I met a milk truck driver who wasn't smiling but rather a very spooked look on his face. A number of years ago we were having a winter with a good amount of snow and were in the middle of a nasty blizzard. I left work a couple hours early so I could get home in the daylight. I had to make a left hand turn on the road to my house and there was a milk truck (twin screw type tanker) sitting at the stop sign at the end of that road, as I start to turn I see his window start to come down so I stopped and rolled mine down. How far you going he asked, not far I said I'm almost home. Well there's a huge drift all the way across the road just ahead he said. I told him I was pretty sure that was off the end of a windbreak and my driveway was just before that. He had a shook up look on his face so I told him again I wasn't going far and then I asked how big was it? Came over the hood he said.
When I got to my driveway I kept going the 200 feet or so to the end of the windbreak and I could see his tracks though the drift. He was traveling east and on the south side of the road, you could see in the tracks the truck had gone sideways enough that he was on the north side when he got though the drift. Given the blizzard conditions It's very possible that he never saw the drift before he hit it coming from that direction, probably a heck of a ride. I could see it and his tracks because from my direction there was a little protection from the windbreak.

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
