Caterpillar Parts- Todays progress picture shows more progress on the ripper assembly. You can see now I am building the hydraulic pin cylinder linkages.
Cold, rainy week in Gaylord- I feel bad for the campers out at Otsego Lake State Park with
another cold rainy day .
Groin Pain – Some days I think my groin pain is easing up and then it seems to hurt more. I know now i am older it is going to take longer to heal as it always has. Hopefully I can still work in the shop and be careful lifting things.
What Happened to the Japanese Nuclear Meltdown ? Complete media blackout has been ordered now for several weeks as the reactors continue to completely meltdown and seep into the ground. A scientist said yesterday this disaster is much worse than any other nucleur event in history and they are doing nothing to stop it from continuing to contaminate the Northern Hemisphere more and more everyday. Their best idea today is explode the plant into the ocean to cool the fuel rods and worry about the contamination later, ha,ha. This is how we deal with Nuclear Accidents , it’s just crazy.
Have a great Friday !!
