Liebherr R9800 Armour Cab being built by Northern Michigan Man., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Liebherr Cab ready for battle – Todays picture is the cab for the 1/12th scale Liebherr R9800 Mass Excavator I am building . I just finished cutting out 50 pieces of steel for the protective louvers that cover the glass in the cab windows. It reminds me of a Armoured vehicle the military might use. Today I am working on the cab interior and the last big part of the model as I begin to build the operators seat and the inside console and joysticks.
END OF HUMANITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!- Today as I opened the curtain to let the beautiful sun shine in the office , I sat down and turned on the computer only to read ! , Swine Flu , The End of Humanity !!
All I could think of is Deb and I have sat around all winter and have been patiently waiting for our first vacation in May . Each day we have been slowly counting down until we finally get a nice break with nice weather. And now it’s the end of Humanity ?? We just can’t seem to time our vacations right , ha,ha.
But I am looking at it positive and I can’t think of a better time or place for the end of Humanity than for Deb and I in Washington D.C. with Nicole and Bill. (:>).
With most news agencies in real trouble and on the verge of going under, it is important they grab attention anyway they can.
Thirty-Nine thousand people died last year from the flu , so far one person has died in the U.S. from the Swine Flu.
So I’m betting our vacation will be great fun despite the news headline this morning , ha,ha.
SOO LOCKS CANCELLED – I read today that they changed their minds and now have cancelled the 490 million dollar super lock project . Many people are shocked because it was already ok’d.
But plans are still a go for 17 million in updates on the current locks.
CHINESE TAKE-OUT – Deb and I spluged last night and went out for supper to the Chinese Resturaunt , umm , it was heavenly !!
Although we shared one meal, it was still over 4000 calories total.
OUCH !! , but great fun.
Just our way of saying THANKS to the Chinese for all their generosity keeping America with Trillions in Bailout Money. I sure hope we don’t have to pay it back right away ?
Morel Mushroom – We will get with our friend this weekend to see if we can get us a batch of early, dark Morels. It could be the weekend they start popping up as we have had rain and a couple warmer nights.
WHO’S YOUR DADDY – Nicole’s husband Bill has a identical twin brother Fred, Fred’s wife Lindsey just had a new baby girl . We are also looking forward to seeing the new little baby on our vacation in D.C. .
I can’t help but wonder if the little baby will do a double take once in a while when she sees them both together , ha,ha. and wonder, Who’s My Daddy ?? (:>).
HAVE A GREAT THURS.
