Couple or few weeks back an 80+ yearold guy in SouthBend, IN. shot and killed a guy breaking into his house. His house had been broken into 3 times by the guy. First time, the guy got away. Second time, the guy got sent up for a few years for doing it, and promised to get even when he got out. Third time was a charm, he's pushing daisies now. Came to the old timers house and began kicking the door in. The old timer kept yelling "I've got a gun". The bum kicked the door in, and the old timer had a gun - bless his heart. The cops took up a collectin to get his door fixed up - bless their hearts. A few months ago in a richy lakeshore suburb north of Chicago, a family's house got broken into while they were home. Of the things stolen were an automobile of theirs. The next night while going to bed, the husband heard something downstairs and went down to investigate. The guy that broke in the night before was back, and let himself in using the keys he stole the night before. The husband shot him, sending him through a window, but not killing him, unfortunately. Initially the cops charged the guy with breaking and entering, and the home owner for having an illegal handgun in his own home (law against handguns in that town), and charged him for shooting the burglar to protect his family in their own home. The burglar gets a breaking and entering, the home owner gets the book thrown at him. Made national news. Guess what? The morons running the town backed off, lowering the home owner's charges down to having an improperly registered weapon. And why? Because the morons running the town had far too too too many invitations to have their heads handed to them by common sense law abiding citizens that have had enough of the bull$hit. Bless their hearts (the citizens, not the morons). Mark

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
