RE: Powder question?
Yeah, I know man. He just made Major in the US army two weeks ago, and we went to the ceremony in Livingston, Montana. He's a very professional guy, my brother-in-law, served in Bosnia, Iraq and is getting ready to deploy back to Iraq.
You would think a mistake like that would be out of the question, but hey, he was only a leiutenant then. About the time he made captain, he did remember his rifle on an elk hunt, and ended up shooting a hole in the floor board of his new Chevy truck. Blasted the p--- out of his catalytic converter, and we had toduct tape it so the fumes didn't kill im' on the way back to Bozeman.
Anyway, when he made major, his Colonel asked me for some dirt on him. I told the guy about him shooting a hole in his truck... dude, I thought he was going to scream right out of formation and duke my --s, but he held it until the end. I got a little retribution later though....
