Just before I went in the Air Force I worked as a RV mechanic. Someone brought in a big ole motor home they just bought and wanted us to go through it and check all the appliances, the LP gas system and the electrical. Shop foreman is going through the list, looks at the furnace and tells me to light it run it for a few minutes turn it off, after I'm done with everything else pull the furnace and clean the burner and "Don't mess up the little gasket under the sight window because we don't have one" Well I try to light the furnace, find out the lp is turned off to the coach, turn it on, start smelling gas, Hmmmm seems the coach's LP tank leaks at the valve when it's open, turn the tank back off, unhook it and hook up a shop tank, now we're ready! Laying on my back in the motor home, one hand holding down the pilot bypass, the other pushing the piezo lighter, snap, snap, snap, Hmm nothing, continue to hold & push. All of a sudden BOOM! everyone comes running wow did you see that! Flame six feet out the side of the coach.....Baker you alright? Wow haven't seen one that big for a while... I walk out of the coach, the foreman starts yelling that I broke the gasket, I said I don't think so, then he pointed out the little pieces of gasket in my hair, eyebrows and on my glasses. When I pulled the furnace we found that the ignitor had what looked like a spark plug wire on it, but all the rubber or silicone had burnt off. Me being a rookie kept snapping the lighter and holding down the button. Well with the insulation burnt off it was sparking somewhere other than the burner so the gas didn't light until I filled the furnace chamber up good and full with LP.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
