St. Ignace Car Show – Deb snapped this picture of me checking out this very nice restored old truck. Deb showed me the back license plate and made me think how times , they is a changing. Used to be they put big flames on the side of the vehicles , now days it is cool to just have the plate say it , ha,ha.
Alpenfest 5K running coarse- Today I actually ran my first 5K run on the actual race coarse I will race on during Alpenfest in a couple more weeks. I would like to run it a few more times before race day just to know the points where I should kick it up a knotch . I just hope I don’t come in last place, ha,ha. But even if I do I will be proud of myself for giving it a try. Deb and Nicole will be cheering me on and that will be very cool and a little emotional too and very exciting.
Fourth of July Weekend – The big weekend is almost here for everyone to head to the lake and to the campgrounds. We have had so many fun summers we feel very blessed. Then after the Fourth it will be time for the Traverse City Cherry Festival and we always ejoy that too and our own Alpenfest 2010 , yippee !! Many locals actually leave Gaylord that week because they don’t like all the people and the parking problems and the congested streets. But Deb and I really enjoy the once a year festival. This year Nicole and Bill will be home during Alpenfest for the first time in a few years so that will be great fun.
Mining Machines Models- P&H 5700 – Today I worked on the model more but did not get the parts all built. Tomorrow I will be out in the shop making more lower end parts. By the end of this week I will have the first few parts sanded and primed.
Deb and I hope you all have a great , safe summer !!
