One of my best friends - Dick - has 2 big weeping willows and about 4 big cottonwoods that border his property. All of the trees belong to his neighbor. 15 years ago one of the willows lost a trunk and it tore off his electrical service and smashed the corner of his roof. Dick's insurance paid for it and Dick had to clean up the tree. 12 years ago one of the cottonwoods fell on his garage and smashed the corner of it right to the ground. Dicks ins paid the cost and Dick had to clean up the mess. 4 years ago another chunk of the willow let loose and smashed his Jeep Wagoneer. Totaled it. Same story -his ins paid and he cleaned up the mess. Last summer another trunk of the willow fell and smashed his utility trailer and left a big mess in his driveway. Trailer wasn't insured. Guess who cleaned up the mess? Dick has been to the city, county, sherrif, ins company and attorney general and all of them have told him that the same thing - Tough Luck The willows are multi trunk giants with each trunk about 16" at the butt. The cottonwoods are bigger yet and lean over his house and garage. It's just a matter of time... His next door neighbor lives in Austrailia and just rents the house out. No skin off his nose. It would cost several thousand dollars to remove all the trees and Dick wont spend that kind of $. Dick can not legally go on his neighbors land and cut his trees down. Dick could probably sue his neighbor and force her to remove the trees. The city, county, state will not. You all think I'm BSing or exaggerating here but I'm not. Dick is an old retired cop. A gimp with a permanently smashed leg. About the kindest, nicest, most patient fellow I've ever known. It is the strangest, saddest, darndest business I've ever seen.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
