J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 I've lost track of time, being away for the last few years. As the holidays approach, I thought it might be time to return for a visit or twa. So I've saddled up my mustang and headed to Toostone. I wonder if I'll recognize anyone, or if they will recognize me? Quote
Deacon Henry, SASS #53503L Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Welcome back! Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year! Wishing you a good journey! Quote
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 I don't know this fellow Deacon Henry, but he seemed a good sport as he welcomed me to the bar. I extended a hand and looked to the bar "Drinks are on me!" Quote
Yul Lose Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Welcome back, wondered where you were. Quote
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 I've been wandering in the dessert-that's why my pants don't fit Quote

J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 Thank you, but I think you may be confused- I'm not safe, I'm not even close! Quote
Calamity Kris Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Well I'll be. I just got finished paying for the windows that had to be replaced after the last time you boys got together in Toostone. I reckon I best get back to the Mercantile and count my pennies again, just in case something gets started 'round here.......... Quote
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 Good idea. I was just thinking of fetching a tree with my Acme Rocket sled Quote
Pat Riot Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Howdy J. Mark...Great to see you back. I am a recent getter-backer as well  Things are a little different around here...Bottles does keep the drinks flowin'...if ya ask nicely. He's a lonely barkeep though. Not many people requestin' his services these days for some reason.  It's good to see you back, Pard.  Pat Riot ...I do like this cool flag thingy... Quote
Smoken D Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Well dog-gone, lookie who came through them bat wings. Dang, you buying, I'll have a sasper. Any rattlers get ya? So, lets hear the story, what all's been happen? Quote
Tennessee Stud Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Well, well... how the hell are ya... J. Mark? Â Ain't seen you since I got rightfully pulled outta here... Â And before that... you pulled my glutes outta that grand jury deal with that conspiracy, two-ton sugar delivery thing... back with my uncle pushed it. Â I owe ya... Â ts Quote
Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Welcome back and Merry Christmas, J Mark! Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Hell, son, I thought you'd been drafted, abducted by guys in flying saucers, or were doing time for something. Someone even suggested you'd been shot by a jealous husband or boyfriend. Â Good to see you back and find out you're just like the rest of us. Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 J Mark ain't just like the rest of us folks. He is J Mark. Welcome to the SALOON Pardner. Bottles get the stuff with the three XXXs on the label. Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) I think I found us a tree!! There's a nice one over in Calamity's yard that ain't doin' nothin'! Â Â You reckon she'd mind??? Edited December 6, 2016 by Blackwater 53393 Quote
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I thought I heard some hoobeats in the distance! Quote
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 6, 2016 Author Posted December 6, 2016 Well, I haven't been shot lately . . . at least not that I noticed.  I had been blowing things up this past spring, but I've taken a short break from that til it warms up.  Drifted away from shooting to spend time with my teenaged sons while they still like me-that should be done anytime now I managed a match a year the last couple of years and I'm hoping to shoot again this spring (Heck even have my pistols being fine tuned as we speak)  Been playing with cars and motorcycles when I have time-and traveling a bit  Life is tough, it's tougher when your stupid-let me tell you-mine is a doozy! :D:D Quote

J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 6, 2016 Author Posted December 6, 2016 Better to ask forgiveness than permission-cause that has always worked so well! Â Heading to Calamity's with the Rocket sled. Can't find my axe though, do you think 2 bottles of nitro would do the trick? Quote
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Look what the cats drug up! Quote
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 6, 2016 Author Posted December 6, 2016 The cat buried me, but thankfully the dog dug me up. Quote

If you want to get yourself a tree for the Saloon, you best head to the forest and fetch your own", Calamity shouted as she stood in front of the majestic 30 ft. pine in front of her house, located next to the mercantile!!!! "This here loaded shotgun and my six shooters will ensure you won't touch nary a needle." Edited December 6, 2016 by Calamity Kris Quote
Grizzly Dave Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Howdy J Mark. Ol' Blackwater has kept some of us filled in on your activities, well, them what you didn't swear him to secrecy on anyway. Â Good to see ya, have a bottle on my tab. Quote
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 6, 2016 Author Posted December 6, 2016 Swear Blackwater to secrecy? Never! Wouldn't do a damn bit of good. Â CK, you sure we can't talk you out of that tree, would make a real nice spot for a pond. Quote
Smoken D Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 CK, you sure we can't talk you out of that tree, would make a real nice spot for a pond. Â Calamity usually passes out around 4-6am, then the boys can rally around the tree. (In a whisper voice) Quote
Calamity Kris Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 "Get back" Calamity shouted as she leaps forward with her shotgun. "I told you to stay away from my tree. Go fetch your own." Quote
