my last mead went into the fermenter.
Now I just age fine Tequila...
Not sure I'm all that comfortable with the trend.   :)

Makes me wish I lived a whole lot closer to Tejas.  But someday I am going to make a swing down south, gonna hunt piggies with Georgie, scrape snake skins with Criveraville, and fling arrows with anyone willing to put up with my northern accent (almost sounds Canadian it's so northern).

JW it would be an honor to scrape snake skins with you buddy ;D And fling arrows too.  If you ever get down this way be sure to holler ;)
