You really have to like it when things work.  I went back out to the land to get the lights we left out (or at least put them back in the hot house).  My options were limited so as much as I didn’t want to I decided to try and start the tractor.  I had forgot to take the battery off in the spring and the tractor had been sitting wrapped up all winter.  I wanted to do some spring maintenance on it before firing it up but…

I arrived at the tractor, unwrapped it, put the key in and all the lights came on the glow plugs warmed up and the tractor fired up like it was the summer time.  I managed to hook up the plywood sled with all the lights on it and everything slowly made it back to the main road.  The snow was deep but that tractor pulled through most of it.  Sometimes I had to help it crawl along with the front end loader.
