19 years ago

19 years ago on this weekend EOT 2005 was held at Founders Ranch. It snowed about 1/4" and the Californian's thought it was coming a blizzard.

But, some of us were running around barefoot!

I remember seeing water dishes for dogs froze over.  Ice had to be broken before the dogs could drink.  I stayed at home and commuted to the match.  It was just another late winter match at Founders Ranch.  None of the ladies wore their soiled dove costumes.

2005  doesn't seem like its been that long. What about the wind?

And sleeted and rained and mud.

Dried the mud up pretty quick.

 

First time meeting and/or shooting with Half-a-Hand Henri, Dingo Dave & Sixgun Sallie, Charlie Bowdrie, Will Reilly, Constable Nelson, Cerveza Slim, Sawyer, Rick-O-Shea, Querita Kate... and that's all I can remember tight now.

I was thinking 1/4" of snow.  Sure seemed like more than that.  Then I remembered I was thinking about Smoke in the Valley.  EOT was cold, drizzly, muddy and if I recall correctly one person got helicoptered out with a broken leg.

That was Colorado Big Al, he didn't break his leg. He did take a really hard fall, and he was a big man.

1/4" is just a dusting , like frost on the pumpkin in the fall ,

Girl, I remember you running around on that rocky desert over at Stampede in Pahrump.

Doubt a little frost would hurt your pedicure.

That was my first EOT, remember it well!  SASS found out the weather in New Mexico was a lot different that time of year from what is had been in California.

Seems like it was more than a 1/4”. 
I do remember that a few tons of gravel disappeared.

Well, at least one.

Belle Drewry and I were married at EOT 04/27/05. We had a large audience. I had a ball and chain around my ankle and a monkey on my back. We're still married after 19 years. She's a good gal for putting up with my grumpy attitude.

I thought Belle married Louisiana Lightning.

It was too hard to spell.

Ass ass in is much easier and it wasn't taken.
