DAN AND DEBBIE UPDATE- Dan and Debbie kept busy on Sunday with Danielle and Corey and their families visiting them and sharing the pictures from the wedding the night before.
Danielle and Tom will fly out today for Hawaii.
So far today we have not heard any new news about the therapy that could begin this week.
It sounds like with therapy and a back brace Dan could be back on his feet pretty soon. But Debbie will have a longer recovery time because of several injuries other than her back.
THE MONDAYS – Did you ever get a case of THE MONDAYS ??
Did you ever feel like you didn’t want to get up and go to work on Mon . morning after having so much fun over the weekend? Deb and I get them a lot , ha,ha. But today she only has one little boy at the daycare and we are both playing hooky this afternoon and are going to take him out to Otsego Lake to the State Park to play in the water.
So it looks like I finally get to try on that Speedo Deb bought me 9 years ago, LOL !! In other words, We’re on our way to the beach and our case of ( THE MONDAYS ) is now cured, ha,ha.
CAT NO 16 GRADER MODEL – Here are the first pictures of my latest model project. I was very limited as far as the tires go and these industrial style tires ended up looking pretty good. The grader has lots of detail as all my models do and I am very pleased how it has turned out. It is also a one of a kind model and this one will make it’s way to New York City to a collector friend who lives there.
Paydozer Model – I have the lower frame started and the pivot brackets built and the axles and wheels are mounted to the frame.
We’ll continue each day on my daily blog to update Dan and Debbies progress.
