I agree with 37Chief officer just did his job. Now a little story: The entrance to my farm is marked with a row of short poles with pretty flowers planted in between. The pole are left over power poles set four feet in the ground and three feet out and the flowers are care free ones so there is little maintenance. The poles don't look like much and I have had two incidents where people have hit it. The first time a kid/child was showing off for his buddies and lost control pushed a pole over against the side of the hole, I just stood it back up a packed some more dirt. This fall another individual either missed or deliberately drove over the flowers and through the poles. Did not break the pole but did pull it out of the ground, it had to lift the vehicle (truck I suspect, off the ground because the hole was not dramatically widened. The pole is a 10 inch treated pole and it is not broken so I just dug out the hole, pick up the pole and reset it--no cost just exercise for about an hour. The truck, left his right inner fender and marker lights and some other bits and pieces, it will not pass safety inspection next year without repair which will not be cheap. And in 3 to 6 years the kids will forget and some crazy kid will try again with the same or worse result. They just never learn! Two years ago someone decided they couldn't see around the corner, there was 10 feet from the corn to the road, so they drove in the field and knocked down 4-5 rows for 50+ feet. That time I called the sheriff, just told him happens again I'll put out a spike strip. Can I do that?-sure, it's in my field not a public road. It won't be so easy to get it out and I'll know who it is! In fact paint the strip day-glo so I can find it in the fall.

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
