Been reading all of the posts about the lack of rain here and there and at the same time can remember posts not to long ago where everyone seemed to be getting flooded out. Our "engineers" have figured out how to gather, store, and redistribute everything from oil to natural gas, other liquids, gasses, solid minerals, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....WHY NOT WATER???????
There is no reason that water from a flood in one area should not be able to be pumped to another to refill an underground aquafier (aren't several of them out West supposed to be depleting faster than they are being refilled), a huge lake, or whatever, and 'saved' for future use. Then, instead of our government subsidizing crops, and farmers having to have crop insurance for bad/dry years, all of those billions can be invested in something that makes sense for nearly all farms......like an irrigation system.
Think about it, if all of the'extra' water was stored, and used when needed to irrigate crops when needed, can you imagine the amount of production this country could achieve in areas that are otherwise unusable, or save at times when the normal, yearly crops, would otherwise be failing???
Guess to those of us uneducated individuals that can see what people in this country are really capable of, if they put their minds to it, this whole idea makes sense. Even so I figure for every one person out there that thinks, and knows it could be done given the proper thought and execution of said thought, there always seem to be two more that say it simply isn't possible and will take the time to figure out 200 reasons why it's not instead of one why it is.......Guess that's why the US lost it's statis as a true superpower on this Earth years ago..........

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
