Mike,

Good to hear that you are back up and running even if there might be a
little miss once and a while.  :-) In regards to Fotki, I can truly relate
to your issue with missing photos. I'm supposed to have over 35,000 photos
on Fotki. Most of them tractor related. I've been in contact with the owner
of Fotki recently and they have promised me that none of my pictures are
lost, a huge amount of my pictures aren't there right now, but when they get
the second set of servers up and running in Estonia, they will became active
again.  I was told the second set of servers are in a cargo container and
headed to Estonia right now via boat.  I don't know where they have my
missing photos' stored right now but the total storage is supposed to 78,660
GBytes for just my account.  I would guess at least half of that is missing
right now.  I wouldn't even want to think about having to upload all that
again.

I am still around, Richard. And I thank you and others for asking about me.
Reading the Email and thinking about the tractors has kept my brain active
and functioning.

While I am still (reasonably) sane and rational and in good physical health,
the doctors won't allow me to drive or operate tractors (due to a seizure I
suffered on July 4). So this limits my activities and my contributions to
the ATIS discussion. I do, however, read EVERYTHING that comes through.

Because of my physical/mental limitations, I am going to have to get serious
about selling off most if not all of my tractors over the next year or so.
The first to go will be the non-runners and duplicates. But I would hope to
hold off until at least the Spring, as the prices for any kind of machinery
in the Fall and Winter are poor. On the other hand, some of my stuff is
going to be a little hard to sell, no matter what the weather, so "no
reasonable offer will be refused". You can see some of my "collection" at
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/>, The website owner suffered a hit
during Hurricane Sandy this winter, so I need to re-post images that have
somehow disappeared. But if anyone has questions about individual items,
contact me off-list at <mikesloane at verizon.net), and I will get back to you
and provide additional information and images. One of the first things I
need to move out is the Ford 2N with two auxiliary transmissions - giving
the equivalent of ten speeds froward and three in reverse. (The Bad News is
that the freeze plugs popped because I was unable to drain the cooling
system when the temperature dropped below freezing, so the tractor has to be
treated as "ran when parked". The Good News is that everything else is in
decent condition.) It is also going to be a real pain to dig out of my
neighbor's barn when it comes time to remove it. (And I can't do much to
help.)

Best wishes,

Mike
