The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

Image
With tribute to USDA and other government furnished information of the post war advice converting Model-Ts to tractors --"Doodle Bugs". I towed the resurrected rear-ended 2013 Nissan Leaf up to Berkshire, NY from Duluth, GA. It is now in field trials as a farm machine in Upstate NY. Despite the lack of current ground clearance it is performing well in dirt and mud. I will be skidding firewood very soon. https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/08/doodlebug-1923-ford-model-t-tractor/ https://www.thehenryford.org/collections/explore/artifact/188731?AssetId=THF811118

Almost all the llamas will wear halters for us now. They really are sensitive animals. They are very curious about humans and it seems they can sense us well... like dogs can or perhaps better. Click pic for video llamagrass2.mpg llamagrass3.mpg

Well the weather got cold and rainy again. It is too cold for June. It is in the low 40s today and rainy as well as windy. Ukk. I went to the rochester Hamfest yesterday. It was pretty much a wash out. I didn't find anything I was interested in really. I came home early. Here are a couple of pics of a couple of my friends, Doug McManus and Kevin Carey, WB2QMY
