Well,,, Here is my report...
my clock woke me up in time to make coffee for the road...
but then naturally I fell back asleep.
I woke up 5 minutes after I was supposed to hit the road.
got up quick, strapped on the new 5 pound desert eagle, that i still havent tested,
and for ballast and proven security i strapped on my 2 pound Star modelo super.
both cross draw... I felt kind of cool...
poured some cola in my travel cup and got on the road 15 minutes behind schedule.
I drove like a sane but made man and after a 5 minute misdirect arived safe, sound and unticketed at 10:10,
just 10 minutes late,,, so I beat google maps by 15 minutes for a 50 mile trip!! not bad...
so the list of paticipants follows,,, names are approximate due to memery and spelling.
1.. 1911er Clay man of the hour, the day, we will miss him, moving to oklahoma on monday, a good friend.
2.. thebigdog
3.. hrlysef Bob
4.. Catherine
5.. Vitaeus jamie
6.. psbart pregnent, got a sig
7.. acmariner
8.. emnofseattle eric didnt bring a gun but he did conceal his empty holster!
9.. freedom1man shoulder rig and thigh rig, 2 guns but theyre both strong side..
10.. 1245a defender Me Bob late
so i got my pumkin latte and settled in with the crew.
we all sat together outside, it was cool, drizzilly but pleasant enough,, after my but rewarmed
itself after soaking up the rain wettness from the chair i grabbed.
we sat and did our socializing until #6 said she wanted to shop at the sportsmans wearhouse across the parking lot at about 11:00.
so she and #5 said their goodbyes and started off,
then it seems as if by stockholm syndrome, everybody else decided they also wanted to go shopping,,,
the weather was starting to get too sucky so it was the goodest plan for us to have.
so all 10 of us went to the store and comandeered the gun counter for about an hour.
one guy bought another 10/22 with a target barrel.
one guy bought a tiny breakdown survival rifle.
#4 checked out 2 henry lever actions and about 20!!! pistols! she wants a slim, compact 9 but shes willing to look at everyting else too...
I looked at a couple too.
dang,, all us together probably looked at half their inventory!
so at about noon we were getting done and drifting out and leaving the scene of the crime.
But 4 of us,,#s 7,8,9 and 10 gathered outside more visits, discussion, gossiping and general yacking.
yes we talked openly about the forum members that werent there to defend themselves,, take that eye95 and davidmcbeth, also others!!
#7 got excited when he saw a taco delmar,,, so we 4 straglers all went to lunch.
more talking,, the election, bla, bla and soforth....
I had a great time and enjoyed all the folks that were there,,, Im going to miss my friend...
I finally got in the car after we all broke up to go our seperate ways at 1:10, and got home about an hour later.. no ticket!
