Cat D-11R Assembly – Todays picture shows more progress as i built the front side platforms, the side hood grab handles, the front and top cab grab handles , the door is now cut out, and the early stages of the lift cylinder support brackets. You can also see me holding the first piece of steel tubing that is the dia. and the length of one of the lift cylinders.
Morel Mushrooms – Cold nights have stopped mushroom growing up north but hopefully this week it will happen (:>)
Mothers Day – Deb and I celebrated Nicole’s first Mothers Day with a fun day out cruising northern Michigan.
Groin Problems- Two weeks ago I overdid it working outside and am still paying for it. It is hard for it to heal with me working and lifting things in the shop everyday .
Have a great Tues. !!
