Less glad to see you with a 1911 in 1880s in Toostone, but hey it's better than a nuclear warhead I suppose hmmmmm... not sure I can fetch a set "Like Texas, in 1880" from my stock..... I'd need some conversions or maybe 58 Remmies. Maybee if i was real lucky I *might* have been able to grab a '73 Winchester but, more likely, I might have a Henry or Spencer. I like the Spencer. I always wished they'd made that in .45 Rim ( for SASS, of course ) no '97s of course. Mule-ear double, more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Toostone we'd have marveled at the fancy gun with the crazy slide on top and magazine. There would have been a few adventures figuring out how it worked. But that's Toostone for ya.

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I love my 44's. I was going to write that I carried everything in 44spl but when I looked it up, 44 Russian was the best choice. I use 44 Russian in my Colts for my main match gun and 44 mag in my Marlin.

Doc Shapiro Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Been a long day at that 4-letter word.... work. To be honest, I really like my job. The people are amazing, and several are interested in CAS. They were really interested when I told them about the books. Might bring one in tomorrow to show off. Now, what's Bottles up to on his train ride? It's about time he came home. But what's with that little wooden object he brought back? And a storm inside the 3rd floor room of a hostelry? There's more going on than meets the eye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog Toostone is an odd place. Don't be surprised if some .45ACP slide action pistol showed up with a LOT of ammo, or your .44 Russians suddenly became .44 Magnums!

We did a video once a year for the agent to use for bookings. Fun times, but it did get old after a few years of playing the same stuff gig after gig.

Blackwater 53393 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's a Blues/Classic Rock band. Twin guitars, sometimes two drummers, bass, and four part vocals. We've played fraternity and sorority houses all over the southeast and large corporate gigs like the CanAm Spider corporate homecoming and several Harley Davidson events. We've played the bars in Nashville and other big towns in the south as well as numerous S.A.S.S. events. We've been the closing act at every Black Gold Shootout and most of the Possum Trot events.

Blackwater 53393 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 VOCAL CORDS!! I am instrumentally challenged. If you ask the other members of the band, they'll advise you to leave off the "instru"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Writing for me is taking a lot longer than normal due to my right shoulder aches when I type on my Chromebook so I make lots of mistakes and spend lots of time correcting them. On top of that I am getting caught up in details...gotta get a move on to Toostone Utah Blackwater, I got one of those knee scooters a couple of days ago when the doc put the cast on my lower right leg to allow it to heal after the surgery. Those darn things are downright dangerous! Gotta be careful. I am not using it because of my shoulder but I will be. Bad design for sure. Be careful.
