Blackwater 53393 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Well in spite of our best efforts to make our first ever Black Gold Kitty's health has hit a bump in the road. Having a mass removed from her lung this Friday so traveling is out. The good news is they don't think it's anything malignant but won't really know until they run a biopsy. Ya'll have one for us and hopefully we'll make it next year. I would say take lot's of pictures but I know about what happens at BG stays at BG. Prayers for Miss Kitty!! Hope all goes well for her and a full and speedy recovery!!
Tn Tombstone Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 They have the yard sale listed for Thursday all day.
Cassalong Hopidy Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Hang with me Blackhawk and we'll make it thru together.See ya next week...........Widder Widder. Hope Blackhawk, Dixie Pistols and I get to shoot with you. It's been a few years since I shot Black Gold but I remember well how much fun it was. Tell Lassiter I'm Comin' for him with the pistols he slicked up for me. I know that will worry him plenty.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Hopidy, Shooting with you at the NC State was icing on the cake for me. And it would be great to posse up with you again. So many good folks that it will be hard to shoot with em all. I hope WE BOTH have a better outcome at BG, but if not, atleast we will be able to tell our grandkids a good story when they one day ask the question: "Grandpa, where were you on July 14-16, in 2016?" See you soon. ..........Widder

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 "Grandpa, where were you on July 14-16, in 2016?" Your more likely to be asked that question on the witness stand.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Your more likely to be asked that question on the witness stand. And that's where you denied any knowledge of 'Black Gold'..... ..........Widder
Rowdy Bates, SASS #62987 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Judge, right now planing on having a pair of Colts, 45 long colt, and a pair of nickel Laramies, 38 special. I also have a Cimarron 97, a Uberti Rem 44-40, and maybe a single six stainless Bisley. I'm looking for more, so who knows.
Tn Tombstone Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Waimea, make sure to bring some extra 45's, 200 and 180, probably sell them all.
ironmaiden Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 The yard sale is Thursday. Scratch, I sure hope you're feeling better. Palmetto, let Kitty know that she is in our prayers. I do wield a mean feathers, ah feather!
ironmaiden Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Whiskey and I will probably be there Saturday. Got to get things set up and ready. See yall there!
Complicated Lady Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Haaaayyyyy Blackwater! Is Milkbone taking requests? Been listening to Bob Segar
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 We got a couple of Seger tunes!! I think I heard that in a love song....... ..........Widder
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Widder!! Hang around Saturday night and you might hear more!!
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 This year, I plan to hang around. But with my hearing, I can barely discern most songs. Even at church, of which I am familiar with the songs for over 60 years, yet I have trouble recognizing a lot of them until after the first couple lines. I stopped playing my guitar (Ovation 12 string electric) about 6-7 years ago because my hearing ability makes it nearly impossible to pick up a tune. A lot of music notes sound out of key. See you soon my friend. ..........Widder
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 For those of you coming to Black Gold for the first time, you're in for a big treat seeing Blackwater and company play. These guys are "pros". I just got the last of my side match ammo loaded and now it's time to get the main match stuff cranked out. It's just a few more days until the best shoot in SASS!!
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 For those who have asked, I'm going to bring my steamer and stretcher so's I can repair and reshape a few hats. I'll have it set up Thursday and Friday evening and it will be first come first served until I run out of oomph. I'll be kinda' busy Saturday night as you might expect. See ya' there!!
Tn Tombstone Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 It is almost here, counting down on one hand now. Already have a couple of pork butts cooked for the early birds, got some pork loins soaking for later in the week. Need to run to the store for more food for the week. Plan to spend all day Sunday packing the 5'er and loading up, heading up Monday morning to help with any final touches Joe needs help with. Let the good time roll.
Titus A. Gnatsass, SASS #71705 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Well, had planned on leaving out today. So much for plans. Storm came thru night before last. Got 4 trees down. Got siding and fascia ripped off the east side of the house. Lots of rain slowed down the mowing. Had a flat tire on the mother-in-laws lawn mower. Had two funerals, one of which was my diesel mechanics father. But if all goes well, we'll be pulling out tomorrow. WE WILL BE THERE!
Marshal Fire, SASS 10064 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Leaving Saturday and plan to vacation on the way and see parts of Kentucky. ( Bourbon trail !)14 hours from my home in Northern Wisconsin. Will be my first time at Black Gold, I must admit with all of the posts about the shoot for the past six months I am looking forward to a good shoot and meeting some new SASS friends. Everyone travel safe and I hope the weather will be comfortable. Not used to life in hot and humid. Tried to practice in my sauna to adjust but my glasses just fogged up.
Tn Tombstone Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Marshal Fire, look forward to meeting you next week, the Bourbon Trail is great. Travel safely and see you all next week.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Marshal Fire, Safe travels. You'll love it at BG. Its really a great, laid back event....with A LOT of events. PLUS, Korupt Karl will be there.... ..........Widder
Titus A. Gnatsass, SASS #71705 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Marshal Fire, Enjoy your trip down. Save some energy, you'll need it! Lookin forward to meeting you. We're headed out this morning (Saturday). See you there! Titus and Fannie Kicker
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Doing a little last minute gun maintenance and starting to pack. I'm figuring on pulling out here sometime between 4 and 5 AM tomorrow. Schoolmarm will follow on Wednesday.
Noz Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 For those who have asked, I'm going to bring my steamer and stretcher so's I can repair and reshape a few hats. I'll have it set up Thursday and Friday evening and it will be first come first served until I run out of oomph. I'll be kinda' busy Saturday night as you might expect. See ya' there!! Do you have the correct waist line for proper brim shaping?
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Do you have the correct waist line for proper brim shaping? NOZ: eat all the brim (or catfish) you want and then loosen your belt for "correct waist line".... ..........Widder
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Do you have the correct waist line for proper brim shaping? Nope!! Looks like a herd of gypsies abandoned the seat of my drawers!! I HAVE figured out how to compensate for the lack of girth, although lately the loss of weight has slowed. NOZ: eat all the brim (or catfish) you want and then loosen your belt for "correct waist line".... ..........Widder I ain't been fishin' in years!! Brim always seemed more trouble than they's worth!! Catfish, however........
Turkey Legs #48384 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 A question has come up about the "Best Hillbilly Costume" - Is this for the whole shoot or just for Saturday night? Little guy coming with us wants to know.
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Finally on my way!! Car is loaded and all I've gotta' do is fill up the cooler with ice and fill up the tank. Schoolmarm's gonna' come up Wednesday. See ya' at the party!!!
Tn Tombstone Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Heading out in about two hours, see everyone up there. First round is on me.
