Cat 16M Motorgrader- Last fall here is another picture from our coal mine visit. This is one of three and the newest grader they purchased to keep the haul roads smooth.
I think operating a grader would be 10 times harder than a excavator, a loader or a dozer. Plus the grader operator is the last guy doing the final grading so it has to be perfect . (:>)
Cat D-11R 1/3rd scale model progress- Today I will cut the windows out of the cab walls .
Gaylord Snowfall – The Gaylord Herald Times shows us over 40 inches below on our snowfall. We have still not replenished our snow from the warmup and rain 10 days ago. Terrible snowmobile conditions now.
Feb snowplowing – Tomorrow I will send out the snowplow bills for Feb. and I have only plowed four times this month . So that means a small plow check for us and that means Deb has to cut back on her high maintainence lifestyle for a while, ha,ha.
Have a great Sunday !!
