Sorry everything is delayed, there was an eclipse and other excuses.

Due to Lack of participation we didn't have a February winner, so I crowd sourced the topics and a random picker said the April Topic is "routine" Thanks for the suggestion Ajros02!

Also sorry for the delay getting the next competition going, I was traveling for the eclipse and while it didn't slip my mind, the kids and family got in the way. I'll try and do better, but no promises.
