Don Campbell checks out a nice shiny Cat Loader.

P&H 5700 Track Progress- Today i will finish roughing in the car body enough to attach the center steel plate that holds the center spindle and bearings. Also this weekend I will experiment and test a couple ideas for making some track pads that resemble the shape with tapered angled edges with a nice thickness to them for a more realistic look. They must also be very strong to hold up the several hundred lbs. that will be resting on them.
Day 11 weightwatchers- Deb and I continue to work at losing weight again for the 2 dozenth time, ha,ha. We really feel full each night and we have the option everynight to use flex points if we do want a little extra treat. We are eating a lot of brocolli , brussel sprouts, carrots, and asparagus for our premeal filler food. Then when we get to the meal it is much easier to have control of the smaller portion sizes. It isn’t even about a bunch of crazy exercise if we can’t get control of the main problem of wrong choices and large portions. Each morning we write down our meals for the day so we have a plan and do not go to the fridge or cubboard for food just for fun eating.
MOREL MUSHROOMS- It has been very dry in Northern Michigan and frost several mornings last week so it has been a very slow start for morel mushroom season in this area. Our friend found two white ones but no dark ones yet.
Have a great Saturday !!
