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

We are getting a new alternator in the plane, working on the house in NY, and working on the boat. Boat pics in the water are forthcoming. We are bringing the boat back from the edge. A must before I get to the remodeling on the house in Duluth. I moved into a new office at work. It is bigger, desk is big. It is all about land reform. Always unpopular with some. Uncomfortable for all. I particularly like the pic I got of the guy living in the American dream home, Dog, TV, Stuff. Lola, Angie and I explored Atlanta this weekend. Travel is a state of mind, commonly not a destination. It is much more about communication and culture rather than geology and geography.

Angie and I had a full day Sunday. Went to Church, Nice Brunch, some excitement dancing with clouds in the plane and did some errands and so on.
