I just wanted to take a little time this morning to express my gratitude to all the members of the GTA.
The GTA Family and the airgun hobby has been a lifesaver for me during this extremely bad economic time. A few times over the last 2 years, I was really scared that I was going to lose my home and everything that I worked for. My Wife also became very ill during the same time. The stress and worry has taken a lot out of me. With no extra money, fishing ,hunting, and shooting my firearms has come to an end for now. But the low cost of pellets and the ability to just walk outside to get in some trigger time really helps clear the mind.
I sold some of my fishing rods to fund a B26-2. I hope to start competing in the 30 yard bench rest competition soon.
Thank you my Brothers and Sisters for the friendship, and a shoulder to lean on.
Good luck, and good shooting, snookman
P.S. My wife is in remission and doing a lot better now, Thank GOD.

I know how you feel man! though I dont have any sick folks in the immediate family I have been unemployed for well over a year now and things are pretty bad.... but its nice to be able to show up here and learn and share what I "think" I know without people making you feel dumb :) lol!!!! Everyone seems to appreciate what everyone else has to share and thats a pretty rare thing on a forum!!!!!!
Not to mention all the help people have given with my "project"!!!! I wouldnt even own my own AG if it wasnt for some folks here!!!!!!!!

Wade,
Glad to hear the musings of those who spend a little time here have helped to lighten your load. God bless you and your wife. If talking on the forum seems not quite enough sometime, drop me a PM and a phone number and we can communicate the old fashioned way.
