I live near a small town that has some fella that moved from Chicago that was a stock broker or something. He started some local business group where, SURPRISE!!!, he is the leader and the members pay dues to...guess who? So, his office is on the main drag where a state highway passes through, and he doesn't like the traffic, especially the truck traffic, so he wants a bypass for trucks that stop in town and purchase nick nacks and stuff like that. He maintains that with a bypass, things will be better...by his office windows...for everyone, AND that the truckers can park their trucks outside of town, and the truckers can WALK into town to purchase nick nacks and things like that. Nitwit.
Back in the 1970's, then Indiana governor, Dr. Otis Bowen of Bremen decided that he didn't like all of the traffic through downtown Bremen, and built a bypass around it. Bremen grew up around the bypass around Bremen, and now there are pretty much tumble weeds blowing around downtown Bremen. Oh, there are some businesses there, not much though.
Downtown Bristol, near me, we have an autoparts store, Bristol Auto, a local outfit that has the parts to build just about anything from the ground up, including a bicycle. Yep, there's a lot of dust on some of the inventory, but squeeze between the shelves in the aisles, and its like going through a mueseum only in the sense that if it was manufactured, they probably have it. Tom and Barb, good people. Bristol, IN is a small town, and truckers are welcome to stop through or by anytime they want. That fella renting desk space over in the bank? I've seen them come and go. He will go in time too, and I will still be getting haircuts on Main Street, walking over to the Opera House, filling up at one of the two service stations.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
