Liebherr Mining Truck Comfort Cab as Don and Debbie Campbell check out the view in a Coal Mine.

Todays picture shows me and my best friend Deb checking out the view from this Liebherr Monster Coal Hauling Truck in a coal mine out east. Many wives could care less about going with their husbands to look at machinery. But Deb is a real trooper and is always positive and never complains going with me. She sees the enjoyment I get and shares in my enjoyment. I’m very thankful for that. Thanks DEB !! (:>).
MY FIRST 5k RUN TODAY – Couch Potato to 5K in 8 weeks was my personal challenge , but today is only 5 weeks and I took off running this morning in the cold rainy weather and ended up running the whole 5K course. So I was very excited to see I really can do this after not running for 26 years. And Deb ran 2.5 K this morning without stopping , so I am so Proud of her . She has never ran before other than me chasing her around the house, ha,ha.
So we really are doing this and we feel so good knowing we are kicking the junk food habit. We got three weeks til race day so now I can run several more days the whole 5K before race day .
Tomorrow we will take it easy and may just walk the 5K to rest our knees.
FARMERS MARKET- Today we went to the farmers market and stocked up on tomatos, sweet corn, cukes, potatos, spinach ,peaches , apricots, so Deb is making a pot of fresh corn chowder , yum ! Tonight we’re having baked chicken with homeade baked potato chips lightly brushed with olive oil . For dessert we’re having carmalized peaches with pecans on top, yum ! All small portions. Deb has lost 10 lbs. now and I have lost 15 lbs. I still got to lose 25 more lbs. but we’re both on our way . (:>).
Liebherr Truck progress- Deb had the day off yesterday and today I am not working in the shop either. So I’ll have to wait til Monday to get back to working on the last parts. It should be done by Tues. night and Wed. I can start doing the final bodywork.
Have a great Sat.
