RB 140 The 25th Man aka Operation Calorie

 Ranger Bill for midweek, April 2, 2025, is a bit of an unusual tale:

RB140 The 25th Man aka Operation Calorie 

Col. Anders notifies Bill that officials from the White House and from NATO are coming to Knotty Pine for an inspection tour of the entire district. The Colonel wants an honor guard of about 25 rangers to greet and escort the officials around to explain work in each of the many regions of the district.

Bill is in for a shock when he realizes just how out of shape his men are. Two rangers in particular are horribly overweight.

RB139 Dynamite and Music aka Stumpy's Harmonica aka Horrible, Steet Music

RANGER BILL for Tuesday, April 1, 2025, is 

RB139 Stumpy's Harmonica aka Horrible, Sweet Music aka Dynamite and Music

Stumpy’s harmonica playing is driving everyone at ranger headquarters crazy. Meanwhile, 20 miles away, a thunderstorm sets off blasts at Brown Brothers Quarry trapping several men. The rangers help the miners rescue the trapped men after hours of digging. Next Stumpy and Henry are buried alive by more explosions. They have no way of being located. Who can save our rangers from their rock tomb?
