Hitachi EX-8000 Boom Ladders- Todays picture shows more progress as I built the three sections of ladders for the boom and stick . I also built the walkway and railings for the top of the boom. I also worked on all six hydraulic cylinders and added more parts to them and I built and mounted the two clambucket cylinders tonight.
Tomorrow I will start working on the bucket teeth and side details. I always enjoy seeing the massive buckets once the teeth are built and attached. This is the fun part of building the models once the basic look is well underway and I am close to the halfway point.
TURKEY DINNER !! AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!- Yes, that’s right ! , I don’t have to ask Deb what’s for supper , ha,ha. Every night since Thanksgiving I sit down at the table and sure enough , it’s turkey and all the extras??
I try to continue to act excited but if I have to eat Turkey one more night I am heading to KFC for a bucket of that good old greasy chicken LOL !!
Actually yesterday for lunch I grilled rib eye steaks and onions and fresh mushrooms. So I did get a break for lunch yesterday from turkey. (:>).
COLD, LIGHT SNOW RUNNING- Deb and I could make excuses now because it is cold and snowy in the mornings now. But we don’t even question it , we do our stretches and dress warm and out the door we go. Deb is doing great running again and I am still very proud of her. She only runs half as far as I do , but try running just two miles every morning and you’ll see it takes a lot to do it.
Waldon Loaders- I fired up the Waldon loaders and put them away today just in case it starts snowing .
Have a nice Monday !!!!!!!!!!
