Lady Hawk says, "14 HOURS ?!?! Dats all rat fer you truckers, ya do it all da time. But it's me and my butt I'm worryin' bout !! I got it on my "Bucket List" to shoot wif ya. Ifin' I can only git passed dis horsepital and sawbones visits stuff. Even da sawbones won't sign off on my DOT card, so da drivers lic folks won't renew my cdl, not dat I was gonna to use it any how. I got a car lic, which is just as good. Cood to back to drivin' a rig anyway. It is agin da law ifin' ya git caught, rat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Bout 10 hours is the most I try to do any more. Did 15 in one day back from Comin At Cha in November, with two drivers, still alot of butt in a car seat time. After we get this house ready and sold, and get a new place, that should free up some time and hopefully money, maybe we can meet at a match in the middle somewhere, maybe Iowa or Nebraska and get Taft and others to come as well.

Hey Pards! I drive 16 to 18 hours a day most days so a trip to Nebraska er Kansas ain't nuttin' ta me. Money wise is another story sometimes but with an advanced notice I think I could pull it off. Let me know if y'all wanna do it some time and I'll see what we can do. ~EE Taft~ BTW, The bad doers done did me in. Check out the Last Dance thread.

Grizzly Dave Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've wanted to shoot at the Powder Creek Cowboy in Lanexa, KS for a while, never have made it out. Bout 9 hours for me, 7 for hawk, and Taft I dunno quite where he lives, but can't be more than 4 or 5. If'n we worked it around just a normal match, it would mean less nights in a motel which is what really eats cash quickly. Or heck, driving that far one more night and shoot an annual might not be a bad thing. Lets keep it in mind, I reckon we can get 'er done at some point.

Willie Wheelgun Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Wish I was closer. Last time I left Rapid City for Saint Paul and then to Madison, WI to visit my employer, I took off from St Paul and stopped for the night at Bozeman -15 hours. Next day was a piece of cake. Bozeman to the Casa was only 10 hours. You have a great time and tip a glass for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Taft Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'd figure about 4 hours give or take. Heck, the way I do things I could take off late night/early morning make it to the shoot and drive home that night. However, if we get together there would have to be dinner involved so I'd figure on a stay. If we figure on late summer that might be plenty of notice and we would be more likely to catch cooler shooting weather than mid summer. OR......We could try for spring time.......... I'll let you fellers call the shots as y'all got more drive time. Keep me in the loop and we'll get together somewhere. ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Depends on what you mean by late summer.... mid to late august is pretty busy for me, have annual at local club, daughter grizz goes back to school. now if'n you boys wanted to drive a bit farther and shoot an annual here in Colorado.... September might be better, and a bit cooler and less humid too, I know Taft is probably used to that liquid air, but I can't breathe the stuff. Not to mention my life is kinda up in the air with the house, once it's on the market long range planning with be iffy at best. Once it sells we'll have to scrable to find a place to move to, I'd rather find a new house to buy and move once than have to rent and move twice.

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thinkin' along da lines of Sept., once ya sell da house. Don't think you'd want to go to Kansas still in da old house, do ya ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Want to and able to afford two are different things. The older I get I realize.... I still have a fair amount of want to.... not near as much "can do".... and sometimes falter on the "follow thru" September sounds good, we'll kinda work and hope towards that.

Dats bout 188 miles one way. So, ifin' I can do it here, I can do it to Kansas too !! My guncart was made by Outlaw Gambler. It's a smaller vision of a buckboard. Steel tires, a tailgate dat drops down, removeable seat and tongue. A bit heavy, but I also use it to sit on. Was made to handle up to 300#.
