unforgiven Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Just got back from San Antonio and Dallas.Saw the last Aunt and uncle I have left.Went to the cemetary's San Fernando #2 and Ft. Sam Houston.I have my grandparents and aunt at San Fernando and my 2 uncles and an aunt at Ft. Sam.The sea of headstones at Ft. Sam is crushing.They bury 20 a day there. Finnally had a chance to visit with one of our esteem members here.Brother Jeff [Washguy] and his lovely lady Char.My wife and I had the time of our lives.There is a very good reason why he is the grill master in the grilling section.We had the pleasure of having a pork butt and some Nolan Ryan steaks cooked on the Green mountain that were fukin fantastic.The steaks almost 2" thick were soft as butter,cooked to perfection.If that wasn't good enough we went out to the range where my wife had a chance to get behind an AR.She loved the .300 blackout and the 6.8....the .308 had a little more push for her likein but shot and enjoyed it none the less.Everyone there was super friendly.Then I put on a pistol shooting clinic for my brother with that STI 9mm....BWAHAHAHAH.Damn bueatiful pistol that wife also enjoyed shooting it.We were welcomed with open arms...this kindness will never be forgotten.1 more year and I look forward to visiting my other brother here on this forum.Had a great time.We left for Midway and it was freezing,roads were icy.Got off the plane into the 70's..loved it.I was a little surprised that my brother sounded taller on the phone.Hahahaha,Thanks again brother.
DNP Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 I'm jealous. That sounds like an awesome visit. Family, friends, pork butt, steaks, AND guns! Thank goodness there was no beer involved or it may have been unbeatable.
Armed Eye Doc Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 I'm glad you had a great time in our fair state. Come back any time.
unforgiven Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks,we have seen more of Texas than alot of Texans.Always a good time.
washguy Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Do not.. I repeat do not get in a pistol duel with brother Rene...He shot my 9mm Elektra lights out...the bullseye had no chance!

Frankh252 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Sounds like y'all had a great visit. I'll be blowing through Big D a little south of ya on I-20 this Tues then again Thurs on the way back from the Texas Water 2016 event in Ft Worth. Would love to stop for a minute but I'll be riding in a city vehicle with others in tow and in a hurry to get home.
unforgiven Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Posted April 18, 2016 Just caught the news this afternoon,seems like we made it back just in time.Rain pounding the area,flights cancelled.

The first wave of storms are leaving the D/FW area & heading out my way now. Forecast is for 3"-5" the next two days. I trust our friend Wash buttoned down the hatches sufficiently.

Sisco Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Rene glad you had such a good time. Wash, thanks for taking such good care of one of our brothers. Good people on this forum. Prayers are with you folks in Texas for your safety. Flooding is nothing to mess with.

unforgiven Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Posted April 18, 2016 Brother we have to go to Texas it is a damn good time.
Rsquared Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Been a long time since I've been to Texas. Hell.....it might have still been the 70's. laughing
Armed Eye Doc Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 I would gladly help entertain when someone comedied down, or over if that is the case. Although I don't know if I cook as well as Wash, I can certainly give it a try if needed.
unforgiven Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Posted April 18, 2016 Thank you sir I would like to take you up on that offer in the future.Kind of you to offer.I love Texas.

Just talked with my niece who lives in Houston to see if the family is okay. Sounds like an even bigger Texas Water 2016 event is going on in Houston!
washguy Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Houston is a mess....geez between softball size hail and big ol rain we are catchin hell.....Wash Come on down boys and we can play in the rain.....
unforgiven Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Posted April 20, 2016 Hope you are stayin dry brother.Lot of people there in trouble.Prayers to all.
mrmackc Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 We have been doing Okay out here in the boonies. Got between 4.5 inches and up to 6 inches in the neighborhood. We are praying for the safety and wellbeing of the folks down around Houston. Country folks just don't go when we don't need to, and we never need to drive off into wild running water. Our lake has come up about 4' in the last three days.
sketch Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Record heat here ill send it back for a refund on our rain! My fucking yard is a jungle! Stay safe brothers!
