Mr. Completely March E-Postal Extended....

...through Monday, April 13! The March weather held down the number of entries, so you have another chance to enter the first contest of the year.  This target favors small calibers, tight zeroing, and fine trigger control; so I went only for the big circles. I bet you can do better, and if you can't, you need the practice! So get out and shoot! We are taking a stack of targets to pistol league this week and have some of the hotshots give it a try.  Click Here to download your target and to study  the rules.

Tuesday Turbo Boost

We haven't visited BachScholar for quite a while, and I am always energized by his playing.  He has moved from the West Coast to Northwestern Missouri, so Midwesterners can now get lessons from this Master in person.  Click over to watch this on YouTube, and you can follow a link to take piano lessons online.

And, here's a bonus march for you!

Summer Engine Season Will Be Here Soon!

Our friend Gary Bahre shot this little vid last fall at Pinckneyville. Apples were being ground for pressing into cider, and for cooking down into apple butter. All the engine guys are glad winter is over, and they are checking over their collections and prepping engines to show again this year.

Crankin' It Up With Our Old Buddy Brat: I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle

This is a good one tonight, and Brat really liked it; lots of tail shakes and strutting.  He had to get down to rub my ankles because Rambler was at my feet, and Brat had to do his share.  I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle was recorded by the Original Jazz Hounds in August, 1925. Hot Jazz!

April e-Postal Contest: Can You Skin Griz, Pilgrim?

Here's a timely one from Bill Donze; McCook's Mr. Bill

McCook's Mr. Bill

I enjoy poking around on YouTube, and just recently ran across this pleasant fellow.  He's been YouTubing for several years, and he tells a good story.  I think we'll be featuring him when I can't come up with a good post on my own.
