    I won a Model A Ford roadster on an estate auction. It is located in Galeton, PA. I am pulling a trailer there to bring it home this weekend. Staying in Williamsport Saturday night.

    I have been looking for an affordable Model A the past few years. Belong to a local club of great people to associate with. I got a roadster/ rumble seat model that needs some TLC. I actually want one that needs some attention so that I can learn about them. There are a lot of retired folk in the club, and I figure having someone on tours who can turn wrenches would be a good way to serve.

    Had a nearby jack of all trades and firewood scrounger repack the bearings on my trailer while i was working. Stopped at his house tonight to pay him. Found he had some rounds in the bed f his truck from a tree service job down the road.

    He has a garage that he spends most of his time at to be away from his estorogen laden house. Burns wood in his stove there.

    I had a bad bearing that would have stranded me. At first light, a visit to a shop is in order. Tires are good.

    I'm 2 hours west of Galetom .
    If you're still in the area and have time , the Corning glass factory tour is pretty interesting if they still have them .

    Well I made it home with my new ride. 1500 miles, 80% of the miles and time spent it was raining, drizzling, or overcast.
    I must say, that the part of PA I was at looked to be a beautiful area if the sun was shining. beautiful streams and rivers with mountains. I likely will plan a return to the area for motorcycle touring.
