Just joined a band as a PERCUSSIONIST!

I have been playing drums for over 35 years. I have been in many bands and performed live on stage hundreds of times. On a whim, I agreed to audition with a local band looking for a percussionist. Never played percussion with a live band before; just drums. So I packed up my djembe, cowbells and a s...

I just bought a 4-piece set of 1930's vintage horseshoes off EBay. Great condition. I snagged them for under $20 including taxes and shipping! A small victory considering the thousands of dollars in damage sustained to me property during a recent storm. No matter what happens, it's always fun to par...

Re: Accidentally discarded a treasure

My horseshoe pits are built and I'm practicing about every other day. I'm trying different techniques. Just today I found a weird reverse grip that seems to suit me. Last week I learned a valuable lesson: cover the pits when you're through. Why? Cats will use it as a litter box and you will be clean...

Re: Accidentally discarded a treasure

Got a text from the local AMVETS the other day. They were short a couple warm bodies for the weekly horse shoe tournament. They teamed me up with an experienced dude and we won all three games! I had a blast! On the first game I actually scored THREE ringers! My throw is very inconsistent. I need to...

You know me. I'm a photo-tard.

My second set of horse shoes arrived today. Painted them earlier today.

I stopped by the local AMVETS and tossed shoes with an old Vietnam vet. He kicked my ass but gave me some pointers.

Re: Accidentally discarded a treasure

Two sets of horseshoes arrived last week. The Wife took a liking to one set and declared them HERS! I cleaned up and painted the remaining set. Today I ordered another set off EBay.

My purchasing criteria:
- Used
- Drop Forged
- Made in the US
- At least 50 years old

Re: Accidentally discarded a treasure

Most of the fun with any competitive sport is the smack talking, harassment, insulting comments and lame excuses. Horseshoes should be no different. No skill needed; just a big mouth and an even bigger ego. :D
