If someone chooses to live in a locality or state where things are unbearable to others,that's thier business. There are still states where you can live reasonably free. If we're stupid enough to let every aspect of our lives to be controlled and regulated by one FEDERAL government,we're screwed. It's the end of freedom.

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
