Congrats on your accomplishment.

The one I have is very much like the one in my avatar, if not exact, same color too.

(The picture I found didn't list the brand, lol).

Very nice, PT, thanks for the research effort! And there you are, in the Top 5, very impressive! Thanks for sharing the findings! Many familiar names (except for Deadwood Dutch).

Dutch is indeed missed by those of us who were fortunate enough to engage with him on this forum. After his absence was noted, Daytime Dave sent him a snail mail that didn't get a reply. Many of us are at an age when this is going to happen with greater frequency. Happy Trails, Dutch.

Quite a while ago, there was a lot of discussion about Deadwood Dutch amongst us members. There is the possibility we lost him, but not certain. Even with very determined and concentrated effort by Daytime Day to re-establish contact, we never did.

Check out Deadwood's "profile," especially his interests and occupation. He shared with us many great family and hunting stories, and was liked by everyone. He was a "Founding Member," and last posted on Apr 09, 2017. We miss him.

I was hoping that someone had his E-mail or Home Address to try to contact him.

But I guess that never happened.

See CT Shooters post above. Apparently Dave sent him a letter that got no response.

Congrats on your promotion E! As one of the “young” punks on here, I’ve got to have a coffee and then go get some work done!

E , did you get your new cowboy hat? I think all new cowboys get new hats. Right?

Tried for the correct math expression, not happy with result.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

No hat yet! I'm sure Daytime Dave is shopping for one now. Just FYI, I have a big noggin. 7-1/2 or 7-5/8, please. Brown beaver would be great.

Wynona has a big brown beaver... (The video has a lot of cowboy hats and sixguns. If any of you older gents watch it to the end, I’ll send you a dollar! It may be too strange for some!?)

And I thought you of all people (the borderline Portlandian) might make it through. It’s an interesting window into other folks worlds!

The drummer can't shoot.

Nope, the drummer for sure can’t shoot. Never been to Chucky Cheese. I did see those guys live about 20 years ago as part of a festival. The singer/bass player has settled down some, and makes some nice wine in the Russian River Valley now. Les Claypool is a true “artiste” (read: weirdo)!
