Like a typical family today my kids have scattered to the wind in search of work. One in Cedar Rapids, another in Fargo....ECT. So a monthly family get together isn't possible unless someone wins the lotto and buys a plane. And with spouses involved and them having families too that makes it even more complicated. About the time we plan something one of our kid in laws has something going on on their side.
My folks are long gone but I feel sorry for my mother in law. Christmas day my wife an I go and spend a little time with 3 of our kids and their families so we can spend a little time with grand kids. Easier for us to go to them than for them to load kids up and come to us. Each year we ask my mother in law if she would like to come with us. She declines because "someone might show up". Except sense my father in law died no one does. My wife and I stop in for a few minutes but out of 6 kids and only my wife and I bother to see her on Christmas day. Same thing in the summer. She has a lake home so she get lots of visitors who show up to use the lake making a mess and expecting her to feed them. Some of my kids go too but they take food with them and clean up after themselves. MIL won't say anything to the ones (mostly grand kids) who take advantage of her but she vents on my wife and I. And if I say anything to the "takers" I'm the bad guy.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
