Thanks for taking time to reply guys. The thought of shooting these with the Boy is exiting. I guess we will get em about April and break em in before it gets real hot. Gonna need a couple holsters too.

Guys I am thinking about getting two new stainless 1911 Colts in 45 ACP for me and the Boy to shoot at the ranch. Anybody got any thing positive or negative to say on the current production models? I want to get these for us as he has been a real good boy, and I have been a REALLY good boy.

Went to college with a tiny Asian kid named Hung Lo. Knew a musician once with a stage name. His real name was Wackoff. Ouch. The Austin phone book for years had a listing for a Mr. Titzoff. Henauder Titzoff. What a handle.

Steve - My hunting buddy (77) has a new knee and they gave him a card explaining this for the airport. He keeps it in his wallet and says it is no problemo.

Good luck GF. A good friend, also a blacksmith, ground up a good bit of a thumb on a big 3 phase grinder. Another lost 3 fingertips on a 6in planer. Yet another stuck a 1/2 in mortising chisel through his hand. Working guys get hurt - lucky that they are toughguys. You have a excellant attitude.

You might just have a bad wire. The SURE 58 is the standard for vocal mikes, they don't break and you can't hardly wear one out.

Pitchy that is really cool. I was wondering - do you mill your own lumber for these projects?
Do you make the outside groove on the wheel on a router table?

Rock - Steady: They carry those big palm hats at Gibsons in Kerville. They are comfy and are about 15-20 bucks.

I use amber stain to antique bone, which will take the stain nicely. Plastic might take a little color with some experimenting - maybe judicious use of a heat gun plus stain might help.

I don't doubt there are many inexpensive calipers out there. A great tool will pay for itself - Starrett tools have always meant quality in my shop, and I have many. Every time I use one, I reflect on the fact that it was money well spent. I can't vouch for current production or not, the newest Star...

Rowena - When Grandpa gave up ranching he had a steakhouse/beerjoint there. I think they got some rain there and should be shootin birds soon in Lowake. The beerjoint is still there - the Turnrow.

I consider my Dyanaco 70 amps, preamps and F.M unit about as high tech as I can comprehend on a good day.

Pitchy are you familiar with an old time tool called a hollow auger, used to cut round tennons on the end of round stock? They are a cool collectable for woodworkers - I have only seen a couple in person and always overpriced. I may have to start shopping at Pitchy's Hollow Auger Emporium.

Hammer and Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie was born a hop and a skip from the ranch where my Dad was born and robbed the bank there. If grandpa had any money, it'd a been in that bank. If it rains I'll be shooting some doves there soon!

My Dad says they only had a .22 and a shotgun at the ranch and Grandpa would not waste bullets to kill the hogs they raised, but instead would brain em with a big ball peen hammer that he kept on the floor of his tractor (he was a big fella.) Dad thought it would be real funny to tack weld the hamme...

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys, the Lady is now home from the hospital. She is still in a lot of pain yet got to go home on friday.

I got word that an old friend (whose ranch I lease for doves) got a call from his daughter who was bit by a rattler while picking squash. It got her on the lower thumb, and they drove an hour to get her to town. 10 units of antivenom in the E.R. and many more in the I.C.U. (3 days) and she is now in...

I like 12g o/u's for doves, with 26 in. barrels and skeet chokes. I do most of my bird hunting in W. Texas, and the sad fact is if we don't get some rain soon (right) the won't be any dern birds to hunt. The quail are thick though usually. You fellas got to put a slice of fresh jalepeno into each si...

Thanks for the info CRS. I have thought about going for some stripers at Canyon Lake, but I am mostly a river guy, fishing from a Kayak with my Boy (9). We killed em (bass) on Wednesday and caught 12 fish in 100 min. including a nice 2.5 pounder on ultra light tackle - we were in the truck headed ou...

I don't think Horny Toads eat fire-ants, I think they mainly eat those big red ants (harvester ants).

Joe, next time you see a Horny Toad, lay him on his back in your hand and rub his belly - he will fall asleep instantly - a real magic trick for the kids!

I saw one in Tom Green county recently.

Years ago I watched my brother shoot the head clean off a turkey with his Mini 14 stainless/scope and then shoot another in the head. This was at about 50-60 yards. That gun jams BAD. I have the pic of big bro holding those turkeys one in each hand (one with no head) over my workbench in the shop.

Thanks for taking the time to respond guys. The Wife kinda wants one for taking road trips and such with the 3 offsprings. I am on the fence between these or a 4 door Chevy truck. Two of the three offsprings are long legged.

For all fans of "Gunfighter Ballads" try to find a copy of the obscure "More Gunfighter Ballads" - this is the album with the tune "San Angelo"on it.
Next to Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger" makes for some fine cowboy tunes.

Dpris: I too, have read your work and enjoyed it for years. I must say that the fairly recent piece you did on the Mares Leg in "Guns of the Old West" was as good a write up as I have seen in a long time. Read it 3-4 times. You bring Honor to your profession with top-shelf work like this.

CRS: The Devil's is a fantastic river. I used to be a catfisher till I discovered bass fishing - it is plum full of bass.

Blaine - these animals are considered exotic in Texas (no season or bag limit). I first encountered them almost thirty years ago while hunting a big ranch on the Devil's River, down close to Mexico. I was in a huge Oak tree and saw two biggins about 125 yards off on top of a tall sheer cliff - my Re...
