This community has been great for me and I am thankful for all of the tractor shows and meet ups, particularly the Portland gathering every year. Several of the members also came to my aid when I had a couple of mischievous neighbors causing by legal troubles.<br><br>Trust me, I owe this community more than it owes me so I am glad to provide as long as folks enjoy it.</div><div><br></div><div>I am going to pick up a tractor for a list member in May. In the process I’ll catch up with several list members; including some other folks who; while not list members, have been tangentially close to us and important.

We had two bouts of accumulating snow here n March in NW North Carolina. It’s been wet, kind of cool, and mostly windy. So no Haywagon or 430V progress is been made. However it has given me the opportunity to complete the migration of the ATIS servers.<br>
<br>
So the migration is complete. For the first time in over 20 years I no longer have a server on my property. It’s a bit of a sad day, but a necessary one.<br>
<br>
I now have a virtual server in the cloud, and host all of the services there: the mailing list, the bulletin board, the website resources, and hopefully more in the future. This new “home” will give me more flexibility, more relevancy in today’s world and hopefully greater speed and reliability.<br>
<br>
More to the point I hope to get everyone’s feedback. Please let me know if you see anything that’s missing. I migrated anything of value to the new website, like the salvage yard list, the cub FAQ, etc. but of course I may have missed something and would love to hear your response if I did.<br>
<br>
And try out the new forum software. I think you’ll like it!<br>

Ps: The list archives are still being converted. I have completed my end of the bargain, but it is now up to the cloud provider to finish the job. I’m currently waiting on them. This is one of the downsides of not having complete control. Occasionally there is a step or two I need them for and simply have to wait.<br>
