Well, something like that MACTAVISH

But I will continue to be Big Brother/Sister and exercise restraint and see that everyone else does too!   :D

IF YOU TYPE IN realmactavish.com -  ONE OF OUR SITES. IF YOU CLICK ON 'SEANACHIE' AND 'WHO IS OUR SEANACHIE' YOU'LL SEE ME AND MY RESUMÉ.

I tried that site and it says it doesn't exist. I tried realmactavish.com and realmctavish.com and neither of them worked.

AVG antivirus popped up with a warning that threats on that page :(


Ok figured out what it was.  Suggestion, put the address directly in the URL bar to go to the page.   Don't use search, there's a link in search to the page that redirects you to an infected pdf file.

Our MacTavish is not really a loose cannon, but he certainly keeps us on our toes.  He just states the facts like any Scotsman worth his salt would.  ;D  I know I wouldn't want to be his enemy!   :o   ;D

Just states the facts like any scot. worth his salt? Hell no wonder Mac T. gets in
trouble. Though I was born a long way from Scotland I'm blood kin to five Scottish
families and family ties with four more, my way of saying things has gotten me
censored on the muzzleloader boards more than once. I shouldn't do that they said.
The Thom(p)sons have a temper ? I do not have a #&%*@ temper. Just ask my
dear wife. She will tell you what kind of  :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X guy I realy am.
A good day to all ;D

Good evening Mary.
I also shoot traditional muzzleloaders. Them *&%& inlines aint good for nothing
but stakes for 'mater plants.My true feelings. I own two flinters and one cap gun
that are rifles and three pistols, also cap guns.

Hey Everyone,
 I just wanted to get my two cents worth in about the games in
Estes Park, Colorado and Columbus, Indiana. I would posted sooner
but am just now getting over my battle with the crud.
 First, Estes Park! Extremely beautiful place. I lived in Colorado for
almost 30 years. All of my children and grandchildren still live there.
Barbara and I were only able to spend one day at the games as our time
frame was short. It was great meeting Booner. He did a fantastic job of
setting things up. Needless to say, our tent was very very busy. As always
it was good to see Tom, Harold and Patsy(hope I got her name right).
 Now Columbus, I was proud that Barbara's side of the family show an
interest in the games. Only about half could come but it may a total of
14  of us not counting Fred&Babs and Alan with his family. It was good
to see all of them again. The wind really picked up bad on Sunday from
hurricane Ike. Alot of wind damage everywhere.
 I like the idea of  our next AGM being held in Estes Park, Co.
Hope the idea takes hold. I had some T-shirts made for my family to wear
at Estes Park and Columbus and I think they whent over well. I'll be sending
some pictures  and a sample to Mary so she can post them on the web page as I don't know how to do that type of stuff. If anyone is interested
in having some, I'll get that set up.
Tom and Barbara
