Here is one of two new pics I posted today of memories of a great day with James in the Va. Coal Mines.
I have 8 pictures framed of 11″x6″ hanging on the wall of me in the seat of a Cat D-11R, driving the Cat 789C Monster Truck , me driving the Cat 994D Loader . That made a lifetime impression on me.
This last visit if you remember I got to operate the 6.5 million dollar Terex Shovel with a 33 yard bucket. There is video in the (video ) section under monster machines if you would like to see it.
Thanks again James, the picture below this one shows me driving the monster loader.
Terex Titan Model Progress- With another rain day today I am working away on the cab . It is almost done and this afternoon I should get it done and get the control box built that mounts behind it.
Then I will work on the railings that go around the cab. The weatherman is saying rain tomorrow too so in the morning I will work on the front nose of the truck. I will post the first picture of it tomorrow of the left side that is starting to take some shape.
WEIGH DAY TOMORROW – Tomorrow I will weigh in for week no, three of downsizing my body, ha,ha. I have lost 7.5 lbs. in the last two weeks. This is week no. 3 . I am feeling better already.
