Liebherr R9800 Excavator Bucket- Todays picture shows a bucket on the real machine like the model I am starting to build today. The bucket is 189″ wide and can scoop 54.9 yards !! Now that is a BUCKET !, ha,ha. This morning I cut out the bucket sides and am working on the bucket linkage parts.
SIX SHEETS OF STEEL ORDERED TODAY- I just got done calling in a order for 6 full , 10 foot by 4 foot sheets of sheet metal . I have some on hand to get the first 25 parts made . The metal should come in tomorrow afternoon and I will go get it sheared into smaller pieces.
BERLIET PAINTED TRUCK – I got the wheels on the painted truck frame today and I will get the cab interior painted this afternoon.
RIB EYE STEAKS ON THE GRILL- It seems so good not to have to shovel snow to get to the grill. (:>) I still have a 4 ft snowhill out back next to the grill. Today for lunch I am having leftover steak with some garlic , butterton potatos, umm !!
There is a commercial on TV and the family is the Butterton Family. It shows them with several food dishes on the dinner table with a full stick of real butter sticking out of every bowl, ha,ha. Deb and I only eat real butter , no diet butter for us Buttertons , LOL Could that be part of our weight problem, ha,ha,ha. Don and Debbie Butterton loves real butter ? Nicole is a Butterton too because last time we were at her house she made Garlic Potatoes too and there were TWO full sticks of Real Butter sticking out of the potatoes, REALLY !, she used 2 full sticks of butter !, it was delicious !, so I know she is the daughter of Don and Debbie Butterton , LOLH
Have a Great MONDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
