Big Bud 747 being gased up heading south to ILL. to farm shows.

Big Bud 747 – Todays picture shows the worlds largest Farm Tractor at a gas station loaded on two lowboy semi-trucks heading towards Ill. to be displayed at a couple farm days summer festivals. It will be in Penfield, Ill and in RanToul, Ill. They could reach their first destination in two days.
I built two large scale models of the 747Big Bud and my models and I was mentioned in the Big Bud 747 Book that was published.
I also have several pictures of me in a Big Bud 747 Shirt standing with the owners as they looked at my model at the National Farm Toy Show in Dyersville, Iowa. Very Cool !
WALKING IN THE RAIN THIS MORNING – Deb and I headed out on our morning 3 mile walk and it was very foggy, but by the time we got back it was pouring rain. But we managed to get the full three miles done.
NO CHERRIES – The local news last night said it is not looking good for the Northern Michigan Cherries to be ready for the Traverse City Cherry Festival this weekend.

Record high / record low in last 7 days – Just a few days ago Gaylord hit 95 degrees for a new record high and today Gaylord hit a record for a new low in the low fifties. Cold weather is expected all week over the fourth of July .
Crude oil on the rise- With the biggest holiday of the summer just a few days away , crude oil prices are going up again, wonder if we will see $3.00 a gallon unleaded this week?

Terex RH-400 progress- I got the first half of the track pads cut out and bent today . I am still waiting for the attachment chain. The company said maybe it will arrive in 10 more days ?, it’s already been two weeks, but it is a long ways to China, ??

Have a Great Tues, and enjoy today , we might not be here tomorrow , so no sense in worrying about it, LOL
