Just a rant to clear my head.
Nothing seemed to go right saturday. Mowing first thing in the morning took a half hour longer than usual due to some areas having up to 5" of water still laying in them. Needed to haul my neice's riding mower to her house and had a flat trailer tire. Valve stem leaking and wouldn't stop even after changing the stem. Took her a push mower to use for now. Needed to move my John Deere B to make room in my Quonset hut for a rack for my angle iron and pipe supplies. Battery dead. Hook up the charger to jump start. Standing on the ground to start it and as I press the starter button I see smoke out of the flywheel cover. Unhook the charger and battery. Remove the flywheel cover and fix a wire that was pinched. Working inside my Quonset hut on a sunny day is never fun. must have been a hundred in there! Get B started and moved. Pick up the metal rack with my Farmall H it has a trip loader. Everything seems fine the rack is moving exactly how I thought it would when I notice the bucket has tripped. The rack pushed against the trip release and tripped the bucket. Set down the rack and try to reset the bucket but it won't latch. Got off the tractor and saw the latch was all the way back (hadn't reset). Looked around and the rack had hit the spring and rod that applies pressure to the latch and bent it. Got the bucket reset, set the rack where I wanted it and putting everything away and went home!

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
