Dear bucketloader: I'm sorry I said all those mean things to you when I couldn't get you started. We're still friends, right? I, yes, should have checked to see that your terminal cables were making good contact instead of just delicately sitting *around* the posts on the battery. Don't know why I didn't see that the first six times -- perhaps it was because I'd been pissing around with snow for the last thirty hours and was a bit fatigued. Anyway, don't hold it against me. I was having a rough day and I didn't really mean it when I said you were an overgrown lawn tractor with delusions of grandeur. You are a Really Useful Engine, honest.
