Liebherr R9800 Track Assembly’s and Track Pads being built by Toy Builder Don Campbell .

Liebherr Tracks- Todays picture shows the tracks laying loose over the track frames for the first time. Once they are connected and the tension is applied they will tighten up . You can also see some of the other parts I am working on. I am still planning on this weekend to get it completed and start doing the final sanding and start priming the parts on Monday.
MOREL MUSHROOM FRIEND HAS THE FLU- Another person we know has a real bad case of the flu , our mushroom friend . He said he has never been so sick before and it’s been over three weeks now. I sure hope he recovers soon so we can go mushrooming with him.
DIET UPDATE- Deb and I are in a slump , we have not stopped counting calories and we have not stopped walking everyday . But this shows that your body adjusts and you just can’t lose weight without starving and increasing the daily hour of exercise to even longer. We just don’t want to starve all summer and not have any fun.
So we are just accepting this is who we are and we have to be happy with our fat , chubby bodies , ha,ha.
NO MORE PONTIACS – Deb and I have had several Pontiacs over the years and it is a surprise they are saying they are discontinuing them. But something has to go as our government is now the only reason that GM and Chrysler are still open. They don’t have a clue how to run these companies and more and more Americans are not going to buy anymore American cars. They feel they are too expensive and too cheap . A Ford Focus is now over $20,000.00 Very Sad.
NEW SOO LOCKS , BUT NO BOATS- For the last thirty years they have tried to get the government to agree to build a new , larger locks at the Soo . Now it has finally been passed and next month there wil be a ceremony for the ground breaking. But it couldn’t have happened at a slower time in history . This is the slowest start to the shipping season in over 40 years and it is expected to stay slow the whole season. But we will still go camping this summer to the Soo Locks, boats or no boats, ha,ha.
HAVE A GREAT WED.
