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

I spent most of the holiday up in Rochester. I had to get my Mom in the Hospital. Hopefully she recovers quickly, but this looks like the end of her living alone. Her cats were hugging each other. I had to take a picture. It was about zero out this morning. I got this great pic of a Sundog. The ice crystals were low to the ground. It does appear pretty freaky.
