I hope the PC police read this before they delete it! I'm talking about myself! So I head out to plow some of this cursed snow today, only the plow tractor will not start. Bit of a problem until I spy the grain truck sitting there still loaded with corn. So I hooks up the cables...but these old chevys have these side connect batteries with the little tiny nubs to hook onto and it is a trial. So I checks ALL my connections and, somehow, switched the ones on the tractor. Then I started playing with the ones on the truck. Big shower of sparks and the battery catches fire. No idea what is going on so I just rip the cables off and start swatting at the battery with my glove all the while the truck is sounding a little weird. Once the fire was out the truck went back to normal and I went back and stared at the tractor. Pretty obvious what I did...so I hooked it up right and started over.

Never a dull moment. Never did THAT before! Lucky it didn't blow up in my face!
