A couple of weeks ago I got a sumons for jury duty. When I showed up at the County Court House, I found out that the sumons was for County Grand Jury. The selection process was rather strange I thought. The judge asked if anyone would experience extream hardship by serving. 35 people there, knowone raised their hand. The GJ needs 16 people to to form a quarum. They reduced the number of available jurors by pulling names down to a pool of 22. That makes it posible for six people to call in on any jury day and still have a quarum. 12 jurors have to vote yes to endite a defendant/s and send the case forward to trial. Today we were supose to hear 4 cases. One was posponed till our next session due to a witness's illness. The second case delt with a credit card theft, and the other two delt with drug posession and sale. One I found very interesting, as it started with a traffic stop in Kansas. Two men in a PU with an inclosed trailer were headed here to NY with a delivery of pot. within 2 days of a call from the KS. Highway Patrol to Authorities here in NY (Feds, State, & County) a sting was set up and executed in a little hill town 20 miles from my home. Street value was said to be $400K. The other case was also drug posession and sale. It was a real eye opener for all of us serving on the GJ. Most of us were shocked how much and how close to us this problem is. If you should get called for GJ you will find it very interesting, and enjoyable, as it is informal and interactive with jurors , the DA, and witnesses. Not a stuffy Court room setting with appropriate. protocall with a judge procideing. PS our term will end the third week in May and conveins every Tuesday depending on load. So far we are on an every other Tuesday schedule.

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
