Thanks guys for the well wishes. Yep, I'll do some bp shooting to celebrate, but in a few days. Rain today and tomorrow, dentist on Monday, so Tuesday might be the day to shoot my handgonne and also my latest toy, a golf ball mortar. 75 gr FF @ 45° angle, no patch or wad, [ Invalid Attachment ]  sends a 700 gr ball 80' high @ 98 fps and drops them at 100 yards in about 4 seconds. The vertical streak in the sky is the ball.

Happy Birthday, my friend.
judging from what you are planning as a celebration, I guess it would be fitting to say, "Have a BLAST!!!!"
And many more.

Oh my, oh my!  I'm late to the party again. I'll blame it on the rain we had the passed couple of days.  Hope it was a grea day, and wish you many more!
