Black Gold 2020

[ironmaiden 91]

Ok folks, the theme for Black Gold 2020 is” hillbilly luau”. Shooting attire- shorts and Hawaiian shirt or cowboy. Classic and b western please wear accoutrements. Now dessert must have coconut and pineapple. The twist- RUM! Oh, can’t wait to see what you bakers come up with. Good luck! Hillbilly style! 

[MizPete 1,230]

Can soooooooooooo do this.  Where we come from, Hawaiian shirt means cowboy hat & boots & Hawaiian shirt & whatever in  between.  Rum fairy, what you got?

 

[Blackwater 53393 4,939]

I guess we’d better learn some Don Ho!!  Just KIDDING!!

 

Are ya’ gonna’ do a pig roast??

[Titus A. Gnatsass, SASS #71705 168]

Is Whiskey Creek supplying the 'hillbilly poi'?  Wait a minute....maybe we don't need to be giving him any more ideas!

[Tequila Shooter 1,072]

Now that sounds like fun!  I can do the grass skirt, just don't ask me to wear coconuts for my moobs.  If I did that I'd scare little children and those with weak constitutions. 

[ironmaiden 91]

That’s all the info you get right now! Can’t ruin the surprises. Ladies can wear moo moos , grass skirts, etc. Hint- you might want to start stretching now.

[Crawdaddy 25]

How loooow can you goooo!

[ironmaiden 91]

Pretty low! It is black gold. Lol

[mean gun mark 64]

[Uncle Ethan # 94321 52]

I am already looking for a Hawaiian Cowboy shirt.

[evil dogooder 883]

Count us in.  I've got a coconut bra and grass skirt.    Hopefully shooting outlaw won't catch the skirt on fire

[Tequila Shooter 1,072]

I'm in!

[Blackwater 53393 4,939]

Ya’s all KNOW that I’ll be there!  I’m even thinkin’ about entering the dessert contest!!  

 

BUT!! My real goal is to shoot the match, WITH A POSSE!!  I’m hoping to maybe get ol’ Widder and some of the other Jedi will get together to put together an all Jedi posse!  Maybe even get my new friend Red Knee to come and join us!!

 

 I got to visit with the folks at the Tennessee State Match on Saturday and I told everybody to, “Look for me in the spring!”

 

 I aim to get healthy and get back in the game.  It’s not unrealistic to expect to carefully work my way back into shape while I finish getting my foot healed up and get some work in on shooting skills at the same time.

 

Christmas, Crap Shoot, Black Gold!!!  The next few months look REALLY exciting!!

Just to prove my  heart is in the right place; I'll drink to the red paragraph.  Just so you won't get confused, If you see me drinking it's not cause I like the stuff or found a bottle; It will be because I will try very hard to make the BLACK GOLD SHOOT.  I KNOW. I KNOW I HAVE SAID THE SAME THING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.  But this year...............I have learned the "get healthy dance".    Not familiar with the dance? lts the dance where you find a willing nurse (preferably of the female persuation {who likes to rassle} if you identify as male on your tax return)). Then you proclaim LOUDLY that some one hit you in the head with an unknown object and you have no memory of the day in question.  Hey, it worked for me for almost 90 days over the last year.

Miss Lorrie thinks my story is getting a little thin in some of the details, so good luck!

 

I am available for "story" consolation if you feel the need.

[Blackwater 53393 4,939]

Okay, Mr Noz!!  I’ma holdin’ ya to that!!

Hey Blackwater— You May have not always been healthy, but YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE GAME!  

TINY BUBBLES should be an easy number for you and the band!  Don Ho trivia—Did you know he was an ACE in the Korean War.  Air Force Major!  SALUTE!

Didn’t know that!!  My dad was a WOJG in the Air Force during that conflict.  Tiny Bubbles!! LOL!!!

 

And thank you for the kind and encouraging words!!

[Blackwater 53393 4,939]

I just had an unsettling thought!!  I don’t recall Sawyer ever holding a shooting school at Black Gold!!  This needs to be corrected!!

 

What about it, Sawyer??  You up to putting on a classroom this summer???

Why would you even mention "cowboy poi" this long before the event and give Whiskey Creek Johnson time to be inventive.   The real stuff is the menu item that nightmares are made of.  You know that WCJ will come up with something that will make poi taste like honey.

[Chicken Scratch 33]

we need a wave maker in the pond so we can go surfing

Wouldn't "cowboy poi" be grits?  Just thinking about it is making me hungry.

We must have photos. I envision Hawaiian shirts with colorful top hats and colorful framed goggles. D Bar J can make the hats for you.

 

PS I'd  to go to Black Gold; but, am unsure of Kentucky in July. Is it anything like So. IL in June? That I've experienced.

The smiles and laughter make up for any kind of uncomfortable weather you might find at Ponderosa Pines.  Anita and I would love for you to come to Black Gold and we're absolutely positive you would have a great time!

 

Oh, don't forget...

 

Southern ladies don't sweat...they glisten.  But sometimes when it's real hot, they glisten like pigs.
