I have been on the farm my entire life and I must have had calluses on my back side from riding on that thin fender of a Farmall M with my Dad. When I was eight years old Dad took me on a DC3 and I knew that day that somehow I would learn to fly. I first got my private license then the instrument rating and then the commercial license. As I look back after over 7,000 hours of logged instrument hours in the air it has been a wonderful ride and a tremendous goal to have been able to do this. It opened up a whole different world. I have been in and out of most every major airport in the US, Canada, Bahamas and West Indies. Many of the flight hours have been transporting Air Lifeline and Angel Flight patients which is always a rewarding experience. I have always enjoyed shooting a shotgun but never liked killing anything so when introduced to Skeet, Trap and Clay shooting I just had to learn how to be my best at that. Clay shooting can be a very humbling experience. Skiing was the most addictive thing that I have ever done and when I had both knees replaced the Doctor said there is no reason that you cannot ski but if you should tear one of those new knees up you are very limited on repairing it so that warning brought that activity to a halt. Of all the things that I was so Blessed to do I think that I have spent more time in my office reading than anything else. I seem to always have a book going and never seem to have enough time to read everything I would like to. About twenty years ago I caught this disease known as old Tractor and Implement Fever and have had an acute case of it since. I don't know the cure for it but my wife says when I pass on it will be in the obituary that the memorial service will be at ten o'clock, free lunch at noon and the auction will start promptly at two. She says that she knows farmers will come out of the woodwork if you put up a free lunch and an auction.

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
