Hello Glenn, thank you for your kind words. Unfotunately the Norsemen you once met in Alaska would be very unlike the modern Norsemen now. Now the Norsemen in Norway throw away as best as they can. I tend to collect things and repair them, because I think it is fun. And, in the end, repairing things and using them some more years saves the resources on earth. I was in the US last year, and felt more at home with the mid-west people there than I do among my own here. So, well, I am a rather conservative person, and would like the world to move in a more slower pace than it currently do. In fact, I have 2 hobbies, they are about equally important to me. Both hobbies are connected to the two industrialists on earth that I value most, both had the same basic idea, and both were to be trusted, they did not need more than a handshake to agree, and they kept what they had said. So, one of the hobbies are as you all know by now, Ferguson and Massey Ferguson tractors, and the other is old American Fords, with the main focus on 1965 Ford Galaxie. That is why I was so close to the Southfield area last year, I visited the Henry Ford Museum, and I will recommend that museum to everyone. A really nice place to visit, so to John in UK, if you ever go to Detroit, and want to visit Southfield, do not forget the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and then remember a good lunch at the Eagle Tavern. 1850 style food and 1850 style clothes on the staff, and pay attention to "Calvin Woods", the owner of the Tavern, order Limonade, and he will tell you it is good for the scurvy. It was the highlight of my trip to the US. Oh, well, I could not resist the last one.....
