Lots of great things happening this weekend. R. Lee Ermey, a.k.a. The Gunny, is at Tactical Firearms (1200 S. Mason in Katy) on Friday and Saturday to help celebrate TF's grand opening, which continues right through Sunday. Most of the major gunmakers will be there, as well, and you'll even be able to shoot some of their new products. Also on Saturday, I'll be broadcasting live from Moody Gardens Golf Club and its annual Demo Day featuring the latest sticks from Titleist, Ping and Callaway.

After three days (Sunday through Tuesday) of dismal play at Dancing Rabbit GC in the hills of northern Mississippi, it's good to be back on more level ground. Hope I can relocate my swing. It must have fallen out of my luggage on the way to Jackson...when the handlers managed somehow to knock a zippered pocket off my travel bag.

Before or after Moody Gardens on Saturday, I'll visit Tactical Firearms to be a part of that grand-opening party. Speaking of...Fishing Tackle Unlimited swings wide the doors next Thursday through Sunday for the grand opening of its second megastore, 8723 Katy Freeway. Like TF's kickoff party, FTU's launch of the new store will include the latest and greatest from every tackle manufacturer that matters to Texas fishermen.

When the dust settles, I'll find my way to a pillow and catch up on some rest. Tough to do this time of year. Way to much fun to be had, and when I do hit the rack, all I can do is dream about big fish and birdies and.........ZZZZZZZZZZ.
