Im in Dallas today and it's raining. I took an exit and just as I got into the turn there was some water on the road and I could see it was covered with oil. In half a heartbeat I was sliding sideways in the lane, across the shoulder, and into the grass. When the tires hit the grass I saw the trailer tires lift off the ground in my mirror. I thought I was a gonner. I know better than to hit the brakes in a skid, but what was interesting is when I looked down the dash was lit up with the stability control and traction control warnings and the engine was at full power.

Anyway, for me it was lesson learned again. Watch out for slippery roads whennit rains, especially in the south where it stays dry for long periods.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
