Hey Guys Just a reminder to get your meal fees paid to Delmonico so he can get his ingredients purchased.

I've been busy building upgrades to the facilities and I have a couple of new targets that I really think you're going to enjoy (or at least be challenged by

)

Delmonico · June 26, 2013, 10:40:19 AM

We'll go $8 a meal again, gas had me scared for a bit.

I'm going to watch the sales and it looks like a go for the beets for the hash and a good chance on fresh green beans again.

G.W. Strong · June 29, 2013, 03:41:16 PM

I sent mine in today.

Hey Guys
Can I get a head count for how many were planning on staying under my canvas. The teepee is needing some work and I'm questioning the need to put it up.

With the new targets, and the long range forecast showing the most pleasant weather we've ever had for the DoM Muster, I'm really looking forward to it!

I will have my own tent and room for one more if needed.

I'm fine in my bed roll, if it gets real nasty as in bad T-storm I'll sleep in The General as I have many times before places.

Set it up a little further from the cook fire this year, you look like a bug trying to escape the heat in the morning when I build the fire up.

And if the weather is nice, the Colonel can sleep in his chair.

Pitspitr · July 01, 2013, 10:25:31 AM

I plan to have enough firewood cut in advance so I don't need to get all over-heated cutting more this year.

Yeah but it's nice to show folks how much fun we have and how we don't get all uptight about the little stuff. I'm bring more Gatorade than last year and hope we don't need it. I about cleaned the Corner Market out on it last year, got all their green and there wasn't a lot of orange powder left.

BTW do you know if anyone is going to be camping at the motel in Taylor this year? I had a brilliant idea last year, one the way home.

We should have had Skip grab ice at the corner gas station just south of Taylor when he came in the morning.

Pitspitr · July 01, 2013, 08:51:52 PM

Not that I'm aware of. I haven't heard from Skip.

Delmonico · July 01, 2013, 09:15:43 PM

Not a big deal, but I thought on the way home is was kinda stupid of me not to have him do it.

pony express · July 01, 2013, 10:18:19 PM

Planning to get my entry in the mail tomorrow. Since my wife doesn't want to come this time, I'll be camping, but only have a modern tent. We can hide it somewhere, though. No need to mess with the teepee just for me, if there's not room anywhere else.

Pitspitr · July 02, 2013, 05:56:08 AM

Ok, at this point I've heard from 2 asking to use my canvas (that includes Pony Express) I have 2 dog tents and that would be room for 4 if needed, so at this point I won't plan on putting up the Teepee.

G.W. Strong · July 02, 2013, 09:50:12 PM

I still have room for one in my wall tent and I have the wedge tent I used last year that I could bring which will sleep one or two more.

Delmonico · July 02, 2013, 10:32:28 PM

If you have room, bring it, I may need some place to put a crust on a cobbler when it rains like last year.

Delmonico · July 02, 2013, 10:34:07 PM

Oh and if anyone has an extra cot, they should bring it, the Colonel is hard on them.

Pitspitr · July 03, 2013, 06:34:16 AM

Hey Guys
I haven't seen registrations from most of you (even some that I'm pretty sure are attending) Can you please PM me with what rifles you plan to use so that I can make sure I order the appropriate certificates from Dusty Tagalon (Thanks Dusty!)

Pitspitr · July 03, 2013, 06:40:48 AM

Oh and I've been looking at the 10 day forecast and it looks to be the most pleasant weather we've ever had for the DoM.

New cover for the cot is in hand so I think I'm good

Delmonico · July 03, 2013, 08:08:32 AM

I also need a rough head count and some money for the groceries if you can.

River City John · July 03, 2013, 04:58:32 PM

I'm shooting my Vetterli and Open Top. I only have 76 rounds of Vetterli loaded, so I hope that will see me through. I will just have to "give 'em the cold steel" if I run out

Delmonico, I was going to settle up with you when I got there, but I do understand.
Money on it's way my friend.

I'm also bringing some prizes.

RCJ

p.s.
I learned my lesson at last year's Muster. I loaded smokeless rounds this time, so I'm not turning my rifle into a smoothbore with BP. Col. Drydock, I'm using a 330gr. with 11gr. of Unique, lrg. pistol primer. Hope this will reach out to some of the distant targets (NOT Long Range) without blowing myself up.
