Tom,

After the deadlines we will have a poll of all pictures submitted and you can select your favorite, top 13 vote getters make the calendar.

Here's what the poll looked like from a past posting http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,126420.0.html

If you know of a good picture, contact the poster and tell them to put it up.

is the calendar for black powder cannons only or can I submit a photo of the flame off my small calcium carbide "cannon"? I have a couple photos showing a surprising flame out of the little thing.

Any cannon that meets the criteria for this board can be entered in the calendar contest.

Is the calender going to have 1 picture or 13 pictures this year?

Double D · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2009, 05:10:50 PM »

Double D,

In answer to skip77's question, you have written, "Any cannon that meets the criteria........."

What is the criteria for this "Black Powder Cannon and Mortar" board?

I don't believe the gentleman's question was answered and he doesn't want to make a mistake.

He may assume that the board is for Black Powder Cannons and Mortars; not for carbide or Quaker guns.

Perhaps a reference to a sticky is in order?

Read the board rules! Spells it out pretty clearly.

We have allowed discussion of both carbide cannons and quaker guns. Additionaly we have accepted signal guns, punt guns and toy cannons. We have also allowed guns defined in writing by ATF as being an antique, signal gun or not a destructive device or firearm.

That's what I said but he wasn't simply pointed to the sticky. We can't assume that everyone knows how or where to look for everything.

I am still trying to figure out how some get more than one image at a time out of the hosted pics and onto a post. I'm also trying to figure out how some get more than the "6" images posted at a time. I read but I obviously don't understand or I am reading the wrong things because nothing works for me but that's O.K. because I always get my point across

Your obedient servant etc., etc..

Still time to post pictures. When I get up in the morning I will lock the thread and start working on the poll.

I hope to have the poll up no later than October 1 and close October 31. That will give me all Novemeber, to hunt deer, move my Mother-in-Law from Seattle to Montana and collect all the pictures and get them to Matt to be made into the calandar before Chrismas

New avitar .......!

carronader · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2009, 09:22:28 PM »

just an idea DD.............wouldn't it be better to hunt Mother-in-Law..........move all dear from Seattle to Montana............then fix it so Gary don't get in Calendar.............makes sense to me !

Double D · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2009, 03:11:01 AM »

Deer and Mother in law I can control. Gary making the calandar is up to you guys. Gary shared that wax gun with me months ago and swore me to secrecy....can't wait to see the finished product.

Double D · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2009, 07:24:08 AM »

Well the calendar poll is up. You guys got 45 days to vote.

It only took me 3 hours to create versus the several days in the past. Less entries and pictures in a more user friendly form helped.

Some very interesting photo's this year. Thanks to everyone who contributed!!
