Snow Day!

Post by Retro54 » Fri Jan 07, 2022 12:33 pm

Anyone else get their Ts out in the snow yet in 2022? I couldn't help myself but take a break from my remote desk to take a spin around the yard and get some shots. Let's see yours!

Good for you Andrew. It looks like a great day for it.
I love that T.
I'm taking it easy for a few days. Maybe next week.

Thank you Rich! Yes, almost a good day. Almost got it out again today, but out chains on the tractor instead.

I am surprised more aren't playing with theirs in the snow...

Here's a photo from 2012. No rides that day. :lol:

Maybe they are having too much fun to post. Or they're stuck. We are going to lunch in our Coupe in about ten minutes. I'll post a photo if I can get a good one.

Sweet! I have no idea why you wouldn't have taken that roadster! Haha

Compared to the Coupe photo I posted on the 7th (2 up) We have lost much of our snow. There was some to slide around on in the yard.
Our local event this month was Burrrrunch. As often happens, I had the only "old" car suitable for driving to it. The pretty ones stayed in their cozy garages.

A number of young fellows showed interest. I let them turn the crank and showed off the engine. Stories about grandpa's Model T Mail Truck and old license plates etc. kept us busy for an hour out in the parking lot. And then more interest at the filling station. Joy got a bit cold. It was well worth the time.
It's nice to be back in the saddle again.

Excellent Rich! With a T like that, it's hard not to have some fun.
