Interesting topic. Maybe you would like to hear from a 70 year old, gun owning, tractor driving (3 JD's) retired doctor who checks this forum most days. In my first year in practice, I unsuccessfully tried to care for the 2 year old whose daddy backed over her head with his tractor. Not long afterwards, a 9 year old whose foot was cut off by the barn cleaner chain. And later a 2 year old fatally shot by a five year old brother playing with loaded rife kept by the door "just in case." So yes, I am real interested in how and where guns are stored and how kids and machines interact. I never ask about gun ownership because the government tells me to and I don't report it to anyone. I just want to know how a parent keeps his kid safe. It is part of caring for the familyI praise the ones that tell me they teach their children how to use and respect guns, and I encourage them take hunter safety courses (taught by old guys like me) but I also ask if their kids do everything they are told 100% of the time (Mine didn't) and remind them that a gun safe or a trigger lock gives them peace of mind when they are not watching. That and safety around machines and animals. I've had my share of cow kicks, stomped on feet, busted knuckles and a broken nose while trying to catch a cow's head, and I'm supposed to know what I was doing. And of course, people don't have to take my advice, and plenty don't, but I feel like I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't have the discussion.
And as for those questionnaires, I hate them as much as you do. Probably the best thing I can do as a doctor is to sit down, put my computer down and ask "how's it going for you today?" and go where that leads.

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
