Over the years I've heard and seen some pretty amazing thinking that ranges from truely great to completely stupid (done a few of each myself). Two of the aspects of this that amaze and amuse me at the same time are the "That's the way it's supposed to be" and "that's the way we've always done it" factors. A good example that came to mind just this morning, is the location of the roll of toilet paper in the big bathroom. For the past 25 years I've lived here this has been my bathroom of choice. As such I tend to form things to my liking rather than conform to a "set of rules". Anyhow the contractor that built this house saw fit to locate the toilet paper roll on the wall that is behind the john which for me anyway is somewhat awkward, so I've always left the roll of paper on the corner of the vanity for easy access. Former wife seemed to have a 'simmering' problem with this. She finally one day stated "that's not where it's "supposed to be". Ok then, was it a perticular law that the contractor followed that put that roll where "it's supposed to be"? Or did he locate it there because it was convenient, cheap and easy for him to locate it there? Even though I've had to live with this decision for the past 25 years. I guess my question is how many day to day things can be done quicker, easier, more efficently and even cheaper if we were not to accept the thought that "it's supposed to be that way" and "we've always done it that way"? Granted many things are the way they are because that's the way they "gotta' be" whether by law or emminent destruction otherwise. So what is your "supposed to be like that" thought?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
