2013 Department of Missouri Muster

[Pitspitr]

I've also received the hostage target I ordered and been purchasing supplies to build a "moro warrior" target.

I spoke with Mitch at the Comstock Lodge and he said to tell anyone wishing to stay at the lodge during the Dept. Muster that he will give them a special rate of $85/night

[G.W. Strong]

I am very excited. I have been working on uniform and other supplies all year.

[Niederlander]

Completed another standing target and four kneeling targets today.  I'm working on a couple other projects as well.

Col. I can't seem to find the registration. Is it on the dispatches page or somewhere else? Thanks for your help.Al.

[Pitspitr]

  OOOPS
Thanks for calling this to my attention. I missed that and I'll get on it.

I filled out my registration tonight, in the mail tomorrow. Finally found something that I can cast quickcrete in for mortar shells. I figure line it with cellophane fill with quickcrete & dump water in. Hopefully will be able to pull it out. Pack a little newspaper around it & it should be OK. I will also bring my 50 cal mini Napoleon, & 30 cal mini mortar to play with.

Before we start shooting my artillery, I will have a training session on positions & shooting artillery in CW engagements.

I was working on the form and got to the meals section. I cannot remember how many Del prepares. My memory says the first meal is evening Thurs, then 3 Friday, 3 Saturday, and 1 Sunday. Are there meals before Thursday evening? I might be there earlier in the day than last year.

I plan on being there early afternoon on Wed, I have to eat so let me know.

The supply section of the commissary department is a bit behind due to the weather. 

I just planted green beans and will be planting more in about a week to 10 days with the goal to have a nice mess of green beans at the muster again.

More important, I just planted 3 40 foot or so rows of beets with the same plan to plant more in a week to 10 days to be able to hit the muster.  The goal of course is red flannel hash again since it went over so well last year.



Also I have a couple of interesting seldom seen today items in jars from last year to bring up and let the troops try out. 

[Sam Perfye]

Jerry, How soon/late will entries be acceppted? Just found out that vaca is on hold for Thur. and Fri. I may not know until Mon. 8 July. FFingers crossed, but it doesn't look very promising. Al.

Pitspitr:
I'm putting in for leave for the Muster.  I hope to see you the day before.

Delmonico:
I'll get with you on some farm eggs and sausage for the mess section.
BTW:  Do you have mess sergeant stripes?

This evening I read the most recent American Rifleman magazine. In it was an article about the Ross Rifles that the US Army bought from Canada during WWI to use as training rifles. It was subtitled "Better Than a Broomstick". When I read it I couldn't help but to think of you.

How's your grandson doing? Is there any chance you will be able to attend any of the Musters south of the "Medicine Line"?

[Delmonico]

I'm done with my first event this year, the muster is the next one, do we have any idea a head count yet, close is good enough.  It looks like Salt Crick Rick will be able to make it this year also.  I'm going to do $8 for each meal again, that will cover my groceries and gas which is good enough for me.

If anyone needs my address is:

731 Garfield
Lincoln NE 68502

Phone is 402-432-0339 leave a message and I'll call back, I don't answer for numbers I don't know but will call back if I have a message and number.

Also as always if anyone has any food allergies please let me know, I have one big one and that's why you'll never see a dish made out of moldy cheese.

Keep the fingers crossed for the beets, last year we were lucky anf got the tail end of them, this year it will be close to the other end and I do want to make the red flannel hash again, it seemed well liked.

[Drydock]

My son and I will be there once again.  This year he'll even have a Russian uniform! (Amazing what you can find on Ebay . . .)

[Mustang Gregg]

I won't make it.  I cannot get leave that weekend.
But I will be contacting Mess Sgt Delmonico with some rations issues.

Respectfully,
Mustang Gregg
