Cat D-11R Blade Parts- Todays picture shows my progress on the right side blade support beam so far. Next week i should get both of them done and then I can move forward to the last big project on the model , The Front Blade !
Sounds easy, the front blade , but I am figuring over 200 parts or more so it will be another big project. I am very excited to see the big dozer model blade on it.
Morning Walk – Deb and i just returned from our morning walk and it was already 65 and humid. I still got my groin pain but am happy to say the pain has let up about 50% overall . So hopefully if i don’t overdo it , I will be ok in another month or so.
Grandson Arrives – Tomorrow is a very special day for Deb and I as Nicole and Bill are bringing Terak to Michigan for the very first time.
The Gaylord Alpenfest Festival is next week so we will take plenty of pictures to share . Should be the best Alpenfest ever with baby Terak !!
Have a great Sat.
