View Full Version : Goodbye Colorado and goodbye friends

Ladies and Gents,
It is time for me to say goodbye to great state of CO, and more painfully, time to say goodbye to a lot of friends that I have met here. My branch have decided that it is time to move to bigger and better things (or so they say), so I will be moving to TX within the next few weeks.
I've really had a great time meeting with some of you whether it was for shooting or for a FTF transaction, and I am really proud to be a part of this community in which I will continue to be a part of it, even from afar. I do consider everyone in this forum my friend, so if you ever come down to the Hood please don't hesitate to give me a holler.
Thanks for everything that you all have done for me, because I have learned a little from everyone here everyday!![Beer]

Good luck, at least not across country.
I'm sure a few folks would use hog hunting for excuse to visit if you find some good spots.
I love Texas also. Lots to do. I'm sure you can make a happy home out there.

Ginsue,

There are flying roaches in Texas. Bring a very, very large flyswatter.

Well Welcome to Texas! We're glad to have ya!
Can't tell you how many times I heard that after moving here in March (I live 30 miles north of Ft. Worth near Texas Motor Speedway).
Texas is full of great people and even greater food. We just elected another Republican Governor so we're safe from the Austin area crowd for a few more years.
Despite common beliefs (mine included before I moved here), there's lots of purdy scenery in Texas. It's not full of 14ers but if you can put that aside, you can really enjoy the state. We have ice storms, and Texas is horrible about taking care of their roads when the weather is foul, but when it was -14 overnight in CO a couple of weeks ago, it was still just a balmy 37 overnight here. There are definitely trade-offs.
My wife and I like to go to the trade show weekends in the various counties and towns. There's lots of junk to be found but also a good many firearms (old and new) to be had without jumping through the same hoops CO enacted last year. Also, it's nice to walk into Cabela's or Academy or Bass Pro and just grab a few 30-round mags off the shelf :D

My wife is recovering from surgery (nothing serious) but for sure we should get together and throw down a beer and send some rounds down range (not necessarily in that order and definitely not at the same time :D ).
I just bought a lefty Stag 2 and FN 1922 that need to see some action so a shooting trip is definitely on the "must do" list before I go insane. We need to chat about gun ranges here because I'm still trying to find my way around them (I'll PM you my email address so we don't highjack the thread too much).
Cheers,
John

Thanks for the good wishes...but no thanks for reminding me about the roaches. I don't mind them much, but I think that the wife will shit a ton of bricks when she sees them.
