Harkening back to the old Key West Threads... 1) Socialize with local Pirates 2) Teach history to the public visitors 3) Take the ferry to Fort Morgan 4) Die in a Pirate battle 5) See what the pirate cooks come up with for Potluck 6) Participate in a Tug O War 7) Chase the Bread Monger (whoever that is going to be) 8] Visit the "Goat Tree" ( make that, Christen the Goat Tree! LOL) 9) Donate something to and Buy something at the "Auction at the Mast" 10) Play the hat swap game after a few drinks ( now that I have a real hat)

Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Mercury crew will be provided meals at minimal cost. Edit [Sorry - if this was not clear - This is Mercury crew participants - we have limited cooking resources as we are flying in...] Breakfasts: Stynky and volunteers are cooking breakfast Sat, Sun. Sounds pretty deluxe with waffles, eggs, bacon, etc.. Lunch: there will be coldcuts, fruit, salad, bread, cheese, greens etc available for lunches I'm told the fort provides lunch one day, but I have minimal information on that so we wil be prepared if it doesnt happen Dinners: madPete and volunteers will be cooking Friday Dinner "Ragoo and Salt Pork" (i.e. mashed potatoes ,ragoo'd French green beans and a ham) along with bread and greens Saturday Dinner is a potluck prior to the auction, bring something to pass - there is a separate thread on the potluck Sunday no formal Dinner as it is teardown. We can provide what is leftover for cold cuts, bread, fruit etc... Please consider a $10 donation for each prepared meal for breakfast and dinner (i.e. $30 total). We're hoping this covers lunch costs as well without additional $. Please let madPete know which meals you are interested in so we can plan numbers. Payable at the fort only.

Sounds interesting! I'm not ruling it out but I'm on the other side of the country. So flights, rental cars etc... require an established event for that kind of outlay. -
got it and added to the list!

And we owe him thanks big time... powder has gone way up, i think its closer to $30-35 a can now
-
Chris made some cartridge rolls as well! Much safer loading on the field this way.

Wow. I have so much sweat equity and experimentation time in this I almost dont want to share it, so I'm abbreviating it here... You need the kit in the picture. They are $40-$70 depending where you get it. Mine was around $40 on Ebay. I bought the 1-1/8 inch tap kit. When tapping the hole use a liberal amount of tung oil or some equal kind of lubricant. Soak the ends of the dowels in tung oil for 10 minutes before threading those. Go slow and smooth.
-
It's half-pint sized too!
-
$20 a can. He has 3 cans of 3F and 1 of reenactor grade (mixed 2F/3f). He needs one can for himself so we can get up to 3 cans if needed...
-
LOL and I never made them before! There's enough parts to make 1 more, but another one wont fit in the box for the implements. Maybe I can assemble it there if I take the ends off and fit it in one of the duffels. I'm not sure how to get them back unless we stop at the post office which might be tight on Monday morning before the flight. Maybe we could auction 1 off in the dead man's auction and then dis-assemble the other two for duffel bag If I'm not over the weight limit.

Wow. I thought I posted another pic of the 2nd completed one last week. I dont see it here tho. Maybe I put it in the wrong thread... I was searching for a specific size Oak dowel, which I never found, so I got one a bit larger and whittled it down for the Metal ends. We have two completed. I was going to ship these to Chris along with the Cannon implements for Brien's friend. Was just waiting til we were a bit closer to the date to ship them...

I believe it was $20-25 for a can. I'll have to check with him I dont recall
