callenish gunner

lets hope it's nothing but bluewater and fair winds from queens to halifax ....smooth sailin' capt!!! josh has been telling me all about your "adventures"

i was amiss when i forgot to post these shots of mistress silkie hopefully she shall pardon my error

aye lass welcome aboard ....and i hope ye finds a comfortable berth in this harbour .....we can always find a spot for another lovely pyrate lass in these waters

they both have their place but the slops are so comfortable when it's hot out ....you have room for air to circulate

mine are 30 years old i guess got them during the bicentennial for the waynes artillery company i was with then

we both got our shoes from fugawee .....the only place that had them in my size without paying through the teeth for them (14EEE) need to polish my brass buckles though they are pretty green after this last month

welcome aboard lass ...hope ye find this port to your liking ....and speaking of port i think i'll have a tawny port tonight

why yes it is ....a great site for reenacting

finally have a few pics to post here ... a few of myself and silkie

cartridge boxes were used on board ship as well lad ....mainly because you weren't always on board ship when you fought ....and why create a second piece of equipment to do the same job ......one if by land and two if by sea (i have heard that somewheres) .....no! one worked both places ...i load my blank cartridges in mine all the time i just designate which is a live fire round and which is a blank round and never load both in the same box at the same time

i am meeting with pete this weekend at ft. ticonderoga and he said he thought he'd have the prototype with him there.... so i will be able to give you a full disclosure even perhaps the pricing by monday ....so keep your powder dry and i will probably have several of these available when i come to pip

i usually recommend a cartridge box (a wooden block with holes drilled in it covered with at least a leather flap) with pre-made paper cartridges that are made with a piece of newsprint paper rolled around a dowel rod; to form the tube that powder is measured into the ends are folded over to keep the powder in and then you have 10-30 shots ready to load as you will a simple brass or even plastic measure can be used to load the paper cartridges the morning of an event an example from Godwins

i have no problem working with cascabel and braze or others with regards to safety ....i'm a staunch believer in doing them right the first time instead of learning from painful mistakes .... safe boomers make everyone happy

well with all the prancing nancy's in the pub we certainly know where to get the chum for to draw in the sharks .........but the lead poisoning from all that whitewash they are painting themselves up would be rotting their brains ...i'm sure would kill them first

grilled a few trout on the bbq with skewers of veggies (peppers onions and tomatoes) ....a couple of cold cyders and some frozen raspberry mouse

the earliest brown bess's were made at dublin castle around 1720 a little late but still close but it depends on what your intent is ....as to spanning from the late GAOP to rev war it would do in a pinch ...but since you have stated that you've wanted a BB for awhile go for it ....MVTCo is a good company and their weapons are of the first rate ....and you won't be paying the higher impost duty or shipping that you would from loyalist or others and they stand behind every gun they sell with very good free service policy

josh advised me you're having a bit of engine trouble capt. .....hope that clears up with minor repairs .....new york is not the cheapest place to have your engine looked after ....godspeed and safe journey to you all

a lovely new moniker for an ever lovely lass at this pub ....hope all is well with you lass

patrick as you have heard here you are what more folks should aspire to ...your kit is very authentic in appearance and period sewing techniques ....as you heard from the crowd there is no higher praise than that ...you are the epitome of an authentic looking pyrate ...i hope my kit will come to follow your examples ....i doft my tricorn t'ye lad

tis a dirty job but we're glad you're doing it ....since i'm not the most computer savvy m'self ...one question i have and it's a small one is there anyway to get more period type fonts on the pub ....having worked in military tech pubs for almost 30 years i have an aversion to sans serif block type and besides i think a pyrate pub needs a pyratical type font like say - blackadder itc or other script typefaces ....just a request

i might be interested in say 200 of said buttons

always looking for added stock for my pyratical emporium

glad to see the numbers swelling ....the more the merrier

with crowds around it's usually blanks ....some places have approved ranges to be able to fire live rounds .....but it's usually safe to assume if you are allowed to fire at an event it will be just blank loads ...and most better events have a safety inspection of your weapon to make sure it is safe to fire around the general public and will hold safety meetings for all that intend to fire their weapons....

sami has stabilized but her left kidney has ceased to function properly but the right one is functioning at 100% so she is on the mend but they will remove the affected left kidney next week ....but she's up and around as of yesterday and giving the nursing staff fits keep those prayers coming folks!!!
