Cat 797F , Don Campbell’s next 1/12th Scale Model Project.

Cat 979F Progress- Tonight I started the first plans for the 1/12th scale Cat 797F Haul Truck. I will get the first parts cut out next week.
Hitachi Ex-8000- I am working on the last dozen or so parts for the big shovel. I have the boom and bucket attached for the first time with the tracks and the revolving frame attached. I can’t wait to see it painted either.
Hey Deb !, What’s for supper ? Leftover Chicken wings and leftover potato soup , yum plus homeade butterscotch pudding with some fresh made whipped cream , yum !
SNOWPLOWING – We got a couple more inches of snow so along with a couple yesterday I got the John Deere out and plowed this morning.
WALDON LOADER FOR SCRAPING – Today for the first time I tiltled the bucket and lifted the front wheels off the ground and proceded to scrape the ice and snow down to the pavement on my driveway. It did a great job !! I am still having fun with my little mini loader. I always wanted to buy a small John deere or a small Case loader or a small Cat loader , but this Waldon has really been fun.
COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS – Today we started getting things around for our Christmas Dinner. It really made it seem like Christmas Day is getting close now.
CHRISTIANS – Surprisingly there are very few people talking about God with Christmas so close. Lots of talk about Santa , and presents, and other things. Just another sign of the times. Very Sad.
Have a Great Tues. !!
