It is a strange world we live in today. Some teary-eyed jerk comes on my TV and tells me that 50,000 little children are starving to death every day in Africa. I plugged this into a pocket calculator. According to this moron's numbers, the entire population of the continent should have been wiped out before I was born. How can they still be there, and why would they stay in a place that is so desolate - IF........that were the TRUTH.
Then, another teary-eyed lady comes on the TV and wants me to commit to send in 37 cents a day to save the poor starving and neglected animals. Of course, this is all while showing pictures of mangy dogs and she is holding a one-eyed cat.
While on the one hand, I have empathy for my fellow human being, on the other hand, there are plenty of less fortunate ones here in the good old USA that are just as neglected and just as hungry.

And, lastly, why do these people have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce an ad and buy air time to bilk me out of my hard-earned money????? WHY?????

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
