After many years as a flight instructor and instrument pilot I have spent a lot of time taking meterology classes. I agree with most that forcasting the weather even a few days in advance is a problem. But I think a phrase given to me by one of the more noted weather instructors around says weather forcasting the best: Fill a very large trough with water and shake it...then predict EXACTLY where the waves will go! It is really amazing that any rain actually falls to earth, seeing as how all the phenomina that creats the conditions to make it rain have to be in perfect alignment. Lifting action, dust particles, and the proper amount of mositure supplied. Now, as a hay grower myself, I can really sympathise with all of you, and especially here where I live near the political crime capitol of the USA....Chicago, where the wx forcasters can get away with two minutes of REAL weather, a "bring your umbrella" forcast and five minutes of crummy pictures of birds and flowers. Unfortunatly, even when I try to forcast myself, my predictions are only right about 30% of the time. The vast majority of weather is made above the 20,000 foot level by the jet stream, and the precipitation generally followes wherever there is a bend in them. If You are sitting in a moisture laden mass of air and the temps are rising, giving to thermal convection, there is always a possibility of T-storms "popping up".

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
