Thank you fellows. Didn't have any cake here, so I took the other advice you gave me and wet to the range. Just had to see if that 80 grain powder measure I got off of Beaverman still worked as good as it did the last time I used it.  I'm happy to report it sure did.

Happy Birthday, Tom.  Hope it is/was a good one.
Yep, that beaverman makes some good stuff, but I didn't know it helped you shoot better.
Maybe I better talk to him about some good juju on something.

Thanks John. I agree that perhaps you should talk to Jim. With that measure and the powder horns I bought off of another gentleman on here, I'm almost certain to have a successful deer season. And I'm glad you had a nice trip.

Thanks Kees. It was fairly good one. And if I stick around to have many more, you've got to stick around to keep wishing me Happy Birthday. Deal?

You bet, Tom!  When we got married, Carol told me I have to outlive her, and her family has a history of living into their upper 90s.  I'm older than her, so it looks like I have to be a centenarian!  :laffing

Kees,
My mom always claimed that she would live to be 100.
She really disappointed me by passing when she was only 95.
So, I guess it is up to me to make it to 100.
Heck, I only have 20 years to go.  No problem.
All I have to do right now is get past this darn case of the Chinese flu and I will be set.
