Hitachi EX-8000 Stacks and air cleaner units.

Hitachi EX-8000- Todays picture shows the rear corner view of the real machine and kind of shows the rear exhaust stacks and air cleaners units . That is what i am now working on . Should get them done on Friday. Then a small crane is mounted on the top deck yet and another box next to the crane . By Sat. night the top deck and railings should be all done. Then I will have to cut out the front left corner and build the large folding stairs. Monday i will attach the boom and bucket for the first time to the center frame . Tues. I will get going on the track frame parts.
RAINY MORNING RUNNING – Deb and I had to wait a little later this morning to get our run in because of the rain. Even though we did get a little wet before we got back, it was a good feeling we got another day outside before the snow flies.
Hey Deb !, Something Smells GOOD !! Deb is busy making cherry tarts, and fresh dinner rolls for Thanksgiving Day. I love the smell of the turkey as it fills the house with that great aroma.
FOOTBALL – Tomorrow will be a fun day of watching football !! Now the games are getting good and it is really fun watching them.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IS DONE !! – Today i took a 3 hour lunch hour and Deb and I goofed off and officially finished our shopping . Now any additional gifts will be determined by long lines and full parking lots, ha,ha.
DANCING WITH THE STARS- Deb and I stayed up last night and watched the last show of the season . We don’t watch much TV but we do enjoy that show along with the biggest loser. Deb always used to tell me I was the biggest loser she ever knew , but now that we watch that show I’m sure she thinks otherwise, ha,ha,ha.
Snow for tomorrow night – We may get some light snow tomorrow night as the moisure moves down from Canada and the temps dip below 30 degrees. So far I have not made any money plowing snow with my Waldon Loaders. I keep telling Deb they were good investments , but that look she is giving me lately suggests otherwise, LOL Just kidding, she is glad I got them and she saw how much I have already enjoyed working on them . They brought back a lot of fun memories from long ago of me puttering outside on big toys.
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING – Deb and I hope you all enjoy THANKSGIVING DAY and get a day to relax and unwind a little bit.
