Im not a father, but I can remember being 13 fairly well(im 31 now), and the next hand full of awkward years. I pretty much despised him, and he was thoroughly disgusted with me up until I was 16. I laid awake wondering why me, and I heard him and mom discussing where he/ they had went wrong several times. Dad always encouraged sports, and I even had some form of off road toy from the time I was 5 or 6 years old. Not a ruff childhood at all. My rub was that he somehow managed to change anything fun into a job. Looking back I really appreciate him throwing batting practice for me from the time he got off till dark every day, but at the time I just wanted to play ball that sort of thing. At 16 or so old cars/hotrods gave us a common ground, but when I discovered girls in HS I drove him nuts, and about drove him batsh!t crazy when I discovered alcohol/partying in college. We really didnt get along till I was in my early 20's. Now I consider him my best friend. I even ended up being a rail roader like he was(something I swore I would never do. He helps me farm, were partners in a little dirt work/excavating venture, and generally I find any excuse I can to hang out around him and mom. I guess I said all that to say this. Don't freak out just yet. Dad was at his whits end, and I wished one of us would drop dead(i didn't care who) through all the whippings, and "son life isn't a game" lectures. It turned out I needed every last one of those whippings, and lectures to make me into the person I am today. Give him a chance to find his way, and help him from there.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. 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
