Hello my name is Texas Sarge and this is my first post.  I have been reading the Barracks since July of '06.  I live in Texas around San

Antonio and would like to attend the Grand Muster in Oct. of '08 with two of my shooting buddies, Scooter and Jake Jones.  If you

would put us down for three bunks in the enlisted quarters that would be great.  The photos look great and will be looking forward

to next year.  Thanks

This looks to be the best Muster yet.

[RattlesnakeJack]

This looks to be the best Muster yet.

So, does that mean you'll be in attendance next year?      

[Major Matt Lewis]

I will do everything I can to be there.

[Sam Perfye]

Col. Pitspiter, Please put me down for a bunk in the barracks, or even a corner of the stable. Any place out of the rain will do. Looking forward to 08. Al

Gottcha Shalako,
How's a corner of the latrine sound? Naw, I wouldn't do that to you. A bunk in the Barracks it is.

[Pitspitr]

AAARRRGH!! as Charley Brown would say.

I just received a copy of ENCYCLOPEDIA OF INDIAN WARS Western Battles and Skirmishes, 1850-1890 by Gregory F. Michno
It is an excelent reference with information on even some minor encounters fairly close to my home I wasn't even aware of. It lists the fights chonologically with maps showing battle sites and dates in the front of the book and graphs and tables in the back. I got a "used, like new" hardback from Amazon for $17.10. It easily has to be one of the best values I've ever bought.

I've found so many interesting fights that lend themselves so well to writing stages that I don't know know how I'm going to cull them down to just 10.  Hey I know, anybody up for a week long muster with 6-8 stages per day? No, probably not. I guess I'll just have to save a few and maybe do a Grand Muster again another time.

Don't forget, you have to somehow have to get a chicken in The Battle of the Blowout.   Perhaps something where an innocent chicken has to be missed while firing on the hostiles.

I put in a request for three bunks on 10-19-07 for Texas Sarge, Scooter, and Jake Jones and have not received a reply.  You probably just missed the post. Thanks.

I'm Sorry Sarge,
I thought I had sent you a reply. Yes, I did get it and I have you down. Don't know how I over looked replying.

I forgot about the kitchen, feel free to bunk Slim in the kitchen if need be.

It is my intent to get Jerry the rough draft of the application for the GAF Shoot this weekend that way there is plenty of planning time.

[Pitspitr]

Slim,
I didn't know if you wanted to be in the Barracks or if you might bring Mrs. Silver Creek and the youngans. We might even be able to handle that.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Pitspitr,
It will probably be just me.

Slim

[Pitspitr]

Ok, well I do have you down for a bunk in the barracks.
