We never owned a station wagon but over the years we had several different vehicles that we bought used and used like a wagon when we could. 1962 Mercury Monterey (used), 1965 Olds 98 Luxury Sedan (used), 1966 Ford Falcon extended van (used), 1978 Chevy Suburban (used), 1979 Chevy Suburban (new). I have had a pickup ever since. Looking back, it is interesting how we never used seatbelts. That changed quickly after I nearly hit a pedestrian with the '79 Suburban, about 1983, on my way to work. Snow was piled about 3 feet deep on the left shoulder of the xway but the pavement was dry. It was 6am and the pedestrian was dressed in dark clothes and walking with his back to me in the fast lane. No time to hit the brakes, I turned hard right, went into a skid 90* to the road, countered with steering wheel and turned 180 into another skid 90* to the road. The 2nd skid was so violent that it had thrown me across the bench seat to the passenger side. I had a death grip on the steering wheel and I managed to get back over behind the wheel as I headed to the snow pile. I ended up straddle of the piled snow and came to a stop. I was able to pull back onto the road and stopped. Fortunately, there was no other traffic. I could not see the guy behind me and was sure that I must have hit him. He came up to my window. I asked him if I had hit him. He said the left rear corner of the Suburban brushed his shoulder. I asked him why he was out there. He was walking to work. He thought he was walking on the shoulder of the road. I offered him a ride to work but he declined. I (we) have worn seatbelts ever since.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
