In both set of Grand Parents' homes you watched the Lawrence Welk show. You stayed quiet too or you where in TROUBLE!!!! It was a much simpler time. Things where more ordered. I wish I could dance like many of the people on his show. I am like a bull in a China shop. Kind of stomp around.
A fun story. My Fraternal Grand Parents where very typical German people, Not real emotional or would show affection much. Then you add in them being very conservative on money matters. They loved to ball room dance. They would drive to Storm Lake, which is 250 miles west, to see/dance whenever Lawrence Welk would be there. They would go to the Cobblestone Ballroom.

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
