And that is why I’m horrible at reloading. Dyslexia keeps me trying to fit .54 cal ammo into my 1911.

Oh, do tell. I assumed it meant that he served on the USS Columbus - am I right?

Big wallet to buy everyone's breakfast?

Hey, you can come on down to Houston and buy ours as well!

We were also treated to a FaceTime call from Vol Texan and his breakfast group in Houston.

Thanks to you for the invitation to (remotely) crash your party! I'm sorry the tech didn't work out well enough (it was too loud here in Houston to hear y'all), but it was fun all the same.

Congrats to all of you for being the founding members of what I hope becomes a long-standing tradition in your neck of the woods. I can't believe you had such a good turnout - very cool indeed!

We've had a bit of cross-pollination between the Houston South Quadrant and the Houston West Quadrant meet-ups. Maybe someday some of us may get to enjoy each others' company on the occasional road trip.

Yeah, I have already made it a "unless I'm dead" situation, I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

I'm bringing The Annoyed Woman with me. But I have to get her home at a reasonable hour......as she plans to spend the rest of the day making her world-famous boudain-stuffed chile-rellenos for me for Father's Day dinner. Yes, she's that kind of cook, that she invented chile-rellenos stuffed with boudain.

I married above my station in life.......

OK, now you've got me. I might have to make the trip from Houston for this event, as long as I get an invite to the (not yet announced) after-party at TAM's house as well. I could eat me some boudin stuffed chilies.

Y'all are going to have a great time. I regularly hit both of the Houston breakfasts, and each one has its own unique character.

Regarding the idea of a shoot afterwards, I really like the idea of keeping the event dedicated to the meet and greet aspect (breakfast only). It avoids the temptation to 'hurry up and finish so we can get to the range' and allows the conversations to develop more fully. Each time is different: some days we talk about nothin but guns, equipment, etc., other days are dedicated to upcoming legislation, and there are days where the topic of guns barely surfaces (and instead we talk about kids, travel, cars, or a movie we saw last week).

My suggestion: keep the breakfast as a breakfast, and use it to plan other (more dynamic) meet-ups, as desired.
