Setting on the edge of the bed getting dressed and ready to hit the road. From Central MO. to Osceola Arkansas. Crop ins. agent training. Next day I was standing in a cotton field in Arkansas and just staring at the sky in disbelief. We were not that far from Memphis, and the lack of jet contrails or aircraft noise was unreal. Bright blue sky, huge, flat fields and from horizon to horizon not a plane in the sky.
We took a break on 9-11, from the meeting, cause one of the agents wives came in and said that if you wanted gas you had better get in line across the street. Price had already gone up thrity or forty cents and folks were lining up. I went and filled the company truck, and the other folks rental car.
The trainers had flown to Little Rock from Manhattan Kansas. So when we were done, I had to follow them to Little Rock. Car rental agency would not let them have a rental car over the phone.

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.
