Finished Cat Ripper- Todays picture shows the completed ripper assembly. I worked yesterday on cutting the mounting pins to length and making caps for the 24 ends. This was quite a project in itself but well worth the time and materials involved as i am very happy how it turned out. I really like the ripper mounted on the rear of the monster Dozer model.
Traverse City Cherry Festival – Northern Michigan will be busy this weekend with the Cherry Festival but no cherries ? The cold weather has reduced the cherry production and cherries must be purchased from other areas of the state.
Cool morning walk with sprinkles – It was in the fifties this morning as Deb and i walked around Gaylord but we know we are so lucky were not getting nasty weather like other parts of the country.
Have a great Tues. !!
