A few years ago, my dad had knee surgery and my sister spent a few days


with my parents to help out. During that time, we had a 10"+ snowstorm.

With dad unable to do anything, she had to hook up the plow to the tractor to scrape the sidewalk and driveway (sidewalk is probably 150-200 yards long, waaay to much to do with a shovel). But this is a 40 year old tractor that is rigged and customized in many unimaginable ways, so operating it as a snow plow is very finicky if you've never done it before.

My sister fought with it for probably an hour to get the sidewalk scraped.

Afterwards, my dad said he learned something about her that day...she isn't a quitter.

Her response was "If I'd known quitting was an option, I'd have had a VERY different childhood."
