Well, we're going to be there tomorrow during the mid-day, from about lunchtime on. I think I'll just pocket carry my 640.

I will try to be there fairly early.
TAM, I realy enjoy your posts. Woud be pleased to meet you you, and if you wish, introduce you to some of the performers.
I don't know any of the athletes. They scare me. If one of them accidently steped on me, he probably would'nt even notice.

Re: Highland Games in Arlington Texas
I sent you an email with my cellphone number. Hopefully you'll get it before leaving. We'll be leaving our house at around noon, and it will take us about 30 minutes to get there. I'll also put my cell# in a PM, just in case you don't get the email.BLG wrote:I will try to be there fairly early.

Re: Highland Games in Arlington Texas
Well, we had a good time today, and it was nice to meet BLG and hang out with him for a couple of hours. I got my fix of hagis, and then later, bangers and mash, and a glass of ale. It was a pretty nice event, and there was some great music being performed by the Kildares.
The athletes were all nearly as wide across the shoulders as they were tall, and great feats of strength were on display. My son wants to pick up heavy things and throw them now.
This particular event seemed like it was on a slightly smaller scale than the one in Orange County California that I used to go to, but I don't think it was lacking anything. Anyway, it was about 99º when we left, so I'm glad there wasn't anything more to see.
It was fun, and I'll go back next year. I pocket carried my 640 and a couple of speed loaders, which was a lot easier with the heat, as I soaked through my shirt with sweat. Next year, I vow to have a 340 PD by then, which will carry even more easily.

Well, there might have been alittle more to see. You missed the whiskey tasteing, that was fun and informative.
In the pro stone throw there was new record ; 44'8". At least thats what iI think I heard over the loud speaker.
and the Kiladres put on a 2 hour concert late in the evening that was even better than the afternoon set.
I was little dissapointed that the event was smaller than it has been in the past, but the economy is slow everywhere. Mr. McDonold still put on a good show when others have gone under.
I realy enjoyed meeting you and your family.I always enjoy showing people my favorie activities.
I had so much fun! By the time I got home and got everyone fed, I was worn out. Just now wakeing up, If it hadn't been for a rain delay, I might have missed the green flag at Pocono.
