I will never forget this years soybean harvest. Started Tuesday and ran a couple of semi loads and delivered one load Wednesday early a.m. (110 miles to elevator.) Got half way there when I started having some serious chest pains so diverted to Maumee rather than Andersons River elevator as I knew that there was a large hospital in Maumee near the elevator. By the time I got to the elevator the pains are all gone so I unloaded and started home. I must be O K. Got back, fueled the combine, washed the cab windows and went across the road and started combining. After about two bins full the chest pains are coming back and I thought that this is stupid. So I drove the combine back and put it in the barn and got in the pick-up and drove to the hospital. Wishfully thinking that they would check me out and send me on my way back to the field. "WRONG" The first thing they did was take everything I was wearing off, slaped my hind end on a gerney ran a I.V.in each arm and hooked me up to a EKG monitor with so many leads on it I felt like an air seeder and informed that I would be here at least overnight. All this time my wife is in San Diego with three of her girlfriends and I am wondering how to tell her without her going ballistic. No cell phone service in the hospital as there is too much lead in the radiology dept. I waited till about 7:00 pm California time to call her as I knew that if she could not reach me on my cell phone and nobody answered the home phone she would have the police looking for me. I told her their was nothing to worry about that they were going to run some tests in the morning and I would be out of here. She called back in ten minutes and said she was leaving for the airport as she got a flight back and would be here by morning. (Sure glad she was able to catch that flight out or she would have chartered a jet and I would have had to pay for it.) To shorten this story up they did a stress test and a heart cath yesterday morning and everything was near perfect. The chest pains were coming from insignifcant secondary arteries and I will be back in the field tomorrow. The beans are running good and I have the best wife in the world.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
