Anyone old enough to remember that sort of thing? These premises insured by a Sheltie in Training ,--- and Cooey.o "May the Good Lord take a likin' to you"

Anyone old enough to remember that sort of thing? Oh yeah. I remember. And hot. And bees. And wasps. That's why I have a cab on both my tractors now. Sure is better! Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

I graduated to pickup truck snow plowing many years ago though, no regrets. I don't miss plugging in the tank style coolant circulating heater, cranking the old engine, letting the stiff hydrolics warm up, sitting on that metal seat... It worked, but I don't miss it. Something clever here.
