Incidentally, the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper (http://www.startribune.com/sports/ou...233612821.html) had an article today about muzzleloading and a comment in it was to the extent that Muzzleloading enthusiasts will drop their own interests to help a novice; I have certainly found that to be the case… They are a different breed and (in my opinion) a throwback to a kinder/gentler and yet tougher America…

On that note, As a frequent lurker and rare poster (and burgeoning muzzleloader enthusiast) I'd like to say I'm thankful for the helpful regulars here… cayugad, you are clearly one (and you get singled out for starting the post) but essentially I've found every regular here to be very helpful so consider this a giant slap on the back to really anyone with >50 posts to this forum… Thank you

Furthermore, I'm thankful for my wife and kids, warm food, gas in the car, my country (let's be honest, it may have its flaws, but it's better than any other option in the world right now), and my Savior.

I heartily wish a Blessed Thanksgiving to you all.
