Mark, that is how I won my stainless steel Ruger 338 mag with some European rangefinding 4 X 12 Scope. Some guy my cousin knows showed up with it at an Elk camp in Wyoming. It had never been shot but the gunsmith bore sighted it in or so claimed the braggart owner was making fun of my rifle, a Remington 721 in 270 with a Weaver 6X scope. A rifle and scope older than I am, that belonged to my grandfather, and I had been shooting since I was 12. So I made the bet, standing, 5 rounds each at 100, 200,300 and 400 yards. If I won I got his rifle and if he won he got my rifle and truck. With all that power and that big scope he couldn't see how he could lose. He went first, he never hit a target. My first and only shot hit 2 inches high at 100 yards. Even more fun than winning the rifle (so easy) was watching him get beat up, after the first 3 or 4 rounds all he would do is close his eyes and yank the triger. So now I have a 338 mag rifle, something I consider worthless. The 30-06 is big enough for anything in North America and the 338 mag is to small for Africa if I ever make it there. It came cheap enough though, one 130 grain Remington Bronze Point. Mr Braggart went to Walmart and bought some rifle scope combo, never shot, it an went hunting and never got anything. On the 3rd day I took a cow elk at 70 paces, one shot, fell in place. I recovered the bullet. As my elk hung on the pole Braggart explianed how my bullet failed because it didn't retain enough weight.

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
