Rob,

What can anyone say to a post like yours other than:

"Thank God!! Amen"

An old friend and a new Enemy Since there was no great hurry to reach New Orleans, I took my time getting to Tucson. I traveled slow and easy so that Beau and the packhorse would both be in good shape when we arrived. In fact, I traveled so easy; I didn’t get to Tucson until the first week in Octobe...

Africa!!! Are you kiddin’? The evening I left St. Johns, I rode until shortly after dark. I didn’t make much distance, but I figured that Jim Houck and George Nimitz would be able to lead any pursuit in an opposite direction the next morning. I made a pot of coffee and enjoyed Ma Kimbrell’s fine foo...

But if I post it all here, y'all won't buy the book, if it ever gets finsished or published.

Doc Hudson

maybe if you'd been packing one of those ugly old English revolves in stead of a sexy Single-Action Army it might have been alright. It was that ivory handled Colt that put it over the top.

Darned nice photos lady J!

You have my sympathy!!! aI had tht stuff back in February, it hung on for three weeks. About the only thing that would setttle my stomach was Crystallized Ginger and Ginger Ale. Give that a try.

Back in 1983 Big mama and Big Daddy had to move into an apartment after Big Mama had a stroke. I don't much like cats but Big Daddy had half a dozen or more of them and they had to find new homes. I reluctantly agreed tot ake two of them. Not long after the kittens arrived, Nancy and I acquired a Hu...

As I made my way to the Double Eagle, Perry and the deputies rode past me toward the livery stable at the other end of town. I stopped at the water pump in front of Stevenson’s Mercantile long enough for a deep drink. I then washed my face and knocked off some dust before going on to the saloon. Whe...

Commodore Perry Owens was an historical figure. He was Sheriff oof Apache County and he did break up the Graham-Tewksbury Feud. He did this by tackling Andy Blevins and a whole houseful of of Graham feudists. IIRC, Owens killed Blevens, his brother and at least one, perhaps two more men and wounded ...

Thanks Gents.

That is part of 150 pages of manuscript I've completed in a longer story. In fact it is the first part I wrote.

I won't even try to convince anyone as to which M-1911 is best of all the choices. All I can say is that if my money hits the counter for an M-1911 of any variation, there WILL be a Prancing Pony on the slide and grips. If I spend good money for a Colt .45, it by thunder will be a real Colt, not a c...

How I tried to Save the Apache County Sheriff’s Budget Things were going well for us as August neared its end. Perry hired four more full-time deputies and three part-time deputies as well as a jailer. We were steadily gathering information on Andy Blevins. We planned to arrest Blevins a week or les...

I'll bet that rascal could eat a side of beef every weeek and still beg from the table.

If I were headed into the far side of way out yoneder with the intention of living off the land and not comin down from the mountains more than every two or three years, I'd want to simplify.

I figured as much, because I figured you'd be cheating as bad or worse than I would.

Doc Hudson

Actually Doc, he didn't specify that you could only have one because of a law in the original post, he just said one. I have, twice, been reduced to just one over the course of the years, and each time it was due to my own financial straites. I just couldn't afford any more. First time it was a 191...

We saw the commercial for it last night. My wife said: "How many times are they going to remake that story?" I'll probably rent it when it comes out on DVD. Joe To answer your wife, they will remake it ever ten to twenty years as long a movies are being made. After all the story was told,...

That is the only justification I can see for that blasted Judge. IMO it is nothing but a snake gun.

Doc Hudson

I'd cheat.

Some of my favorites were bought from private individuals and have no paper trail.

Not to belitle or detract from Miss Danni, but you ought to see Katherine Schmidt shooting a .500 S&W magnum revolver, or a .475 Wildey AutoMag. I'd bet that petite little lady would shoot that .450-31/4" BPE and come back grinning. I've never seen her decline a chance to shoot anything and...

Shoot the rifle some efoe you go to the expense of replacing the barrel.

Sometimes a pitted barrel will still be amazingly accurate.

Doc Hudson

I have a .54 caliber Renegade too. I paid $125.00 for it many years ago, and never regretted it.

Renegades might not be as pretty as a Hawken, but IMO it is as good a front-loader as you can find without spending a fortune.

Until I managed to loose my favorite fanny pack holster in a move, I regularly carried a4.75" Italian SAA in .44 S&W Special. Even without the fanny pack, i often carry it in a belt holster Even now, I occasionally carry a cut-down M-1851 Colt Navy Mason-Richard Conversion in .38 S&W Sp...

The Outlaw Josey Wales is the only movie that springs to mind that has more memorable lines than Tombstone.
