I visit the Shotgun World reloading forum often. Honestly, I don't really know why, probably force of habit and there are a few guys that I like and have good ideas.......BUT the majority of the posts are getting to the point where you can actually see why shovels and brooms will soon come with instructions. Like my 91 year old Uncle expressed the other day in an email, there used to be instructions in the owner's manual of your car on how to adjust the valves, now the instructions tell you not to drink the oil, gasoline, coolant and battery acid.

I AM THANKFUL for the membership we have here.

I am also thankful that I grew up learning from the greatest generation.

I too grew up and learned from the greatest generation.
I bought a new car a year ago. In the owners manual there was six pages of pictures and text on how to fasten the seat belt.

All that is to have a defense against lawsuits. Stupidity on the part of the plaintiff is no defense against liability.

This is a great group, glad to be a part & gain knowledge and wisdom here.

I also was raised by the greatest generation (my grandparents), and my wife to some extent. My kids have far exceeded my expectations…I kindheartedly blame my wife for that. I will say that I have a few 20-somethings in my group at work, and they do impress me with their desire to work & their skills…all is not lost. Though I recognize that they are the exception.
