One of the places I lease, and have now for some 35 years or more, was owned by my cousin. His dad died, and his brothers and sisters made him split the place up, and he ended up with about 60 acres left. He quit farming as he had with his father, and started hauling cows for local farmers for a living. He had a full line of machinery, and accumulated about a dozen trucks while he hauled cows, but the machinery sat for over thirty years in the weeds and brush.

The good machinery included a pretty full line of fast hitch equipment, and a baler that I was given for watching over the operation of cleaning things up. But I have to admit, it was sad to see the stuff sitting there, and having Jim refuse to sell any of it even to me.

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
