Found: A new pasture.
James Hunt:
Well TFS is down and what da ya know I found this site. With some of the same folks. With trials and tribulations can come personal growth! Allright and Howdy to you all.
NCOWS member with no posse in MI but I have made it down to the GLF&M Co. twice this year. Just don't have the heart for SASS anymore, shooting next to Hoppy who is trying to get 1911 performance out of his 19th century clone just isn't fun anymore. Really into the history and persona aspect of this past time.
My persona is a hunter of the mid 1870's, using Billy Dixon, Yellowstone Kelly, and O.P. Hanna histories as resource material. Shoot Colt SAA circa 1876, Colt turned rd. Barrel Pocket Navy (.38 LC) circa 1873-74, Henry clone, and turn of the century hammered long barreled shotgun (would like to chop it to look cool but don't see a hunter running around with an express gun).
Have a 19 y.o. mare that is just now learning to be shot off of, and as soon as my daughter gets her gentled down for sure with one competition under her belt, I'm gonna give it a try! I only call myself a horseman in front of city folks.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Delmonico:
Remember ta tuck yer pant legs in, this pasture has some of that stuff ya don't want to step in when it is fresh laying around.
When it gets dry we just pick it up and I use it on top of the dutch oven ta bake sourdoughs. (After lighting it on fire.)
Welcome Viata Mas
James Hunt:
Thanks for the advice Delmonico, I have always enjoyed your cooking adivce. Actually I do a turn of the century cowboy persona - probably more 1900 - 1920 actually. I have two friends who have a couple of spans of mules and a couple of original 1880's freight wagons one of which was turned into a chuck wagon of sorts. They put on Cowboy cookout's and I come along to make sure the civilians don't get kicked, bit, or run over by the livestock. One wagon is used to give rides around the place well the cookin is goin on. I serve food but otherwise they don't let me near the fire. It is great fun. The kids love the animals and there are some old 80++ y.o. boy's who - no kidding - actually get a little teary looking at the rigs. Amazing!
This is all make believe. We are no Cowboys. In fact once a mule got scarred and took off running around a small pond. I went to catch it at the other side and had a rope. The little kids gathered and were waiting for me to rope her, now I can on occasion catch a bale of hay from the ground if it ain't moving to quick, but not a running mule. I was only intending on placing, not throwing, a loop around her head after I stopped her, but these kids were yelling " you gonna rope her mister?" and a mother was saying "Now stand back and let the cowboy catch the horsey." Man was I under some pressure to perform and not dissappoint. Fortunately the Mule came to a slidding stop at my feet - thank God for previous treats - and I simply slipped the loop over her, my audiance in awe of my skill. That is my one cowboy cooking story.
