I have an extra camper right now. I plan on leaving on at Joes for a while so I will have a place to light when I am up that ways. Thanks! It will be a tough one to miss. We're almost done hiding. Hopefully I won't have to introduce myself all over when I do get back at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Found out that I need more surgery on the foot. Going in Thursday morning to get it done and get a stem cell graft. I don’t know if it will get me healed up in time to shoot, but I’ll be there to help out and do what I can! I’m really looking forward to seeing all my friends and finding some new ones too!! This is truly a “bucket list” match and once you’ve been here, you just naturally wanna’ keep coming back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tn Tombstone Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I was going to say that I was pretty sure that was us pulling you back out after you went in on your own and found out you could not turn around once you were under there. We cant help it that you were the thinnest one there at the time. Jake and Lefty had not arrived yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Survived the surgery yesterday!! Schoolmarm says that the doctor said it went well! I didn't see him after the recovery room got through with me, so I don't have any details. I do know that they did some work on the bone and that he performed a stem cell graft!! Yesterday is exactly one month 'til our Saturday night show. I ain't worried about that, but I wanna' shoot the match this year, (been two years since I put a round down range at Black Gold) and I'm hoping this will hurry up and heal over so's I kin stand on my hind legs and make fahr 'n' racket!!

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Blackwater, I know you were trying to retire from the hat shaping business. Any chance that you might be doing some hat work at this year's Black Gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Don’t know, Mongo!! A lot depends on what the foot does. I still have all the tools. If the foot is healed up to where the doc says it’s okay to shoot, I would only have a day or two to fix hats, but I could do it on yard sale day. Tell you what! If enough folks want me to, I’ll bring my stuff and do it on yard sale day at least!! Speaking of which, who’s going to bring yard sale items!! I’ve got a few items I’d let go of. Wednesday?? Who’s in?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc roy l. pain Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I plan on bringing a few things. Haven’t quite put together an inventory yet, but when I get back from EOT, I’ll Start gathering things up and give you all a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thanks, Cat!! I called to confirm my reservation at the Heritage this morning. I make one every year when I leave to go home. All set!! Now! If I can get this foot to get in the game. I follow up with the doc in the morning!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 If you need a room, I just canceled my reservation at the Manchester Heritage Inn. I dropped over at work a couple weeks ago when my back locked up and they hauled me out in an ambulance. I have 2 discs messed up in my lower back and the company decided I did not need to work for them any more since it was not a work related problem. I am now back on my farm in Fairfield,Il and waiting for my Cobra paperwork so I can see a doc about fixing my back. My son and I are going to miss being there and I suspect I will end up getting back surgery again. Oh well, maybe next year. Have fun, I know I will be missing a great shoot.

Copperhead Joe, SASS # 39162 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 It’s getting close folks !! We still have room on the shooters list and camping. Also the local hotel, the Heritage Inn said they had a few rooms available. So there is no excuse for not attending the MOST FUN SHOOT IN SASS!!!!!!!!!!

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Something that isn't made enough of that makes this shoot special!! Many former, current, and future World Champions shoot this match year after year!! I was on a posse a couple of years ago that had nine former or current World Champions, two or three National Champions, a regional champ, and two State category champions along with one first time shooter!! Before the newbie knew what hit him, he was surrounded by the most helpful, encouraging bunch of shooters he could have dreamed of!! You talk about an accelerated learning curve!! He found out quickly that he was one of the gang with all the rights and privileges of a senior posse member!! "The family reunion you go to where you like the whole family!!"

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Tombstone does a good job on these. I sat through my third one with him to support my wife and I still learned something new. It's good to take a refresher if you haven't been to one in a few years; some of the rules have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto Traveller Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I could have sworn I saw somewhere that the attire for this year was summer wear as in shorts, and tee shirts but I just checked the website and I don't see any mention of it. So what is the official dress code while shooting at BG this year? Cowboy or summer wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
