I was reminded tonight of something that happened after we got married. I married a city girl about 12 years ago. She loves life on the farm, but the learning curve was steep for me - I didn’t realize how much I needed to explain. Without sounding exasperated!
I have one standing barrel for gas and four ground tanks for diesel. One day she drove the lawnmower over to the “gas station” and after she filled the mower she walked over to the shed where I was working.
“How come I don’t ever have to swipe my card?”
“Come again?” I said.
“How come I don’t have to swipe my card to pump gas into the lawnmower?” she said.
I just kind of smiled. “Because I have already paid for that 2300 gallons of gas and diesel. I have to pay for it when they deliver it. So you just mow as much as you want - the gas is on me.”
“So, could I pull my car up there and fill it?” she said.
“Well you could, but then I would have to run your debit card. Besides, I don’t have time to be the Texaco man.”
I still chuckle about that every so often. You should have seen me try to explain the reasoning for disking and then field cultivating (but only sometimes - sometimes you only need to cultivate. She just gave up on that one).

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
