Heavy Hauling Load , bolting down Komatsu for moving to Va.

Heavy Loads- Weighmaster not to worry , ha,ha. This monster Komatsu mining model weighs under 300 lbs. Todays picture shows me finishing up the lift handles as I bolt them on . You can also see the front bucket bolted down and the front lift handle built and bolted to the transport board. I will head out this afternoon to pick up the decals.
Tomorrow I will get busy working on the big Cat 390 Excavator model building transport brackets and lift handles for that.
Busy, busy (:>) These models will travel about 12 hours on a trailer to Southern Va. near Mayberry , home of The Andy Griffith Show so they have to be secure . Funny story my sister looks like Aunt Bee , really she does. Someone approached her recently asking her if she was really Aunt Bee. Deb said she thinks I act like Goober , LOL
Fall Colors in Northern Michigan . Today the colors in the trees are so bright after several nights of frost. Rain in the forecast on Thurs. , Fri. and Sat so better get out and enjoy Gods beautiful color show in the woods.
Have a great Tues.
