[AT] stiff tractor day

[H. L. Staples]

Glad I don't have to start a tractor today Dan.  When I got up this morning
it was +32 degrees here, has dropped down to +26 now.  Some rain and sleet. 
If the precipitation and temperature continue to fall we will have an
unwanted mess.  

On another note I filled up at Wal-mart in Shawnee Oklahoma day before
yesterday for $1.449 regular unleaded.

Seems to me that a cab heater for the pickup would be a real necessity. Good
luck and be careful out there.

-34F here this morning and not supposed to warm up much during
the day today.  I'm not looking forward to starting the 1850 to feed
this afternoon.  With it plugged in I know it will start right up but
even letting the hydraulic oil circulate for a while doesn't get that
warm oil through the power steering cylinders and loader cylinder
until you've actually used them for a while.
 
My diesel pickup was plugged in and started right up after I finally
got the switch turned far enough to engage the starter.  Just about
needed a pipewrench and a cheater on it to do that. Maybe it's time
for an in-cab heater?
