My mother used to say that to me when I'd ask too often when were we going to the fair or when I could have a box of .22 shells. I learned if she said that she was tired of being bugged about it and it was best to leave it alone. When I was older and had read Galatians a few times I began to understand it meant when the time was right. And not before. Many times I asked God for a wife. I knew other good women but never the right one. I figured maybe the time would never be right so at last I quit asking. I met this woman 25 years ago. She was the manager at an apartment company where I did maintenance for a couple of years. We got along great. But she was married. Kept in touch a little over the years. I did some remodeling for her and her husband and we had some peripheral friends. I hadn't heard from her much in the last few years till last winter she called and asked if I could fix her slow draining bathtub. That's when I learned that her husband had died. I charged her breakfast for the job. And then we started dating. Not long after, I asked her if or when she could marry again maybe she would consider someone like me. She just smiled. But the mist in her eyes told me what I wanted to hear. 10 whirlwind months of meeting her people and she mine. Holding hands and picnics and weekends. Laughter. Selling my best tractor to buy her a ring. The joy of her consoling proximity. She's 57 and I'm 60. The goofy, tongue tied, hesitant ways a pretty girl can make a guy act are still there as if you were 20. Yesterday we had a simple ceremony in front of a judge, three of her friends and three of mine. And we made our vows. My first time. I waited a long time for this. Wondered if it had all passed me by. I could go on. But it's a tractor board after all. I've finally learned what my mother meant by 'in the fullness of time'. And something too about a fullness of heart.

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
