I work with a fella whose adult son had a brain annurism a couple or few weeks ago. He told me yesterday that his son is doing much better. Up and around, basically regained most of his motor skills, and biggest problem is that hasn't regained all of his periphoral vision yet. Said had to put stints of some sort through his skull to relieve pressure by draining the blood. OK, I understand that. But here's one that I didn't know or would have ever guessed. The blood that doesn't get removed coagulates, hardens, and sounds like basically forms a scab that the body absorbs a little at a time over time. As that happens, it relieves even more pressure on the parts of the brain that it had been pushing against, and as that happens, stuff, motor skills or whatever that had been problematic actually start to come back. To me, that's pretty cool. Science and medicine are far from perfect, but they certainly have come a long way, and maybe, just maybe why our life's expectation is beyond the age of 16. To hear my coworker tell it, the day his son went down was both his worst and luckiest day at the same time, because as it turned out, the hospitol that he was taken to happened to be nearby somewhere to him in DuPage County, IL, and as it turns out is one of the who's who of treating this in the world, he said.
Congratulations Ron, and much good and healthy luck with many, many years of enjoyment.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
