WEIGH DAY – I was pleased to see I had another great week on the scales. I have now lost 12 lbs in just three weeks. I got 8 lbs. to go to my first goal of 20 lbs. The best thing about it is we don’t eat diet food. We eat real butter, regular pop , etc. It’s all about portion control , most resturaunts serve four to five portions per person . One meal in most resturaunts is more than a person should eat in tow days .
It’s hard to believe how 2000 calories a day is not a lot of food compared to 5000 or 6000 that I eat over the winter months. But i am making the adjustment just fine.
TRI-STATE MINING UPDATE- John E-mailed me again today saying things were still shut down the the mine but they are letting them in to do maintainence on the machines. He said it’s going to be very sad going back .
Just the few hours I spent in the mines , I noticed the radios are going constantly with chatter from one machine to another. Sometjmes it’s about machine breakdowns , but often it was funny little comments to each other.
So even though they are all in different machines , they are constantly talking to each and amusing each other during the day. So not hearing on the radio a voice you knew for 17 years on the radio would be heartbreaking. Deb and I still feel very sad for the families and friends in the little mining community.
TEREX TITAN – Here is the first picture of the left side of the monster truck model starting to get a shape to it. The other side has a lot of hours of work yet to go. It is very close to 1/16th scale with these tires. I am happy how it looks so far.
RAINY FRIDAY- It’s been raining all morning so looks like I will get more done on the Terex this afternoon .
SAT. ADVENTURE- Deb and I are heading out in the morning to go see a machine I am going to make a model of this summer. We will take several pictures of it and a video clip of it too to share on the webpage.
