National Weather Service for south-central MN said -21 at 7 a.m. but my deck thermometer said -24. Last (Sunday) evening my son-in-law got off work at 6 p.m. after a 12-hour shift. His car had already just grunted when he went out to warm it up at 10:30 a.m., so I was waiting for him when he got off at 6. At first we tried a jump pack he carries in his car, but after sitting in the sub-zero car all day, the plastic handle on the positive clamp snapped off before I could even hook it up. So we got out his medium-grade jumper cables and the plastic on the positive clamp broke off in several chunks when I squeezed it to hook up. Being too lazy and cold to get some good cables out of my trunk (I had three sets along), I carefully attached the now-bare plus side, etc., and got him started after just a few grunts. He only drives a few miles three days a week, and I suspect these extreme cold nights didn't let his battery get a good charge on short trips. I told him to go home and get it on a slow charger until he needs it again. He's getting rid of the car in the spring and really doesn't want to spend $100 or more on a new battery. Time will tell how that works out.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. 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.
