1/12th Scale Liebherr R9800 Excavator as Northern Michigan toy builder , Don Campbell fits the next parts in place., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Liebherr Mining Equipment- Todays picture is finally starting to look like the real machine . Todays picture shows me completing the construction of the center frame that the boom and life cylinders mount too.
WALKING OUTSIDE – Today will be the fourth day in a row of walking six miles a day again. The wind is still cold , but it really feels good knowing we can walk outside . Deb and I have walked every summer at least 15 miles a week for the last 20 years. Nicole even used to walk with us when she was young. Even though we struggle with our weight , we still enjoy walking and know it is very good for us. We have now been counting calories since Jan. 1st , 2009 so we even have control now of our portion sizes. We have really stopped eating most junk food in large portions and our problem now is eating a extra potato and butter or a extra piece of meat .
The good news is we can still both fit into last years clothes so we didn’t do so bad after all over the winter.
FRONT SNOWHILL – The front snowhill in our yard did not quite melt yesterday , today it is 2 inches high and 8 inches long, so it could go today , yippee !
DEB’S LAST DAY OFF – Today is Deb’s last day of spring break so she just took off in the car to run a few errands and just relax before she gets the pre-schoolers back tomorrow morning. The kids are always a handful after they been gone a week , but Deb is good with them and they are good little kids.
LIEBHERR CRAWLERS – Now I am designing the first parts for the first track assembly.
O&K RH-400 – Over the weekend I got the first step of getting all the info around I need to begin the RH-400 front shovel project next month. I also got some of the info around for the Liebherr T-282 Monster Truck.
John Deere Tractor – I took the tractor down to park it in the big shed because it looks like the snow might be done . I won’t take the snowblower off for a couple more weeks though. It’s not looking good for Gaylord’s annual snowfall to be hitting 200 inches after all . We only got 183 inches . We should still get another 5 or 6 inches , but that would only be 190 total . What a bummer, ha,ha.
Have a Great MONDAY !!!!!!!!!!!
