We have some watermelons in the garden, and have picked a couple already. They were small, but very tasty. Today I decided to take my Gravely out back and mow along the fence row since the 4th is coming up and they do shoot off fireworks in the area. As I get around to the back part of the fence where the garden is (inside the fence) I see I have quite a few melon vines that have grown through the fence and have sort of vanished into the high weeds. So I figure there is no way to try to separate the stuff so I just plow right into the weeds, back up and take another pass right up against the fence. Suddenly this melon rolls up on top of the deck much to my surprise. Sure am glad I had the deck down and not tilted back or that melon would have just vanished in a spray of red juice. The stem was still green so it may not be quite ripe yet, but since it rolled it broke off the stem so I brought it in when I got done mowing. This is the biggest one so far this year, and what an odd way to find it. Put it on my postal scale, 19 pounds even. Set it in the wifes lap and took a quick picture (which didn't make her very happy). Reminds me of how she looked just prior to childbirth back in 84 and 89. I sure am glad she doesn't look at this site!

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
