One time while riding my dirt bike in the bottom of a unfinished resevior I came arcoss a couple in a jeep with the hood up, It was late on a Sunday afternoon and the sun was just starting to go down and we were pretty much the last people around, After stopping to lend a hand we found that the little metal tab on top of the rotor button had broken off! After a couple of Oh Man what do we do nows by his girlfriend who I will say was not a happy camper at this time, I looked down and found a couple of pull tab's off of a old beer can and got an Idea! I took off the rotor button shoved the beer can tab under what was left of the metal tab on the rotor button unwound some electrical tape off the wiring on my bike wrapped it around the button to hold the beer can tab in, bent the tab up so it would make contact slapped the cap back on and the jeep fired up I gave him the other tab for a spare and followed him out to the road and off they went! Let me tell that was one happy girlfriend at that moment!

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c ...
