Well from what i have seen around here is that the traffic has really dropped off . Was talken to a buddy of mine that farms and also runs a semi haulen steel , i called him last evening and he was on his way in to the house and he was tellen me that he is really thinking about parking his truck and alot of other guys are already doing this . As for our farming operation if we are going to keep doing it that is IF we can then we are going to have to come up with a way to reduce fuel costs along with the other chemicals . May have to go back and use the older more fuel efficent tractors of the past like the old 2 cylinder JD. diesels and old gas start farmall diesels . Now the big problem there is the parts to rebuild them and keep them going . We have pasted the point of the fact that our take home pay will not take us home. We are in big trouble and i for one do not have the answers to solve this huge problem . And nomatter how rich the oil co. ex. get they can become just as hungry as the rest of us if all the LITTLE GUYS can not haul or grow the food that everybody needs . I have never went along with this GET BIGGER OR GET OUT thing that they have been tryen to sell and for the most part stop and look at some of the ones that have listened to this B/S as the only ones that have made out is the auctioneer when they loose everything and they are sold out. The GREED Factor has done it 's damage . The snowball affect is now taken hold with the price of fuel the price of new cars and trucks food prices on the rise and the working mans wages at the point that they are at , now i am not talken about the union man's wages as there days are numbered as here again just who keeps them working at the auto plants ???? When it become to the point that the ones that are not maken the 24+ and hour wages and are only making in the 9-14 dollar and hour range can no longer afford to buy a new car or pickup and have to worry about having enough money to put food on the table and pay the high price for the rent or house payment along with the rising price of other things . Things are going to get UGLY fast . And our gov. is not doing anything to help out the little man and don't care as all they worry about is them selfs and there big money friends.

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
