Liebherr R9800 Bucket and Stick Construction being assembled by Otsego Co. Artist , Don Campbell .

Liebherr Bucket and Stick – Todays picture shows me holding the next part of the Mass Excavator Model . You can see the dump linkages and dump cylinders are all bolted in place and you can see the stick that holds the bucket is now all assembled. Tonight I should get the boom put together. Today i am busy cutting out the parts for the second track frame . I should get that done tomorrow afternoon and then I will begin making the track pads.
ONE DAY TO WAIT AFTER 20 YEARS – Tomorrow is the big day in Gaylord !!, I wonder if they will close school and close the city offices and have a big parade and have the Blue Angels fly over and maybe have fireworks too , ha,ha, ha.
It just seems after hearing about the Meijers Store coming to Gaylord now for the last 20 years , it is so hard to believe it happened and tomorrow it will OPEN ! (:>). YIPPEE !!
You can see it doesn’t take much to get old folks like us excited, LOL .
SIX INCHES OF SNOW IN MICHIGAN – The weatherman said the Upper Pensula of Michigan should get 6 inches of snow today. We just got a few flurries.
HOME FROM FLORIDA – My folks made it home from Florida this week so that always seems good to have them back in Michigan . They put their place in Florida up for sale this year as they may not be going back as they are getting up in years they may just stay inside next winter and hybernate like Deb and I do , ha,ha.
Have a great Tues. !!!!!!! and don’t waste the day worrying , instead enjoy this one more day God has given us. (:>).
