Was sitting down eating lunch yesterday, and the phone rang. Was an old friend of mine, hadn't seen him in quite a while, at least a few years.
He only lives a few miles away, but about 3 years ago he started playing football and going to public school, and pretty soon, he was too cool to be hanging out with me....
We took drivers ed together year before last, and we both got our drivers license the same day this past fall during the fair (odd coincidence).
We talked then at the fair one day, and he was driving a 1973 Ford Bronco, and it was in okay shape, but didn't seem great to me, BUT, he loved the car!
Anyway, back to the phone call. It was him, and he sounded different that I remembered, but I couldn't figure out why. He told me that on this last Monday he slid, and then rolled the Ford off the road and down a ravine 4 times. His lap belt kept his butt in the car, but by the second roll (he thinks) his chest and face was out the left hand window.
They air lifted him 2 hours away to what we all call the "Big Hospital" and on the plane ride there, he was told to say his good byes to the men in the cabin with him, because he wasn't going to make it.
Well he did make it,
186 stitches in his face/head A crushed left arm and leg And a broken femur...
He has been in the ICU since them, and was able to come home yesterday afternoon, so at least he is home for Christmas. Even thought we aren't really friends anymore, for about 5 years of our life, we did everything together every day, and it brought tears to my eyes knowing that he almost didn't make it...
Maybe if you have the extra time, he could be in you prayers today. Sorry this has been kind of long, but as we all say, be careful...

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
