Hi Abe,
interesting story! Very cool that you have the family history reaching back so far in time! I tried to get my family history together, but I couldn't get back until 1860.
Driving home on the back highways from a track meet and I got behind this.
Notice my speedometer, it was going 20 in a 55. Fortunately she didn't stay on the highway too long.
I took these two pictures of Mt. Hood on Sunday morning while driving the Ford home from a "Cars & Coffee" event near Hood River. Spring is finally here! - Bob
2023 Stuart, Fla. Memorial Day Parade . 8th yr. year in a row . Weather was great . 1 1/2 hr. wait & 8 min on the parade route .'23 Ford speedster ahead of me .
Thanks for sharing. Our parade was the "smoothest" in my experience. I used creeper gear and only touched the brake and clutch once during the entire route. Usually it's stop and go and a real endurance test for your left leg. I'm thinking it must be getting hot in Florida--85 is in the forecast here for later today.
Took my truck out to meet the Saturday morning run crew. I drove by the Capital and hopped out for a quick picture. At 6:30am on Saturday there aren't many cars around.
We meet just a couple of blocks from here. I work across the street so I don't pay much attention to it. We do have a nice looking capital. This is technically the back. The front faces the Missouri river which is a stones throw from the front side of the building.
Drove my truck to the old red barn just east of Lock Haven this evening to see if it is good for the Vintage Truck photo shoot. Caught the last of the sunset on the way home.
This is on the Great Island formed by the West Branch of the Susquehanna splitting then rejoining.
This is closer to town which is protected from flooding with a levee.
Picture not through the windshield since there isn't a windshield.
The truck I'm riding in is a 99 year old TT that my friends' (two brothers) grandfather bought new in the next town over. It was purchased as a cowl & chassis and had a home made flatbed built for it when new. My friends' father rebuilt the truck in the late 70s and joined the Model T club with it. The older brother built a framework to hold bus seats a few years back and it is now the safari wagon.
The truck we are following came from a neighbor's farm. It is one of the last 10,000 or so Model Ts built. It is totally unrestored and has a home made cab and bed. The rear tires are from the WW2 era.
