When I bought my place, which is just a hair SE of Spook (but he don't know that, so don't tell him), it had been for sale for years, starting at around a million. There are several BTO's in the area but most lease land. Everyone in the area wanted the place but no one wanted to pay the price...it is 100% prime farm land if you log off the woodlot (never gonna happen). So they dropped it to half a million and let it set another couple years. I made them an offer and they laughed it off. It was low. I was polite, thanked them and moved on. Year later, still for sale, I resubmitted my offer. This time they weren't laughing and countered. I politely refused. Month went by and I had a conversation with the sellers. Turned out it wasn't the amount but some other issues with the estate. I was able to resolve those for him and he sold me the place. Some of the heirs still drop by occasionally to broadly infer that I am a thief and stole the place. It was good business and almost everyone is happy with the deal. The answer to your question is...be in the right place, at the right time, DO NOT let anyone see you walking the property or the telephones will be buzzing, and catch the BTO with his pants down. I think generations will have to die before I am forgiven. BWAHAHAHAHA

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
