I haven't posted much for awhile and there has been a good reason. Back in May my 77 year old dad fell in the barn and spraned his ankle but not to bad. They gave him a boot to ware and told him to use his cane to walk with and to stay off it as much as he can. Well dad being dad decider he didn't need the boot or cane after 2 days and walked out of the house about 10 feet and fell again, This time he broke that ankle but good. He spent May in the hospital with cellulitice in that leg and once that was taken care of he was transferred to a nursing home to have rounds of antibiodices for a blood infection. His ankle would never heal up right so the doctor made plans to fuse the bones and put a rod and pins in to hold his leg and ankle together and it will stay in. July 13 they did the surgery and it was back to the nursing home to heal up. 2 weeks ago they let him come home with a cast still on his leg but he was home. Friday we took him to the doctor to get the cast off and he was a happy camper to say the least, But he was not happy with the walking boot and the orders not to walk on it. He can stand on it to get in or out of bed or chair but cant be walking on it.
On the way home he said he wanted to look at the soybeans so mom drove the van around the field so he could look at them (This is not what he wanted to do if you know what I mean.) Now all he is talking about is me getting his Gleaner K out and ready to cut beans when they are ready. The problem is I know he cant do it and he should not even try but he's hard headed so I don't know what I'm going to do. Well dad is at least home and the cast is off and is starting to come off all the meds he was on and is getting more clear headed but I know the combine idea is not going to happen even if he wants to. Now maybe I can catch up on the 2 months or so of work I am behind on now that I don't have to do so much running. Dad is 77 and mom is 76 and last night she told him "Your going to start doing what me and the doctors tell you to do or else!" To witch dad said "NO"! Mom simply came around the corner with a cast iron skillet! OK OK I get it! I think dad got the idea this time! At least he's home and can start getting around better now and can get back to his old self. He is such a turkey bird. Bandit

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
