Everyone will have different ideas on what worked in their life. I helped Dad farm up until I was a senior in school in 1960. About that time Dad stopped farming. Land was selling, and farming was coming to a end. Dad kept working doing discing for others. At that time there were a lot of flower grows he worked for. He worked up to his early 80's I worked several factory jobs doing machinery repair work. I always liked mechanical things, which helped me land job with a computer company doing machinery repair. Not computer repair. I retired after 36 years with them. I worked nights. During the day I started dad's discing business, and added mowing. which still do. I was heading down the same road as Dad working all my life until my wife talked me into getting a motor home about three years ago. We take several trips a year. Growing up I always had old cars, or motorcycles. I still have old cars, and motorcycles, which I work on as a hobby. At 72 I have projects I will never finish, but the thought of having them around to work on keeps me interested. I have my tractors, but I consider them as work things, not my hobby and just keep them in good operating condition. Our fathers probably didn't have hobbies. If my Dad had hobby it was working. You must have something you are a little interested in you can expand on, and get interested as a hobby. From some of your posts sounds like your kids are doing ok so far. Someone else said let them solo by them selves, just be there before they crash. You might be like myself. I am comfortable where I am, and don't want to do new things. My motorhome changed that for me and my wife. might be something to think about. A different thought about building a new house. When I get tired of working on my motorcycles or my old 52 Plymouth, I just quit for a while. When you start a house it is a long commitment. Just be prepared for the long hall. Stan

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
