Good ones and bad ones. Four concessions away the neighbor was loosing hogs. Set up a video camera and nabbed the local Amish helping them selves. My cousin can"t keep hand tools around his place since the latest batch of Amish moved into the area. The local Bishop here doesn"t allow rubber wheels or enclosures on buggies. They look awful cold huddled behind an umbrella in a winter blizzard. They do use a gas engine for pumping water & cutting wood. They can use electricity up to 12V. I was surprised to see the younger folk, the girls in particular wearing sunglasses. And riding bareback on a workhorse through town. Part of that clan has a small engine shop and installs standby power systems for the "english". I bought a 1970"s East Indian clone of a Petter PH1W engine from the guy. I knew it was tired but it was the classic example of tinkeritious. It was a mixture of unmatched parts from several engine"s injection systems. The valves had been re-ground to a razor edge. The coolant passages were plugged solid with scale & "stopleak". They must have ran it for about 20 minutes a go until it became smoking hot. According to two local police officers I used to hunt deer with. The Amish were hiring local "english" for stud duty to deepen the gene pool. It was too troublesome a topic for the Crown to prosecute so they just turn a blind eye. Other Bishops in the area allow rubber tires on the wagons and enclosed buggies/wagons for protection from the weather. Diesel engines remain the power source of choice even though we live in one of the windiest parts of the world. I was always going to ask the Bishop about how the Almighty provides wind power directly to his people. Yet his people choose to purchase diesel from Arabs which becomes blood money used to kill Christians & Jews.
