The stop sign means STOP...but...

About four months ago Dave borrowed a one-bottom plow from a neighbor and took the tractor to get it.  This is an old tractor, a very OLD tractor and well, we are used to old tractors and equipment breaking down.  Now we consider ourselves to be responsible, law-abiding citizens, but our little red tractor took the rules of the road to the extreme. 

Dave thankfully took a back road to get the plow and return it.  For on the way back, I noticed he was taking a little long.  After calling him, Dave informed me that in fact he was stopped at a stop sign and was in no way continuing on his journey.  You see, the little tractor that could really couldn't anymore and took a breather when Dave stopped at the stop sign.  What an odd sight to drive down the road and see our little tractor sitting there enjoying the scenery.  Thankfully, with the help of Dave's dad, they got the tractor off of the road and back onto the farm, where it feels content living out the rest of its years.
