Deja Vous Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 stuff all the time.. lol. So, here goes... I left Riverside a bit late, and I was told the GPS would not get me there, the last few miles it would lead you into the desert to be lost... ahhh did I listen.. yeah, but I had to try.. lol. Anyhow, I had no idea how long it would take for sure, but JJJ's helped me out last night and so I kinda had a clue of about 2 hours. However in Deja Lost in Space time that translates into a bittttttt longgggeerrrrr... lol... I got lost three times, twice just looking at stuff and missed my turn and when I miss I turn I miss it for a long ways.. lol.. the last time was cuz I wanted to know.. lol Anyhow.. the place was very cool, they have done a wonderful job of rebuilding a old kinda town, made me feel like I had stepped back in time. Got my photo taken a lot.. lol.. Thanks ya'll but you will be sorry when your lense breaks.. and I took a few photos.. I will wait to make sure I can post them on here when Wolfees gets back from up there. It was nice spending a quiet day in the mountains, talking to an old friend that I had never meet.. lol.. Wolffees is a very nice man, a true brother and I really enjoyed the conversation. They even fed me...very sweet.. Walking the board walks and dirt streets of the past is something I can never seem to get enough of. Man would it be cold to live like that everyday, like the owner does, course he has a house too so all the modern stuff for at night.. lol... But playing all day was fun, dressing up and just hanging out with cowboys.. very coool......... On the way home I came racing out of the mountains lips glued to the water bottle .. and I saw the wind generators ahead.. Man what a day... The wild west, into the mountains and desert and then to the future... My mind said this is where I want to be someday.. maybe ashes scattered about under the generators up to the dirt roads and boardwalks of the past. Being raised too far from civilation as a kid I am sure did not help me much.. loll.. I love the silence of the mountains, the sounds of a stream, the blue of the sky, the warmth of the sun... course the company was very nice, they all let me be quiet and soak it all in from time to time. I was in heaven today, no doubt about it. As I sailed thru the mountain roads on to the freeways of life I was shooting photos with my cell phone and sending them to my best friend JJJ's .... and I thought, I am crazy .... cuz I am taking photos to make memories of things that are in my head everyday... and I am driving 80 while I am doing it.. lol.. Okay just kidding.. The day was nice, I hope yours was too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My day was pretty good. I started it out by sleeping way late, then got up and puttered around getting the snowblower out of the back yard into the garage and rounding up gas cans so I have something to feed it. Then went out to a fairly new outdoors store, whose sister store an hour away carries lots of reloading stuff. Well, they still didn't have powder in, don't carry shotgun wads, and don't ever plan on carrying shot. Something about lead being a commodity and customers wouldn't understand the fluctuating prices. They did have shotgun primers, but I put them back after learning they didn't have anything else I needed. Then picked up some new wiper blades for my Honda, dang, never did get them put on. Filled up the gas cans and then back home with some lunch. Tumbled a load of brass and watched some John Wayne movies. So generally just a lazy Saturday, it was nice. Winter storm warning tomorrow, they say 4-8 inches of snow, we'll see if that actually happens or not, but if it does, at least the snow blower is ready now.

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My day was just layed back and lazy day. Didn't do much at all, fer a change. But tomarrow, be doing some reloadin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah, I need to get serious about reloadin too, checked the ammo cabinet, only got about 300 38s left, way too low for me. After tumbling a load of brass today, I have about 2000 cases ready to load, or in varying stages of loading. As I couldn't find shotgun shell components today, I guess loading shotshells will have to wait, though I reckon I could go ahead and set up that new Lee LoadAll and decap a bunch of hulls. Though I imagine the 38s will keep me busy for a while on my rockchucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogwood Annie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well, I want to brag, uh, I mean talk about my weekend. It was a True Grit weekend. Saturday Monte & I went to the theater to watch True Grit. Sunday we watched the original True Grit. Oh, and Saturday night we finished Deadwood series. 40 hours of video. I wonder what Al, Trixie, Alma, Sal and Seth are doing now. Wonder if the doc got over his "cold". Hmmmm. I'm kinda missin' 'em all. They've been in my living room almost every night for two weeks. lol Deja, what a wonderful day you had!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadwood, one of my favorites. I know a lot of people didn't like the language, and you know me Dogwoods, I don't swear... but in this case I was fine with it. It kinda seems like they might have been pretty wild back then, so I sort of expected it. I am glad you are doing good!!! hugs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
