Waimea 821 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 To the Moderators: If this ain't allowed feel free to delete without prejudice. Some observant and concerned cowboys noticed that my website has mostly unavailable products and that I am selling bullet molds in the Wire Classifieds. Let's stomp out a few rumors and misconceptions. This will be a huge relief to most folks that know me. I AIN'T DYIN'! (yet) More important OUTLAW BULLETS IS STILL AROUND. I am replacing old molds with newer ones to make an even better product. With the pandemic a ragin' all around us and because of some personal health issues that caught my attention I decided to slow down a bit on the away trips. I can always be contacted through my Website. Texting is best. Email 2nd. Phone is bad. Can't hear in the shop. Too tired at night. Thanks for your concern!

Hendo 1,046 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So, a new line of Outlaw "ain't dead" lead comin? Or is this the "I am the walrus" promo? You could work this into a good ad campaign. Just sayin.... 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Badlands Bob #61228 1,968 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Glad to hear the rumors I started are not true. Actually, I didn't start them. I just added to them and passed them on. Just trying to throw the tax man off your trail. Looking forward to seeing you again so I can stock up on some more of those Outlaw Bullets. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L 469 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Good to hear from you Pard! Thought I might bump into you at the Darkness Double Header, but you were no where to be seen. Preacherman was too busy trying to keep an eye on me to spend much time letting us know how you were doin'. Glad to see you are on the mend. Hopefully, we will see you at the Ides. I still got squibby in my change purse for you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Widder, SASS #59054 8,004 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 How can the Moderators be prejudice against a dead person? How can they possibly delete a historical post by someone who longer exist? Who is this Waimea impersonator? Could it be 'Preacherman'? ..........Widder 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tequila Shooter 1,771 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Originally the following was written for Mark Twain, but it’s been modified for Mr. Waimea. In 1897, an English journalist from the New York Journal contacted Waimea to inquire whether the rumors that he was gravely ill or already dead were indeed true. Waimea wrote a response, part of which made it into the article that ran in the Journal on June 2, 1897: Waimea was undecided whether to be more amused or annoyed when a Journal representative informed him today of the report in New York that he was dying in poverty in London ... The great cowboy/bullet maker, while not perhaps very robust, is in the best of health. He said: ‘I can understand perfectly how the report of my illness got about, I have even heard on good authority that I was dead. James Ross Waimea, a cousin of mine, was seriously ill two or three weeks ago in London, but is well now. The report of my illness grew out of his illness. The report of my death was an exaggeration.’ 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scarlett 743 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Cowboys and rumors go hand in hand. Someone told me several months ago that they had heard I had “gone out of business”... I, too, set my website to show out of stock because I don’t want backorders when I’m not sure I can’t ship. I’m pretty sure that it was that other Outlaw, @Bo Dacious, who started that nasty rumor! Glad you’re alive...and kicking...for now anyway! Hugs, Your Buddy Scarlett 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Preacherman 99 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I can verify that he ain't dead as I see'd him for real last month, unless this is an update or a web villain causin' trouble.

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 1,045 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Dogmeat,A snow blower would help on that drive. That'uns a bit long for hand shoveling. Since it seems to be uphill, a two stage self propelled would be the ticket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
