Jocco's post about a shop losing (or stealing) your stuff got me thinking about this one. My good friend Dick worked with a bunch of guys who every year would apply for the moose lottery. There had to be 4 people apply together and if you got picked it was a once in a lifetime deal. So 4 of his coworkers applied for several years but never got picked. Then one year one of them decides he's not going to try any more so they needed to find a 4th guy to apply. So they ask Dick to join. Dick is kind of reluctant to go but they keep bugging him. So he mentions it to his wife, who's dying of cancer and she strongly encourages him to go. So he's in, never thinking they'd get drawn for a tag. But by golly they did get drawn. So the opener comes and they are up in the woods and they are just letting Dick out of the jeep by the stand they made for him. He gets out and looks around and says to the others "Say fellows, there is a moose over there. Should I shoot it?" Well they all go apoplectic on him to shoot it so he loads his rifle, takes aim and bang! The moose drops in his tracks. Then they have to figure out how to get the big bull moose outta there. So they hire a young kid with a 4X4 pickup and spend half the day getting it loaded and in to the local butcher shop to be processed. All is good. So back at work on Monday, Dick gets a call from the butcher who tells him there was a fire at the butcher shop and everything was burned to the ground. I don't remember what caused it. Dick is suspicious of course so he call the local sheriff up there and tells the guy; "Hey sheriff, I'm a Minneapolis cop so as one LEO to another will you level with me?" And the sheriff tells him the facts of the fire, how it is being investigated but it doesn't look suspicious at all. Just one of those flukes. So Dick the reluctant moose hunter loses his trophy and the only proof that it ever happened is in the memories of those who were there. And no, the DNR won't make an exception and let them go again. Once in a lifetime means once in a lifetime. And that's the end of the story.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. 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. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
