Here is my night shirt. Not sure if the pattern was McCall's or Simplicity.

It's fun to to to the modern campground at Rock Creek Station, shower, put the nightshirt on and then jump back in the pick-up and drive away with the tourist watching me get in and drive away.

I have a wool night cap but I only wear it in cold weather:



For River City John, note the nice mocs on my feet:,   Thank you much.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, You and Slim do cut dashing figures in your nightshirts.

[River City John]

A nice pair of mocs is a must when lounging in camp, or going to the House of Ease in the middle of the night.

Glad you've been able to put them to use, Del.
I've since gotten another pair that are a tad bit wider for my shoebox-shaped feet. Because of my weird, thick toenails that grow all directions (and a touch of gout), it has become increasingly painful to wear for a prolonged time any of the period footwear I'd like to be wearing. No doubt there will soon come a day when I will be shooting matches in moccasins.

Del;  An iced tea? Not a sasparilla?

Sir Charles deMouton-Black,
Delmonico seems to do enough damage to the sensibilities of Yuppies and other innocent/haven't a clue folk with a snoot-full of iced tea. God help us if he had spiritous liquors in him, as it would no doubt cause a national incident of no small magnitude.

You are right John, you should have heard the discussion at work today with a couple of younger co-workers who thin a gun room is a man cave.  See to me the term man cave is the space some tormented man, (read whipped) is allowed to go to or more likely is sent by his wife to do things like play video games or drink light beer.  

The the subject of a haver sack in no way a man purse and the "man" who calls one a man purse probally carries more than a pistol, camera and binoculars in it.  That is when his wife ain't carrying them in her purse.  

I'm so glad Rita and I let each other do our own hobbies in peace.

(BTW if we buy the house we are looking at she agrees black walnut trees do not belong is a city yard and it should be cut down and an apple tree planted.  She also said she don't care if I haul it's trunk to a local sawmill and store the remains in the attic for a few years.  I like this one better than the last one, she also has never bought me an ugly sweater and doesn't even expect me to wear one.)

A few years ago, when the NCOWS National shoot was at Hooten KY I wore my white cotton Victorian night shirt to breakfast every morning.  The next year Dr. Bob joined me

[Skeeter Lewis]

A night shirt is no more than an old-time shirt stretched a little. I'm making shirt #107 from Laughing Moon. Next I'll adapt it as a nightshirt by leaving off the collar and adding a fathom or two....

Not really a spiritous liquour;

http://articles.grandmasherbs.com/articles/Medicinal-Herbs/SARSAPARILLA-110.html

[Delmonico]

In the 19th Century the root beers such as Sarsaparilla, ginger beer, birch beer and such were mildly alcholic, but contained maybe 1% by volume.  Yeast was put in the mix when it was bottled and the action on the sugar by the yeast caused it to carbonate and also added a very small amount of alchol to the drink.  Small beer and near beer are beverages of similar alchol content made from cereal.

[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

Thanks Del;  I think I did get that there was some alcohol, but hardly what I'd call "spiritous".

[Terry Lane]

I started that rumor. I was there and saw it all.   I did two shows that weekend, one at the trailride noon break and another on the ballfield late afternoon. I think everyone in the county showed up for that one. You're right Del, those folks treated us like they appreciated us being there. We weren't allowed to pay for lodging, food or drink the entire weekend. That included at the grocery store, restaurant and bar. Take care.

Didn't know that, it came out of the bargain bin at the fabric store, $2 a yard.  

A little story about that night shirt, and a rumor.  Back in 2004 Gopher Grease and I were hired to cook for a trail ride, last one before the White Horse Ranch was broken up near Naper Nebraska.  We set up in Naper, pop around 150, they practically gave us free run of the town, there were retired ranchers, working cowboys, horse yuppies and everything in-between on that one.

They had a fine supper on Sat night, sirloin pot roast, bread, cobblers, and such.  We cleaned up camp and got ready for making breakfast.  When we were done that's where the rumors started.  See the rumor was I went to the Community Hall took a shower and walked down the middle of Main Street about Midnight in my night shirt, turned the corner and walked into the bar, got up on a bar stool and in a bar full of cowboys hollored to the bartender for an iced tea.

Not true, I walked onluy on the sidewalk.  Let me tell you, had I still drank I could have had a snootfull that night at no cost to me, them guys thought it was a hoot.  Wonder if they had not known me and had empty bellies if I'd have been welcomed like that?

[Delmonico]

Yes he was, most likely that is who started it.
