[AT] stiff tractor day

[David Bruce]

Not to make you cringe but ...

Here in Northwestern NC it is now a balmy 70 F - a little breeze (sure 
sign of a front coming in).  I took my MF35 out for some light duty work 
- picked up a few larger rocks in my drive.  It made a good excuse to 
crank the tractor and get some "quality time".  I'm sure winter will 
return here soon.
