I remember the blizzard of 78. we had a big lake across the road (to the west)from my parents house that was frozen so all the snow that landed on that lake blew up onto the lake lots, burried houses on the lake and left 12 ft snow drifts out the road. Two Indianapolis city snow plows were stuck after hitting burried stranded cars and they had to bring in a huge front loader from a gravel pit to get everything dug out. What a mess! I remember going out the night when it started up and saw a couple guys going down the road about 3 am (feeling no pain I am sure) they came walking back soon after hitting the big drift and had to leave thier car in the middle of the road. It was thier car one of the snow plows creamed. we were out of school for about a week and had to use skis to get to the store once it was able to open. We walked up one snow drift and lo and behold looked down and saw shingles. we were on a neighbors roof! Most of the houses on that side of the lake were completly burried. My buddy and me made a lot of money with our old steel grain scoops that week but got really wore out also! Indy was pretty bad all over, but that lake really made it 10 times worse where we were. It was so bad that we couldn't get Dads Walk behind Gravley with the snow blade out to do driveways. Some of the people we shoveled for still couldn't get out for a week or so because the streets were so bad and hadn't been touched but they had a clean driveway! I used the money I made to buy my first car well truck anyway , a 49 chevy 3/4 ton and still have it.

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
