Yul Lose

Thank you, my goal is to try to build the next one better than the last one. Thank you and Non Stop says that cart will never see a range.

One of the Arizona Rangers security personnel, nice guy.

I met Non Stop a number of years ago at EOT in New Mexico and over subsequent EOTs I’ve got to know him as good as you can get to know someone seeing them once a year for 2-3 hours over a 5 day period or so. We kind of formed a friendship and last year at EOT we talked a lot about the Buffalo Soldiers and their roll in the old west. He showed me some pictures of some of the Buffalo Soldier artwork that he’s got in his house back in Texas. I had delivered the Blazing Saddles gun cart to some Texas folks the day before that he knew and I mentioned that a Buffalo Soldiers themed gun cart like that one might be pretty cool, he agreed. I told him that I’d probably build one someday. On the drive back home after EOT I thought about that a lot and working with a shooting pard of his, I got it built. The hard part was keeping it quiet so he’d be surprised at EOT, Misty Moonshine was kind enough to let me present it to him at the Grand opening Wednesday evening. I don’t know how it got omitted but Double Diamond deserves a whole bunch of credit on this build. The leather LOCAS, Regulator and all of the leatherwork was done by him. I call his work the makeup on a pretty lady, it just makes my work so much better.

Got to go to dinner with my youngest son and oldest daughter last night before the swap meet and had a great time. He lives in Pinetop, Az and she lives in Sedona, Az.

Main match day 2 is dawning cool (52 degrees) and no winds.

They’re all 9 mm

Decisions, decisions which one to trade for a gun cart?

I’m not sure if I can keep this going, the internet is so slow, that’s why I’m not posting much.

Gonna be a good day, Seamus left his phone at the trailer AND he’s wearin his old hat!!!! Yer it!!!

Besides being able to visit with a whole bunch of people that I only get to see once year my favorite part of EOT is watching the sunrise over the event as everyone is gearing up, whether it be here or at Founders Ranch in Mew Mexico.

St, Helena Slinger, Gunner Down and Wooden Nickels at Ranger lunch yesterday.

Main match day one is dawning and black powder shooters may be in for a bit of a challenge, no wind at all, unlike the last 3 days.
