Komatsu pc-8000-6 – Todays picture shows me making progress on the linkage that dumps the bucket. You can also see the very early stages of the hydraulic cylinders.
Last Model – It has been a lot of fun building the models over the years and we have met so many nice people. But like everyone else the economy has taken it’s toll on people buying toys .
There is a good chance this is my last big model . God closes one door and opens another and I am keeping positive that that is what will happen.
Once i finish this last big model I will then go back to building the mini farm tractors and plows . This is what I want to do anyway so it must have been in Gods plan all along. If it is meant to be I will be able to make a few dollars and keep doing them. But if not plan B will be to sell everything including our house and head out in our motorhome out East. Maybe closer to Nicole where we could see that little baby more than 4 times a year. My workshop is so small I could set up a little tiny shop and make 1/87th size models , ha,ha.
FORE CLOSERS IN OTSEGO COUNTY- We heard on the local news last night that Everyday , Mon through Fri. since Jan , 1st there has been a new flore closer in Otsego County. Not counting weekends.
They said 120 families are losing their homes just the first 6 months . And many of these people have not lost their jobs.
So many people who got caught up in the credit card mess and refinancing their mortgages are now unable to pay their basic monthly expenses. They also that most cities and small towns are close to bankrupsy . So it isn’t just homeowners. Only 25% of Americans have faith in our own banking system in a recent poll. And now with the worst drought and forest fires were going through some very sad times.
While Wall Street is all smiles because they are not losing money , it’s our money they continue to lose telling everyone hang on , it’s coming back. They continue to skim their fair share every month living the good life.
Deb and i always try to see the positive and look at so many people that have it much worse. We worried about everything our whole life and were not sure if it was worth it , ha,ha.
The bottom line is ENJOY this one more day God has given us (:>)
Have a great Thurs.
