Born and raised on farms in Indiana. Did four years in the Army. Came back fome a few months, then an Army buddy asked me to come to Chicago and go to work at one of the trading floor exchanges, so did that for some years. Took an apartment near Austin and Lawrence not real far from O'Hare Airport. Lawrence Ave. was a direct line with one of the runways, so jets of every size flew a couple hundred feet over me and a couple blocks north. At first, was impossible to sleep, but got used to it. Did that about three or four years, mostly because were some real hot chicks and nightclubs around there. And, back in those days long before terrorists even thought of 9-11, could go hang out at O'Hare and pick up chicks on lay over. Life was good for a young single nitwit like me, at the time. Terrorists sure messed up a lot of stuff, for everyone. Them boys is out of their misguided minds to say the least. Then moved well south in another county to a town of 16,000, Romeoville, IL, long before terrorists and 9-11.

When I was stationed at Ft. Gordon, GA, were paper factories nearby. Now, there's a smell you never get used to. I can sleep down wind of hot wet pig manure, and that's a smell that will bring tears to your eyes. But the smell of wood pulp being boiled into paper? There's one you never get used to. At least I didn't.

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
