EASTER SATURDAY IN BLACK AND TANS

The Dragons and Knights gathered to gorge ourselves for Jesus Saturday, and to send a salute to Jeff with black & tans for sending us Vintage Macanudo cigars to share! Little did he know at the time he mailed them, and a neat ammo clip lighter, that Saturday would be one of the toughest days of his life.

As we raised our smokes and drinks to honor him, we knew that at that moment he was probably emptying his heart out at a gravesite in Texas.

Thanks again “our” friend for thinking of us, but it is you that need our thoughts and prayers now.

May God comfort you and your mom this, and coming weeks.

I just wanted to show you around Charlotte and Gary’s place Jeff. Their home is surrounded by acres of cleared land, not all of which is theirs, but they do have access to the fishing, hunting, and target practicing it provides. Often times you see deer in the field, along the tree line, turkey, and in the fall we sometimes shoot dove. Further down, Gary and a friend have created duck ponds and plan on countless hours of ducking hunting there this fall.

Note the huge grape vine, just one of many he has and you and Denise have already sample the bounty. The vines are already dripping their sap, getting a jump on spring.

Note the dog kennel where the couple boards up to 10 Labs they train each day, and their lovely home near Sweetwater, Tennessee.

As Judy and I arrived, Noel, Steve, and Gary were already taking turns shooting a target setup some two hundred yards away. If you look closely, you can see that Steve made the hike to retrieve the target!

Gary, formerly a Miller Lite man, has now become a “commonsewer” of black & tans (Guinness Draught over Bass Ale), although if you click on the link, you will see there are numerous concoctions to enjoy with Guinness Draft!

Note that Ron holds his proudly high so that we might capture the division of color present in a properly prepared black & tan!

So, here’s to you our brother…bottoms up!
