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

The house that got away from me is now mine. It took a awhile to close, but I am now moving in. I have quite a bit of work to do. I am hiring out a bit as well. My new home. It sounds weird to say it.

New House! Portuguese, and Blairsville GA Aviation

I am closing on my house Wednesday the 25th. Finally! There sure were a lot of hoops to jump through. There is quite a bit of work to do, a roof, air-conditioning and so on. I have to be moved out of my apartment on Aug 2nd. The following picture is of the my meetup dinner Saturday evening. I have been in Atlanta two years and I am still getting used to the idea that a big city like Atlanta has lots of opportunities to meet with people that were impossible in rural NY... like a Portuguese language instruction club. We took a long plane ride today up to Blairsville, GA, up in the mountains, in and around the clouds.
