When I became Buildings and Grounds Supervisor for a local public school district, one of the first things I learned was the School Board and Administration did NOT run the school system. The local sports booster club ran it. In any given situation, what happened was what the booster club wanted to happen.

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
