I went out this afternoon to dig and move snow with the tractor so Cindy could get out to go to work in the morning and people could drive in. I pushed a load out of the driveway and across the road and dumped it in the ditch and when I went to bvck up…………..the tractor wouldn’t go in reverse!
O man!
I was stuck crossways in the road with my front wheels hung over the edge of the ditch on top of snow and they sank a little. I fiddled and messed with it trying to get it back into reverse, but all it did was go forward and make things worse. Finally I came to the house and got Cindy and a tow rope and my Dodge Ram 4×4. I got hooked on and had Cindy steer and after a lot of grunting and hitting it harder and harder, we got it popped out and pulled into the yard.
I came in and called the local mechanic and asked what to do. He mentioned several things, so I called Chance and told him to come help as I am not a very good grease monkey. While looking and fiddling with it, I took a cover off, tried moving a couple things and viola! I got it! Woo hoo! And now I know what to do next time this happens!
I was so proud of myself. And so thankful God looks over us idiots! Praise the Lord!

Who the heck is this Viola? The only one I know was in Shakespeare somewhere!
Danged if I know Dickie, but it sounds like waalaa, when you say her name! 🙂
Guess it’s like the froggie Voila! lol.
Voila, my dear friends, is French for (I in plain speak) “there you go”.
JB you sound like a certain man around here that hates grease 😉
I didn’t like to show off like Linda!!!!!!! but if my schoolboy French is right then;
Voici – Here is/Here are.
Voila = There is/There are.
Oui?
And Viola is still in Shakespeare! lol.
Now Linda, I don’t hate grease, but it sure hates me! My hands break out and get all sore and I am just to ignorant to understand how these modern marvels work. Teams and saddle horses. I can kind of understand and make work, and the tools that are used with them.
Cest le vie?
Ja teme?
Adios!
“I took the top off, tried moving a couple of things, and trombone!…”
LOL! Great on Hubba!
