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 was out in Denver this week. This weekend it is about working around the house. It doesn't appear I need to travel this coming week.

I am back from Europe. My new passport is only two weeks old and I have added five Countries. I had Boobalan and Christopher pose with this tiny Fiat in Italy. It was their first trip ever outside of India. They made many new friends. There are some pics of a historically important bridge in Bassano del Grappa Italy. The bullet holes are still there.
