That's an interesting take on the subject, Sixgun. Well put, ... I like it.

Happy birthday young man. Hope your day was special.

If he "takes the journey" before you; let me know. There are some things to do, to make "the journey" easier. I would like to do that for him. Friends like that are far and few between. Very nice gesture Mescalero, and one I certainly won't forget. Very thoughtful of you, and it...

GoatGuy

Nice looking ride! I like the color. Very cool, and I believe it will be become more than a just a "retirement toy" for you.

GoatGuy

Fine gesture. Fine man, 86er. God bless you and your family. Almost makes me wish my daughter, son-in-law and grand kids weren't coming for Thanksgiving. Almost! Naw, not really. Would love to take you up on some of your generous hospitality someday. Doubt that will happen as I'm blessed with two fi...

Lastmohecken - Congratulations! Fine rifle and really nice looking buck. Wish I had a few that size hanging around. Bucks are scarce on my little place. Use to see many really good ones here.

Awesome place and fantastic pics! :mrgreen: Very fine homestead indeed! :wink: Though buzzy is a cutie, Ok now, OMG what in the heck is that guard dog? What a gorgeous dog, he sure looks like a strapper! Is he Yellow Lab mixed with a St. Bernard ? Chaz needs a buddy and boy would one like that fit ...

Goat guy, sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I have a friend in Tenn that breeds and sells mammoths. I didn't take time to process well sorry. Having troubles processing these days.

Picture of Goatguy and me doing a little shooting when visiting him. :) Can you find the wind checker :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/InTheWind/trip%20to%20tx--11-03-13/IMG_1142_zps9fffb40b.jpg Yeah there was plenty of wind that day.

Wonderful picture for your collection. You always seem to find the good stuff! Thanks for sharing. A 92 and two 73's, all carbines? What say others here? I'm sure some will chime in with all kinds of comments about how these guys have to be "movie studio Indians", or native ranchers in tow...

GoatGuy

Well, double congratulations seem in order to you and your obviously "long suffering" wife. 20 years, huh? She must be an angel.

GoatGuy

What a treat! Nice folks for sure. Mrs. is delightful, a great cook and one not to let others help clean up a kitchen. In other words, "go tend to your rat-killin' and stay out of the way," but certainly expressed in a much more gracious manner. I really think she is a perfect match for ou...

OK, got it. However, I did spit on my keyboard trying to make the sound.

Not a hoarder Joe, but a smart fellow in doing so! :wink: +1 :D I'm a "brass whore", and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'll pick up anything not tied down or claimed by the rightful shooter. Have done this all my shooting life. Sometimes it worked out that I eventually got into the caliber...

Rocky is 58 inches at the withers, ...if donkeys had withers. Largest Mammoth Donkey I've been on was 61 inches or 15.25 hands. Had to use a stool to reach the stirrup to mount.

Have seen a couple taller than that though.

GoatGuy

Six, If I pay for the plane ticket, will you come out here & buy my next truck for me? You bet Mes! As long as its your money, I won't have to do no thinking. So I can come out, buy your imported junk, bs some, take a mini tour of NM, stop down and see Griff, and from there shoot on up to Color...

GoatGuy

Nice! Glad you made meat this year. Scopes? Hey, whatever it takes. Of my multiple leverguns, have few without "carry handles".

GoatGuy

Perry - yesterday, I found one of my late spring born doelings dead, head caught through the fence behind our pond dyke. Can't remember how many times I've worked her head out of one or the other of our fences here since she grew horns. Her horns still weren't more than a 2.5 inches. Bless her heart...

How much longer 'til your burro grows into that saddle, and does he know that he has is on back-ards? :D - Brian That "burro", as you referenced him, would be really really p***** that you were ignorant of the reality of his being a 900+ lb, 14.5 hand Mammoth Donkey. :x Don't worry though...

Mescalero, good eye and quick to notice. Thanks for looking. By the way, that Marlin carries a Weaver 2.5-1 Micro-Trac, ...a great accessory for the 1895. Beautiful picture of that pair. As a lefty, the first thing I noticed (after the gorgeous guns, of course) was the lefty holster too. It seems in...

Yeah, I remember that post about your preference of "ATV's" for moving goods. At times there you might have also needed a trusty "pair to draw to".

This pair of fine firearms, (1979 Marlin .45-70 and 6" Stainless Security Six in El Paso Saddlery holster) was always my choice for a hunting/camping duo. Funny how things change from time to time. Don't know if they are still my #1 choice, but I won't be turning my back on them anytime soon. h...

Awww Pitchy, if she's batty it's no fault of her own. What wife wouldn't go a little batty with arrows flying all around your place. She's probably certain you're gonna come in one night without your topknot!

Like It! Hey rangerider7, some strange coincidence here. Your GGF's brand is identical to one which I had designed in my late 20's when I was dreaming of having my own ranch somewhere. It was a dream of mine as far back when I was an early teen. Wanted to be a rancher and planned to go to Texas Tech...

I'm an older board member and here's an experience I can vividly remember, and which most of you have only seen in movies. House call from a doctor .

Mescalero - Yes, the character in the book and the movie was based on a real person. I was introduced to Shorty about the 2nd day after I moved to Taos. He was a fellow about 5' 4", as I recall. Of indeterminate age, he could have been in his late 60's or early 80's! Quite a character, he spent...

If I was 3 decades younger, just might take a serious look at the old place. 3 and 1/2 decades ago I was living in Taos, NM. That was an interesting time in my life. Owned and lived in a 200 yr old adobe structure, previously owned by "Horse Thief" Shorty of "The Milagro Beanfield War...

Folks, thank you for all the replies, suggestions and recommendations. All were good and helpful. I posted my trials and tribulations somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Yes, it was a pain!

Read the post title: "Older", not old.
Surely if you're 50 + years old, you're older than all those younger than you, AND you've trod this earth for more than half a century. Sounds like older to me.

In Sept. of 1874 Col. Ranald Mackenzie and troops of the 4th US Cavalry discovered where several camps of the southern plains Indian tribes were camped in Palo Duro Canyon. They were able to defeat the tribes and capture about 1400 horses and most of the Indians winter supplies. Losses on both side...
