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

Angie and I went to "Food Truck Friday" in Duluth. We had lobster from a food truck. I have been meaning to take the car/airplane pic for a while.

Angie and I decided to go hiking rather than flying this weekend. The sports car ran well through the mountain roads. We had to put the top up for a while for rain. We hiked on the Appalachian trail from Tesnatee gap almost to low gap and back. Lots of vertical climbing. Very tiring.
