I always loved the FARM,as In the smells,birds,clean air,mothers baking,church,Grandfathers moonshine,,and the fun of working. Well,I had a vision of being a Police officer. On the last interview I was informed I was probable going to be a GREAT CITIZEN,and would do well to never think again of a Police career!

I purchased 244 acres of farm Land, headed to Collage. Rented land out,and returned each summer,4>6 weeks. My back up plan was to be a Gas Generator Mechanic (Air Craft Turbines)and see the world. After graduating from the Gas Turbine Tech course........
I was contacted by a WW II Fighter Pilot (Mr. Williams Hines) who was now the Chief of all rotating equipment with a major Natural Gas Transmission Company.
I was asked if I was interested in a career?
In my fortieth year I retired (58 )from the above natural gas Pipeline Division. If I had it to do all over again I would change nothing!

I meet a wonderful Lady,married when I was 63.

Some where there are certificates stored ....Power Engineer...Electronics Processor Controls....Stationary Engine Mechanic,etc,etc,etc,.
I ended up responsible for a fleet of Gas Generators / Turbines,and a whole lot of other STUFF.

I now Pick and Choose Interesting Assignments connected with pipelines,and gas generators on the world Theater.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulic Basics - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In the last entry to this series we gave a brief overview of hydraulic system theory, its basic components and how it works. Now lets take a look at some general maintenance tips that will keep our system operating to its fullest potential. The two biggest enemies to a hydraulic system are dirt and water. Dirt can score the insides of cylinders, spool valves and pumps. Wate ... [Read Article]
