[AT] Ralph Goff CLOSE THE DOOR

[John Hall]

 Al, I'm beginning to doubt your Southern heritage--anything less than 80 
for a daytime high is not warm enough for my liking! Besides, have you ever 
tried hand cranking a tractor when it is below freezing? A 50 deg drop in 
temperature makes a heck of a difference. For what it is worth, tracks are 
fun to drive on sleet, but leave steel wheeled tractors under the shed when 
there is snow out. Weather like this reminds me of the old timers telling 
about draining the water out into buckets at night and having to break the 
ice in the buckets the next morning to pour it back in.
