Congratulations!

Thanks Dennis. I plan on checking that site out and maybe learn something about what may have happened. I really wish you knowledgeable guys were here to explain things as they come up. I'd have a lot of questions for you to answer.

If you are reading about casting and such, go to http://www.lasc.us/ and read anything written by Glen Fryxell. He is a very knowledgeable man when it comes to casting lead bullets. He shoots mostly hand guns of the "modern" type but his bullet casting is the same as we use for our "smoke generators". Also check on the cast bullet notes logo at the lower right corner of the title page. Good luck in your reading adventures. You can get lost for hours learning about lead bullet casting.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Today is a money kind of day.  First thing that happened was I sold a bayonet on eBay, and then this.  I really think I need to buy a few lottery tickets today.
Anyway, no on Acapulco, not much for Mexico.  But, the Sierra Nevada mountains are pulling at me.  And Ms. Smoke's cousin owns a timeshare there.  Yeah, that's the ticket.  Lake Tahoe, here I come.
Or, on the more practical side of things, I just bought a new band saw and a drill press.  Maybe I should apply this to paying for those things?
