Monday, 12 February, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Sunny, zero to thirty. Sue home with a cold. I washed. Clifton skidded logs with the big tractor. Had a sick headache all day. Had letter from Marilyn.
Comment: The big tractor was a tricycle Farmall H with 600 lbs of calcium liquid in each rear tire for traction and and it really was quite a rig. In fifth gear it went about 20 or so mph and very maneuverable. I almost tipped it over trying to herd cows with it. I put it up on one rear wheel and it seemed like forever before it righted itself...another lucky break.....

Maybe all those "lucky breaks" came in answers from your mother's prayers of keeping you safe😉😉
