I barely made it out of high school. It wasn't that I can't do the work, it just BORED me to tears. I think I was 42 out of 47 in my class. Fast forward 20 years or so and I find I'm a freaking genius with my just barely got out high school diploma and military background when compared to the college educated, multiple degree types I found my self working with. The reality is that, unlike on TV, police work involves copious, nay, staggering! amounts of paper work. Part of the paper work involves creating a readable and easily understood description of what may be a very complex event. I had a knack for turning in reports that "read like a good novel" according to one senior Capt. Meanwhile I was sometimes tasked with reviewing the paperwork the college boys and girls would try to submit. It was awful! You couldn't make heads or tails of anything in the simplest case, it got worse the more involved the case got. Simple stuff like "there, their, they're" was beyond their ability. Trying to discern who said what to whom at what point and where was just impossible for most of them. Of course this was back in the days of manual typewriters and very early word processors. Spell check was a ways off and grammar programs didn't exist.
The point is, education doesn't equal ability. I don't really care how someone writes or speaks as long as they make the effort to be understood.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
