The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

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

We are headed to Rochester for Easter. Rosie is still down, but Bonnie has become a llama whisperer and started giving her Tylenol Arthritus and that has made things a lot better. We will see how she progresses. Was I in Antarctica? It seems so weird at this point. Also I don't think anyone can be *in* antarctica. Being *on* Antarctica seems much more appropriate. Whereas *in* North America is fine since you are immersed in society. There is no society in Antarctica. It is an outpost of a foreign land at best. This is a picture of the dome at Pole. The historic dome will be gone soon. I feel so fortunate to have touched it and been inside.

I have a flying lesson tonight if the weather is ok. I was in Canada night before last. Quite a bit of driving in the last 48 hours. Rosie is still down. We will get her up tonight. We don't know what her problem is. Click pic for video
