    My father used to be in Yale university. Back when WWII was ending. The then college kids were celebrating with massive bonfires. Yale and other schools would try to put out these fires. Primarily because these fires were fueled with the chairs no one liked using. Well the kids as Dad called them would empty the schools fire extinguishers and fill them with kerosene. Then when the university would try to quench the fires. Students would help with the specially equipped fire extinguishers that made the fire hotter.

    I greased the tractor today and adjusted the brakes. Fun fun. But at least I know the grease got in the the zerks. Rather than every where , but I really greased it.... from the TA tech. I do it in between oil changes.
