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.

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.
