Cat 797F in 1/12th scale starting construction today by Don Campbell , Gaylord Michigan Resident.

Cat 797F Parts – Today I am laying out the design for the first parts for the monster 797F Haul Truck.
I will work on the main frame and the axles first.
SNOWPLOWING TODAY – Over the last couple days we slowly accumulated over 4 inches of snow so I fired up the John Deere and enjoyed plowing snow. Last night I fired up the Waldon Loader and plowed my driveway . That Waldon is so handy and compact it is my best buy !! I have really enjoyed it and no longer plan on cutting it up with the torch.
Hey Deb ! What’s for Lunch on the very first day of 2010 ? Homeade bean soup with ham with beans from down on the farm. YUM !!
Day off from running – Deb ran this morning , but I did not as I went outside and did a lot of hand shoveling of snow . So that kinda counts, ha,ha.
COUNTDOWN TO MY SECOND RACE – I got 5 weeks to train yet for my second ever official 5K race . A 5K doesn’t seem like much , but it has really motivated me the last few months to stay focused on our health. So a 5K really is a big deal when you look at it that way.
Running should be done to relax from all the days stresses and the troubles in the world. People who get stressed thinking about running are doing it all wrong. Winning races should be the last goal for a runner if it only causes more stress.
Happy New YEAR EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
