I went on a ATV ride with a bunch of guys. It was raining a little and I was wearing a poncho. I slipped the bottom of the poncho under the the front edge of the seat. Wasn't long and it quit running. The air snorkel had been getting blocked by the poncho. Embarrassing, but easily fixed.
 
I can one up that. Went to trail ride and I filled up the 4 wheeler while one the trailer. Drove a couple hours to the riding place and my 4 wheeler would not run, I filled it up with diesel!
 
On all the rides I've been on since starting the hobby in 2003, only two tractors with trouble were diesel, one because the owner trusted his fuel gauge that had failed, stuck on full and ran out of fuel. Gas tractors have much more trouble, with either ignition or fuel issues. Does not matter the make/model, they are all man made and we haven't made any perfect yet..
 
You can tell that man is deep in thought. We've all been there a time or two. Back in the day, I'd light up a smoke and by the time I was done with it, I'd have my problem figured out. Now I can't smoke and I can't figure anything out.
 
There was a red one stopped on the road in our group yesterday and a wrong color green hooking onto it with a chain. Not sure what happened, but the red one drove back into town. Iowa must want Chuck to stay here, they set up a shop for him!! Great day, good ride but it got hot after lunch.
