That first photo of the "Bohio" is a very good likeness of the traditional Cuban shack, good job !
-
I hope others will be posting their photos taken at Muster! (As usual, I got too busy ... and heat addled, perhaps ... to take any photos myself!)
-
Pictures, somebody, please!? :'(
-
What were the official names for the the stages? When I get this I will start uploading the videos. ;)

You asked for it so here it is. 2018 Brigade Champion Hawkeye Hefner!

It's a shame he took out the Sherlock Holmes pipe for this photo.
-
Btw, he mentioned a website where such truly delightfully awful eye gagging stuff such as this can be found. He needs to post that.
-
I've started uploading videos.

Yeah but he looks good doing it.

Highly debatable, Sir!

I do look good, don't I. :P

Yep, Hawkeye is wearing one of the tasteful offerings.

BTT, some great video here.
-
A few from my end.
-
And more.
-
But a 95 Winchester musket is such a good looking arm.
Shoot...…...the sporting rifle is a good looking arm. When I shoot it again I'll just have to practice with it first!

Btt

I found out what the problem is. YouTube has a stabilize feature that I was using to take out some of the "bumpiness" of the videos. This feature is not working properly all the time and cutting the videos short. Therefore, I will no longer be using the stabilize feature. ::)

No postings of our group photo taken on the front steps of the Comstock???
-
Hasn't anybody else got any still photos to post? ???
-
BTT. There has to be some stills out there somewhere from Comstock?

Is the cannon yours or does it belong to the fort?
-
The carriage belongs to our fearless leader Charlie Miller .... but the barrel mounted on it belongs to our group jointly.
Charlie is the chap directly behind the gun with a finger blocking only one ear ... he is a retired artillery officer who is pretty much deaf in his right ear from that ... so he only protects his "good" ear ... ;)
-
Bummer. I thought if it were yours you could bring it with you ;)

That would be cool ... although this gun weighs around 800 pounds as it sits .... takes a minimum of three healthy men just to load it onto a trailer .... :(
... and I wouldn't want to think of what my gas mileage would plummet to if I had to haul it to Nebraska ... :o

Pushaw! There are things worth poor fuel economy

Crossing the border would be entertaining. Even disassembled and strapped onto a trailer it would be obvious what you were hauling. ANYTHING TO DECLARE?
-
The Canadians are attacking! ;D

We got that barrel from Hern Iron Works in Idaho - https://hernironworks.com/cannons-and-mortars/ (https://hernironworks.com/cannons-and-mortars/). We had it shipped Coutts, Montana, on the border. It was an interesting trip to pick it up ... drove into the US and then back a few blocks to re-enter Canada, once we had it loaded. (Was going to say "loaded and secured" but the crate was strapped to the pallet it was on, and gravity alone was more than sufficient to secure the pallet in place on the rubber box liner!)
However, our crossing back into Canada was truly "priceless" ...
"How long have you been in the United States?"
"About an hour and a half ..."
"Do you have anything to declare?"
"Just a cannon barrel."
"Um ... er ... please pull around there, park and come inside ..."
We then got assigned to a middle-aged female agent who was convinced this couldn't possibly be legal. We assured her that the barrel was really nothing more than a big, heavy lawn ornament in the condition it was in (... i.e. touch hole not yet drilled ...) and that even once it was rendered fully functional it would be classed as a signalling device, and would be completely legal. She talked to just about everyone else in the facility (quite a few, this being a large, 24-hour border crossing), was on the computer for the longest time, phoned her superiors in Ottawa and also the Canadian Firearms Centre administered nationally by the RCMP (headquarters in Miramichi, New Brunswick) and finally came and summoned us back to the counter (we had been sitting down for most of this time) and, with a rather pinched look on her face, asked: "How much did it cost?" ... so she could do the paperwork for collecting the Federal Goods and Services Tax of 5% - there were no import duties, of course, because it was produced in North America ...
;D

Crossing the border would be entertaining.
Just the story of the first border crossing was entertaining!
-
Great story, RSJ.

Did you reply "just a cannon barrel", with a straight face, or that little Rattlesnake Jack smile we've all grown to love?
Great story!

Total "deadpan", of course ... ;)
