Ah the humble potato. I used to look forward to the Jersey Royals every Spring when I was living in England.
Growing up there in the 50's I think just about everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and allotments.
This sounds really cool. She is taking up a teaching position at U of M in Ann Arbor so hopefully I will get to see some performance.

Haven't had a single truck problem or charging problem on the trip. Excellent tow vehicle. Pulls up any hill at any speed I wish. Wind doesn't push the truck around, even in tornado-producing storms. Powers the camper, too.
Almost always cheaper than gas or diesel. 160-190 mile range towing.
Looking forward to this. Cranbrook is a terrific place to visit and spend a day.

Just one month to go! 🦫
