By FreighTer Jim on Sunday, July 08, 2018 - 06:08 am:I got into town Saturday early afternoon.
Stopped in to see Justin at Your Museum - all was calm before the storm.
Your Board Of Directors was in meetings for the day so I headed over to see Mark Atkins ...
Ron had come up from Florida for the tour so he drove over in his 1912 Roadster Pick Up.
Mark - Ron - and Garry Houser look over the 1912 ...
We all went over to Clara's for great pizza ...
On the ride back - Mark's taxi decided to take a break about a half mile from home ...
It was towed back - Mark quickly pulled the carburetor & cleaned it - it was back running in short order ....
Mark helped repair a leather strap on Ron's T - earlier he had helped Garry replace his transmission bands - just another day in The Life ... 
I will be streaming live from Richmond starting today thru next Saturday - short video & images:

By FreighTer Jim on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 - 04:16 pm:I have some rest time at a motel to resize images ....
This Gentleman “ ran out of gas “ with his best gal on the tour & boy howdee was he happy ..... nothing nicer than a quiet stretch of road and some shade to pass the time ....
Trouble is - he was on a Model T Tour ....
When you run out of gas - everyone & their mother is gonna stop and lend a hand - as you can see he was clearly “ de-lighted “ to be rescued by the the Good Samaritan .....

By FreighTer Jim on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 - 04:31 pm:I needed assistance on Thursday .....
Truth be told - I never looked at the driving instructions that JK had so meticulously detailed in the book - I just followed the last Model T & crossed my fingers ..... hoping for the best.
John ( on the left ) volunteered to ride shotgun on the tour leg that featured several stops to meet the cars going on & off a scenic section of trail not normally open to motorized traffic.
John & Frank ( on the right ) graciously allowed me to take their picture at the start of the day ....
When queried - both said something about “ remaining anonymous “ & “ guilt by association “ or some such nonsense
Despite my best efforts to distract him - John proved himself to be an outstanding navigator
