I have had contractors working at my place for the past week. They have been thoroughly amused by all of my old equipment. Whenever they have had a menial task for me I have taken the pride to fire up an old tractor to do the job.

I turned on the gas, set the choke, made sure it was in neutral, etc. and proceeded to try starting. It always fires real easy but not today. Cranked it over til the 6 volt gave up. Took out the crank for a few tries and still nothing so I decided to break it to lead. After pulling it a short time with no luck I noticed that I had failed to turn on the switch. I flipped the switch and it fired instantly but by then my pride was shot. Of all the things I have ever lost lost my mind is the thing I miss the most!!!!!
