  Thank you for the sticky for this post.  Mr. Jerry will still arrange a discount with the motel if they are still willing so need a bit of an idea if y'all are still interested in coming to the holler for the shoot.  I can relay messages to him for any that need more info, sorry for the inconvenience.  I guess this is 15+ years for the shoot and we have met some of the best folks on this planet because of it.  This year we will dedicate our shoot to Big Chief, Woodsrunner, and Sue Brooks who sadly lost their battles with cancer since the last shoot.  Not forgetting Razorbacker or Mrs. Chief either.  Several of our regulars didn't get to come last year due to prior commitments but whoever can, please do come, we love y'all and when you're not here you are missed.  Fingers crossed Alec Corban will get to make it this year, you'll love our favorite kiwi if he can get here.  He is a hoot, and then there is some of the famous dishes prepared by some of our guests...golly there is just so much, I could go on & on....did I mention there are drool worthy guns of all sizes shapes and varieties?  And their owners let you try them out too....and big BANGS on occasion too...you'll see, why not come?  We'd love to see you and expect to get a big hug from me to greet you!

  I am planning to attend. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to taste all the delicious meat dishes that will be provided. After being diagnosed with kidney disease I am limited to one meat dish per week. I guess I can save the one for the saturday luncheon, but all the rest have to be vegetable or fruit related.

  I'm counting on that hug, Miss Mary - and one from Debbie too! Maybe we could have a prayer/moment of silence/whatever for those who we've lost in the last couple of years.

  Oh I am so looking forward to trying some of that root beer and Make My Day, any restrictions on other proteins, ie: cheese, eggs, fish or etc?  Jerm will make sure that you're covered I'm sure, LOL!

  Thanks Jerm. I don't want anyone to knock themselves out. Eating salads are fine, and I plan on bringing stuff with me that I can eat as well, in case I need to.

  Thank you for asking Mary. At my initial visit with the Nephrologist I was given a menu to use as a guide. I'm supposed to stay away from animal protein for the most part, except for the one meat or fish meal a week. That would include egg yolks, cheese or milk products. My first GFR last September was 49. Two months later it went up to 74, which was quite an improvement. I'm following my instructions pretty closely, but since my GFR has improved, I have allowed myself to have some small amounts of milk or cheese since then, so I don't think it will hurt me to splurge on the day we have the luncheon. Other than that I will be fairly strict about it.

  I make a mean chickpea curry with basmati rice. I will keep it mild so Mary can try some. We can have that Saturday evening along with the regular meat/seafood oriented stuff. For lunch, I can do a vegan pasta salad of some sort.
  

  
  

  Friday evening? I think I am going to skip cooking anything since we have had smaller crowds lately and there shouldn't be a problem for the local businesses to accommodate us. We can have a root beer float social in the motel parking lot that evening.

  That sounds great. I love chickpeas or rice, especially Basmati or Jasmati. Anything that is not very spicy is OK with me. I eat a lot of chickpeas, red beans and rice or potatoes at home, so that will not be anything out of my routine.

  Couldn't make it last year and it hurt not to be there. Gonna make whatever effort it takes to be there this year. I won't be be worth much on the 'shootin' line, but if it's light recoil then I'm in.

  Food wise there are lots of stuff I can't eat anymore.  And alcohol is straight out. That root beer float Jerm mentioned sounds like a major winner, though!

  Oh I would love to be there. But alas, this is another no go year. Between Paramedic classes and work I am unable to attend, that and the potential of a house being built , will take up what other free time i have, that I'm supposed to be sleeping. 
  But I do look forward to one in the future. I will be getting enough Ammo for all of us to have fun with TJSVet's M1. 
  Yall have fun and be safe.

  Guns is guns! New guns are just as interesting as the old ones - more-so in many respects.

  All my guns are plain ol' guns because I love plain ol' guns. Actually, if I can make it at all this year Octoberish would be it. And Noel I'd bet money that that early in October will not be that cool, 60-65 Degrees F, jn the South. October here in this part of Texas is much the same as it is in the deep South, not counting Florida. And here it doesn't get that cool usually unless there's a freak storm, until late October or early November. In fact, I'm so sure of that that I'll say you're Golden in October.

  
  

  Anyway, maybe my Bride and I can make the weekend in October.
