Zorg

Ill try to get some shots of the actual piece at the range this weekend, especially ones with it goin "boom" ....the .64 balls are a bear to find, though, and Im gonna wind up getting a mold fer it. Most of my other powder pieces are .44 or .50, and those are simple to get hold of.

That's actually the catalogue shot. I got mine with the belt hook installed.

one more....they do really nice and reliable repros.

Live cats is always good.

Just thought I'd show ya my eagerly awated new boomstick from Loyalist Arms and Repair. It's a .64 beast circa about 1640.

Have just been reading "The Secret Voyage of Sir. Francis Drake 1577-1580" by Bawlf Based on some relatively new research. Absolutely fascinating.

Ah, Weekee Watchee....now THATs been years.... :)

I think old lincoln conts qualify as continental drift...... oog sorry...hadda be done.

Caviler Coup, eh Should figured youd drive one of them huge luxury cars....

I really liked "Polly wanna ocean" in the band names topic... Or how bout Crew of the ARRRRRRRRRRR!

Yknow, the pyratical land cruiser has a certain twisted appeal....... :)

Now we're cookin. Paisley, if ya wants, we can hook up and go down together...Probably should wait until a bit closer to event time to call that one though. So who have we got for campin? You, me, Stynky, who else is game fer this? Fill in the following: Crew of the___________________ (Crew of the underscore? that doesn't work....... )

TAKE US WITH YOU TAKE US WITH YOU TAKE US WITH YOOOOOOOOO um sorry. just tired of the snow flurries......

O course its not a sea shanty per se, but it should be checked out by anyone of twisted course. http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/

Cheers, lad, This ones on me

HEllava, If the campout thats in the making for Morehead works out, who might be interested in campin for the Hampton one as well. Anyone? Z

We should declare ourselfs a crew fer the purposes o this thing..

Awright, here we goes. Paisley, there bein a certain futility to all group activities, why dont you make the call on the campsites and let us know what we need fer reservations, etc. All I asks is showers. With our two large tents, we could set up a pretty hefty encampment. I think I have a propane stove we can bring. Ill probably come down on friday or maybe late thursday, but I drive a metro, so carpooling would probably have to be in someone else's vehicle (It be 0-60 in an hour and fourty minutes as it is... ) Ennybody got a nice jolly rodger for the campsite? Z

Ah,. the goodwill, source of most costuming, far as Im concerned. Lowes (and probably others of the home improvement store types) is selling leather work belts up to 3 1/2 inches for between $9 and $16 bucks. They're really solidly made, riveted and stitched, very dark brown/black leather. Only concession to commercialism is a small cloth logo stitched to the back which I had off in two seconds with my swiss army knife.

Eisner floundering? Terrible slap at a perfectly good fish species. Slime molding more like it..... Except the slime molds object.......

27th is lovely, lad. Fly us the address..... :)

Actually, the lot of Confederate equipment closely patterned 1850s French equipment as thats what we could get .... ( I knows this, Mobile bein an old stompin ground)

Theres a relatively new book with new info, both political and physical, entitled : The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake, 1577-1580 by R. Samuel Bawlf, Samuel Bawl Fascinating read, with lots of info on life on the Pelican, as well as some apparently contemporary sketches and descriptions.f :)

So Im lookin at some of these campsite websites, and on one of em I stumbles acrosst: Ooooooooh, consider the possiblilities.......

Paisley I am SO in :) Hey Lady B, BRING your dad. He'll either have the time of his life or we'll get ya disowned Now, I gots the tent from hell here, 10X19 feet, suitable fer stackin several pirates up like cordwood when they gets pickled enough. Who else gots what? Z
