Wife got a call from a guy interested in a Tennessee Walking Horse about 10 years ago. Guy shows up in about a $50,000 black Cadillac, obviously brand new. We go out to the barn, he introduces himself as Albert Lee. I laugh and say "any relation to Albert Lee Appliance?"
Most areas have a real agressive appliance outfit- constant TV advertising, "We'll beat any price", etc., etc. In our area, its Albert Lee Appliance.
He looks kind of sheepish, and says, "Well, yeah, that's me."
Very nice guy. Turns out he has joint custody of the kid he had with the trophy wife, kid expressed an interest in trail riding, so rich daddy is anxious to indulge the kid's every whim.
He doesn't really want to ride, but MY trophy wife sort of flirts him into it. He rides, is amazed that horse does what he wants and he isn't killed, and is sold on the spot.
We go to the house- as we're standing next to trophy car, he asks if we're firm on the price. I look at him, then look at the amazing Caddy, then back at him, and say, "Yeah, we're firm." He gives ne a big smile, and says "Well played. Let me get my checkbook."
Don't know whatever happened with the horse- but I'm sure he's fine. Just guessing, I'd say the kid soon decided that chasing girls was much more fun than chasing horses (although a shrewd kid could combine the two, with excellent results- has there ever been a girl, in the history of the planet, who wasn't smitten with horses?).
Albert Lee Appliance continues to lead the field- they sponsored the Unlimited Hydroplane Race on Lake Washington this past weekend, which probably cost them a cool million or so.

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
