All I can say is that I am ever so glad that my first experiences with black powder were much less traumatic.
I do kinda quiver a bit when I think back to a time when a friend was helping me fill a flask, or maybe I was helping him fill his flask.  We were both standing there, calm as can be, one of us had a can of Fffg and the other had the flask, and powder is pouring into it, and we are both standing there smoking cigarettes. :Doh!  Not quite the smartest thing we could have been doing.  One more reason I know that God loves me.  Thank you Lord. :pray:
And Hawken, you tell one heck of a good story.
Thanks,
John
