Electric I Class Seems to Require A Lot of Studying

We have been spending some time chasing electrons around the shop and some of them are found in computers. You gotta love those DLM's.

Electric 1 Class

We about half done with Electric 1 class and one of the things we discuss is electrical safety. I beleive that most have a good understanding of circuit protection by now and I think that we have all figured out that a 14 gauge wire will not handle 500 amps.

Rest in Pieces

The combine teardown is nearly completed so its time to post some more pictures.

Free Lunch??

Well the Pedal Pushers Cafe has an offer that Brandon just couldn't refuse. The Big Bopper is six 1/4 pound bacon cheese burgers and a pile of fries for $38. If you can eat it all in an hour its FREE!!! Guess who won this battle!

 

I think he was getting ready to order a shake to top it off.

Annual Fall Bike Ride

Thriteen of us went to Lanesboro for a little bike ride (about 20 miles) and went out for supper afterwards. The weather was great and I think everyone had a good time but we will have to see what it feels like in the morning.
