Western, anyone?

Ritch sold out & retired about 15-16 months ago. I haven't been able to learn anything about the new owner or owners. I hope it's not another Western wear retailer. At 6'7 Ritch is an imposing figure & fit the bill.

Billings is a nice place to spend some time, in the valley of 5 mountain ranges. Lots of fly fishing & dude ranches. Billings would be a great place to have a summer home. Also if you're interested in nature & outdoor photography Nikon has a school there.

I don't know. Them damned Duttons are always beating up, shooting up, wrecking up, or blowing up something all the time. Luckily they only do it for 10 episodes and then they lay off again for a year.

Looking forward to season 4. They need all that land for the body count that keeps rising. I think they’re shooting entirely in MT this season.

My mistake but on our last trip we only stopped in Billings at the Costco on our way up to Miles City and Makashika. We were going to return and stay at BigHorn Recreational Area but the weather turned and we came home a different route. So now we are bound to return. Disappointed that the shop has been sold. I knew it was up for sale but didn't know it was a done deal. I will still shop there though.

Just then a messenger called me
Rasta man on the road
He said "You gotta get the rhythm of the islands
Help me carry my load"

Ear worm!

Yeah Mon!

As far as I know it's a done deal. The new owners have been at a few shows such as PBR Vegas last winter, & other cowboy gatherings. An employee tried to buy it but couldn't put it together, I heard.

Hi
Seems that they may be going out of business:
https://www.facebook.com/RandsCusto...a-and-i-recently-embarked-o/1438232503026681/
That's a about 15-16 months old, but no updates THERE anyway.
Hope I ain't right.

Thanks for those links. They help explain a lot! Happy to hear the health issues are not with the Rand family!

Great looking Bandera! Here is a Band View attachment 267264 era also a gift from Deadlyhandsome. Great hats, and a great guy!

I have a two ply that I was planning on using but my wife wanted the leather and the concho.

Speaking of Yellowstone. Got a new Mackey, all beaver Silver belly, in today. Open and flat out of the box. Turned into my version of Walker's lid at lunch.
Entire season is being filmed right now in the Bitteroot valley Montana just north of us. Been nasty as Covis has been hitting Montana hard recently. Hard here recenty as well.

He tried to get me to buy it from him. Too cold there for me.

First frost of the year so I broke out “El Cow Boy Suprema”. Don’t know that I’ve seen another longhair, western, Borsolino, but I like it.

Love it! What a great model name! I'll add that to my list of future band names.

Thanks for that @Yahoody. Fun to watch.

For the "rest of us" ...
