Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I don't know ifn some of you Pards have favorite Wire Pards or not but I sure do. and when they don't post anything for a spell, I miss reading their comments. Alot of folks 'make my day' sometimes with their post. Sometimes informative and sometimes not.....but nonetheless, I still enjoy hearing from and learning from alot of Pards. I always read post by Manatee, Phantom, Allie Mo, PWB, Cowboy Rance, Texas Jim Henry, Philly Slim, Deuce, MADD MIKE, Creeker, 'Wed Wiver Way', Fireball, Korupt Karl.......and the list goes on and on. But of late, I ain't seen much from AJ, Driftwood, BJT, The REV, and a few others. Hope all you fellers are doin well. I always felt like I was getting some FREE education when reading some of their postings. Thank goodness we still got Manatee and Phantom to help keep us enlightened. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi Widder, Thanks for including me in that esteemed group. I shot with BJT at a match last month. He's happily remarried and, I assume, too busy for the Wire. Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 WBB, likewise, I hadn't heard from ya in a while and was thinkin' of askin'... but didn't know who! I'm thinkin' of gettin' a haircut... and need someone to talk me out of it! And since I ain't runnin' so much military freight right recently, was thinkin' of goin' up to Yankee land... time for a nother visit... have to schedule it so I can shoot wid ya! WW, I've heard via the rumor mill that the Rev. was feelin' poorly, and haven't received an update in several months. Driftwood and AJ also hang out on another forum I frequent (I know, low standards); and I was meanin' to email AJ and DJ to find out what the problem was. Glad to hear they're just "busy" folks!

Wyatt Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks for the kind words Widder. I get up about this time every morning at this age, I'm sure some folks are in the same boat. No shootin today but Sunday we will be back at Ruskin for the start of the season. I'm excited to see what Chance Ramsey has in store for us..........YeeHaw! Sounds like you have a fun day in front of you..........enjoy, I wish I was there! Wyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hey Wyatt, Ifn I don't forget, I'll holler back at ya and let you know how the shootin went today. I'm tryin out some new pistols with some 3.5" Octagon barrels from Slick McClade. PLUS, I got me a souped up Marlin in .32 H&R that is runnin flawless. Gona name it 'Widders Baby Bleu'. Gona try and wring it out today. Later ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well, Howdy and thanks for the kind words Widder I am always afraid that some pards get tired of how pedantic I can get on the Wire sometimes. Alas, yes it is true, I have gone back to work so I no longer have the kind of time I used to have to take afternoon naps and spout forth on the Wire. Gus is our Boston Terrier. He was named after the Augustus McCrae character in Lonesome Dove. I figured a small dog needed a big name, and Gus was always very feisty. Here is a photo of me and Gus. Notice the intense stare, I think he has just spotted Blue Duck in the distance. Gus and me I hardly touch the banjo anymore, these days I mostly fool around on a button accordion. When I was playing banjo it was usually a 5 string, played clawhammer style. None of that newfangled, three finger, Scruggs style stuff. I also have a tenor (4 string) tuned an octave lower than a mandolin that I used mostly for Irish music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haircut?? What's a haircut?

OMG... transitioning from the banjo to the accordian! What's next... bagpipes?!? I sense a downward spiral from whence there may be no return!

BJT Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Widder, You have shouted out to some of the finest kind (save for one lazy loud mouthed cowboy writing this). And, in my opinion this thread was started by one of the best. The sad fact is one of my best shooting buddies lives 500 miles away and the other went and got himself killed. It has kinda taken the passion out of the whole affair. Perhaps I need a break for some perspective. Widder, I consider you the top hand. You have all the things I admire and wish I had, class, talent and a personality that just makes a body glad to be on this earth. Peace be with you. I hope to see you down the trail.
