Valentine Song Festival! Dream, Everly Brothers

Hickok45: 1853 Enfield Musket

These muzzleloaders actually make a very effective deer rifle.  The repro that we have will throw the first couple shots wild, then settle down and group well.  You could easily learn to shoot deer to 100 yards with one of these, and only 60 to 70 grains of FFG.

Ruger's Auction To Benefit The Massachusets Shooters Foundation

This week Ruger is offering a Bisley Single-Six in .32 H&R Magnum, that was used as a show gun.  This revolver is marked with a U for Used because it shows a little shop wear from being handled, but that just makes it a good shooter for you so you don't end up with a safe queen.  CLICK HERE to read the full description.  This extra-cool revolver will sell mid-day, Wednesday, January 18, 2017, so go place your bid.

Valentine Song Festival! Stardust, Performed by Nat King Cole

Tuesday Torque: Pre-Grid Electricity

I read about this engine many years ago.  The Mt. Wilson Observatory needed electric power, and in the early 1900's you had to make it yourself.  An engine collector discovered the old Fairbanks still in place and put it back in operation so it can be studied by younger generations who visit the observatory.

Valentine Song Festival Bonus: My List Is Long!...

So here is a great bonus song.  I have more than sixty songs on the list in addition to the songs we posted last year, so extras are in order.  Here is Arlo Guthrie singing 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You.'  Wonderful!
