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

There is a lot to do and a lot not to do. The farm is not for sale. It is time to annex property down South. There are a lot of things to work out with moving and all the changes. One thing at a time. We went canoeing on the Whitney point reservoir, exploring the islands.

Big news. After reviewing three different offers, I have accepted the position of Global Manager of Service Publications with AGCO . I will be moving to Duluth Georgia . I will be traveling quite a bit between Finland, France, Germany, England, Brazil, Argentina and the US. I start in about a month. The picture is of Lake Lanier near Duluth.
