Went to a black powder meeting last night and found out that CVA stopped making guns like that in 98. The breech plug isn't removable, or the little 'barrel' that the nipple screws into. And parts are hard to find for them but there's a few gunsmiths in the club that know how to fix them, most of the time.
Anyway, CVA is only selling more modern looking guns now, but there's about 40 lawsuits against cuz they pulled a sneaky deal and sold some with barrels that blew up. On the more modern guns, not the old Hawkens.
I've never operated a Bobcat, but I've operated equipment much bigger than it, within ten minutes of getting on it I could be changing the landscape to hide remains. :-)
Our neighbors finally took care of the mess in their front yard. We-Ping and Mr. Bojangles enjoyed rolling in the dirt.

The cats here love to check out changes around here, and all the places they have to hide and nap.
Big Balls got a nasty wound on his neck, it's pretty much healed now but since then he's been becoming a real asshole and harassing the other cats.
I expect all the cats to get along, if he doesn't shape up I may have to "Dexter" him.
You're one of my favorite chicks on the internut, so is the lady at REFUGE CREEK.
And I may be one of the few people on the internut that knows both of your real first names, and you both have the same first name.
DEXTER WITH A NICE TWIST.

Hello? Anyone home?
Don't you dare "Dexter" Big Balls!
Refuge Creek woman seems pretty cool, Billy. I read her blog now and then..
Sons friend had one of those barrels that blew up.......he ended up with facial burns.
I think you're a sweetheart, Billy.Especially the way you look after Helen.
Helen is a sweetheart, that's why don't mind looking after her, and I'm not as hard core as I seem at times.
If looking after Helen is my only redeeming factor I may be fucked. I hope there is something else I have going for me also.
Like, oh, I don't know, a good script?
Shit, there's millions of us taking care of others we care about. How does that make me special?
Is that Bobcat still next door? You could hot wire it and learn how to use it with a little practice and dig your lap pool.

Guess there won't be a new post here before I leave to go camping in the morning, see ya on the flip flop.
Have a wonderful time, Billy! Be safe.......I'll catch up on here soon!
This post is coming up on two weeks old, Dexter has done disposed of a couple of bodies since then and Billy has gone camping.
On the readerboard at the vet.
