About 35 years ago, one of our little local banks had a unique alarm system. If it was set off, it turned on a police style "bubble gum" light on the top of the bank building, and also rang a bell in the little grocery store close by. The elderly grocer had instructions to only observe the happenings, take appropriate notes, and call the police - absolutely NO attempted heroics. One morning the alarm went off, and the old grocer observed the suspects, got the license number and description of their car, and noted that the male was carrying what looked like a fully automatic rifle. That afternoon a deputy in a helicopter spotted the car and in the pursuit, the suspect rolled it in a ditch. He had a hostage by then, and he left the car with the hostage and the "fully automatic rifle". The female hostage couldn't stay on her feet in the muddy field. The guy decided to run without her and the deputy shot him and he went down. The deputy said, "He moved, and I shot him again". He wasn't about to let him get that "fully automatic rifle" in the game. Turned out the "fully automatic rifle" was a Ruger 10-22 with a military look-alike kit. Not to minimize the danger, but clearly not the firepower that it appeared to be. A lesson for all would-be crooks. If it looks like it's "fully automatic", there's a possibility that they'll only stop shooting when you quit moving.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
