Where i live we usually do not loose power but when we do she is a goody , several years back we got hammered with a summer storm that got us pretty good and we lost power around 7 in the evening . It was warm out so no big deal other then the fridge and freezer , wife was in a panic over the freezer thing only as we had just put half a cow and a pig in it a couple days before . Well people around me were standing out side looking at the poles as though that was the problem , the problem was the sub station about three miles away took a massive lighting strike and deep fried several main transformers along with lines down all around town . Well fort us we dug out the candles and filled the oil lamps and stopped openig the fridge . We still had water Check , we still had natural gas and matches Check we have the L P grill with full tanks so we are good . Our house was the only one that had any light showing and several of the neighbors came asking WHY we had lights on and they did not . The look on there faces was like total shock to find out that oh you can have light with out turning on a lamp hooked to the grid , you can cook with out the micro wave . Well two days into this and still no power my neigbor across the street and i fixed up and old 2500 watt junk genset and got it up and running and we SHARED it to run the fridge and freezers as we placed it on a kids wagon and would move it from his house to mine and i would run the frige and freezer for a couple hours and take it back over to his place and he would do the same. We did this for four days and saved almost everything . The next time we lost power a friend gave me a small 1700 watt gen that did not run and after a couple hour on a Sunday i had it running and it stays in my service truck , came home one evening and the power was out and the war Dept . was not home yet So ok fine no power lets see what i can do for supper , Everything was in the freezer so i moved my truck and ran and extention cord in the back window of the house and plugged the micro wave into it and fired it up and started to thaw out a pound of hamburger , Now that was about all that little thing would do to run the micro wave and my one next door neighbor who is NEVER sober comes over dragging a extension cord wanting to plug into my little gen to keep his beer cold . He really got mad at me for not letting him suck juice off my gen. and still to this day hardly talks to me , oh well .

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
