I don't get out here too often. I bush hog it once, sometimes twice a year. There's about 2 acres left I can mow. Was maybe 3 acres when I bought it in 1991. The forest will ultimately take it all back but I Have made an effort to keep some open. Photo shows the corner of the property where the river enters the lake. It's all bog, swamp and water here. About 6 of the 17 acres you can walk on. Except when we were kids with our cousins and found the hardest places to cross by walking slogging and swimming. Even walked a couple of miles to get to a harder bog to cross. About 1 acre here is still tillable. You can't see it in the picture but about a 10' dia chunk of bog broke off and is floating out in the lake. Sometimes they were big enough for a few of us to get on and push around with poles. Go out at night and pole it into someone else's area of the lake and then swim home. Ha! I heard the Bittern tonight. They make an unusual sound. He's a small butternut colored crane that likes drier swamps more than open water. The Army Corps of Engineers put a series of small dams on this river to help hold back the Missippi. Back in the day. It eroded and degraded this lake. The dam is at the farthest away part of the picture. Took about 1 1/2 acres from my grand dad by raising the water level a foot. Some of it fell into the lake too. Still nice out here though. Sun's gone now but the internet is still up. Sitting in my pickup out here writing this. Came up alone this time to plant some plots. The loon just started calling. They start talking almost at complete darkness. About 9:20 now. Some trumpeter swans must have flown in cause the lake just got real noisy. They're just passing through. Going farther north and won't stay and nest like the bittern and the loon. Time to drive back to the other side of the property where the camper is. It was nice - as usual - here tonight. Both on the boards and at the lake.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
