I think this site is not a good place to ask this question. Most people here won't have to change much, as a whole. We come to seek advice on how to keep our 40+ year old farm machinery working. I can't count how many times someone has been looking for info on his '90 Buick or '93 half ton chevy. We come asking for gardening advice. Some offer plans for homemade wood furnances or an opinion on which chainsaw to buy, what tools last and what ones don't. We have stories on how we keep the family warm and fed when the power is out. People here are going to do as they always did. That's why I love this site. Real hardworking Americans (and some from abroad) looking out for each other. Offering lifetimes of information and asking for nothing in return, except good conversation. Conversation which is hard to find anymore. I think I will enjoy a simpiler life, if that is what's instore. (Hope I won't have to give up my 'puter and internet). I don't have any children now, but hope to in the next few years. I would love for my kids to learn how to can vegetables, or husk sweet corn, bale hay for the neighbor's cows, and shovel snow by hand for the elderly neighbor. Not that they can't do these activites in good times, but I think it will sink in more as they get older knowing that it HAD to be done that way and it wasn't just the oldman being a harda**.

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
