Why, just why would you call a town that and anyone name their company that?
Its like when I meet someone and they say "hi, im dick". 🤨
There was a prospector claim owner I knew and when I first heard about him yonks ago I thought he must have been an idiot if you know what I mean. Hey have you met Tarnagulla Dick?
Im, no I have an aversion to idiots I don't think I want to. Turned out he was one but that's not why he was called one.
Strange.

Newfoundlander's have a great sense of humor. Though they have six and ten major dialect areas.

1. Dildo: One of the most famous, this community's name is often cited in lists of unique Canadian place names.
2. Blow Me Down: Located near Corner Brook, this name is thought to be a variation of Blomidon, referring to steep coastal land where vessels were vulnerable to sudden, violent wind gusts.
3. Come By Chance: A community on the Avalon Peninsula, famously known for its optimistic name.
4. Witless Bay: Located on the "Irish Loop" of the Avalon Peninsula, known for its bird sanctuary.
5. Jerrys Nose: A uniquely named location featured in local travel lore.
6. Bacon Cove: A fishing and farming settlement on the Avalon Peninsula, often highlighted for its unusual food-based name.
7. Joe Batt's Arm: A town on Fogo Island, named after a legendary settler.
8. Leading Tickles: A community in Notre Dame Bay; "tickle" is a local term for a narrow strait.
9. Nippers Harbour: Named because, from a bird's-eye view, the harbor resembles a pair of pliers.
10. Grate's Cove: An historic community at the northern tip of the Bay de Verde Peninsula.

Sometimes reverse will get you up something drive wont because of lower gearing!
If ever stuck don't give up until you try reverse.
Too it can depend on wether you have front wheel drive or rear. Swapping the drive by reversing can change things.

Started in reverse but that's where the problem began. Tires aren't the greatest, the rubber is hard, filled, and being a two wheel drive the odds are stacked against it going anywhere when there's an ice layer under it.

My mother was born in Newfoundland from Irish immigrants. My dad met her at Gander Field where she was working on the base. He was stationed there during WW 2. I went there 1 time to visit my grandmother in St. John's. It's a very beautiful island.

2wd in the tarp shed on ice from prior snowmelt the other Cub would not go up the very gradual slope. A tractor tire slipping isn't good.
I had one spinning 🥴.
Now they both are outside instead.

Mornin all.
Oh boy is it raining.
And fog above the snow.
Plow truck and barn roof clear of snow. Finally.
Standing water at road end isn't too deep. It has a place to go if it gets too ambitious I saw to that prior.
I'll be heading out soon and will see if the low spot halfway to main road is still draining. Should be.
One place before than it flooded across a bit much but there's no ditches either.
Two homes there could use some road drainage. Let them do it though if they don't like it where it is. Or at least lobby for it to be done.
They both are allowed to borrow a tractor. And both have.

What year?

I don't know offhand anymore. (I do the Cubs years.)

Last year that the BX series had the brake pedal on the right side. (?) Making it end in 60. The next models were ending in 70. I don't do well with left side controls for feet. Thus the 60 model and the International/Farmall's with all pedals on the right side.
There was an incident involving a suddenly liberated floor jack handle I had U- bolted to a clutch on a M.F. tractor for a hand lever one time..
And on a different tractor not belonging to me I might have left a dark spot on a friends newer garage door with a tire trying to work the left side clutch with a right foot.

Good morning everybody

At first I thought yeah sure. But several sources are saying this is real. If so the Chinese are going ahead in leaps and bounds with robotics.
Is it real? Was a news story on one of our major news networks about a super car pile up but it wasn't reported anywhere else so its given AI fake.

here’s the solution
