Mining Equipment – Mining toys on my workbench again . Todays picture shows my progress today getting the four walls of the revolving structure welded together. Tomorrow I will work on the bushings and inside threads of the boom and stick and prepare to start welding those pieces together .
Hot Weather in Gaylord – Over 90 degrees is rare for us this time of year but we handle it well. We have a small air conditioner in our bedroom window and rarely use it . But the last two nights we did crank it on and it ran all night . Tonight the low is going to be 72 so we will probably run it again . I weld and grind all day out in my shop in the heat and it is fine. But at night the heat does get to me if it’s 70 or higher.
Garden Tractor Wagon- I am working on Teraks first wagon and I got the sides bent up today too.
Have a great Wed.
