Bet you won't stop at one....... I can't see the picture, but are you talking about an Australian Sheperd or the short haired cattle dog? We've got Sheperds and a couple of friends have the cattle dogs. My Sherherds love the tractor and pickup. People get a kick out of it when I drive around with one on each fender. We have 3 dogs and it's a riot when they all go with to see them race for the fenders (last one has to ride on the back platform).

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
