Santas Workshop , another finished toy

Santas Workshop , another finished toy

This time of year I think once in a while how Santa must feel . I keep pretty busy year round building toys too. I sometimes think I am a little like Santa busy building toys for grown up boys.
But Santa over the years must have built new modern factories at the North Pole and streamlined for maximum production , and to keep competitive, he has got to be doing a lot of importing and exporting . With the warmer weather around the world it should be much more pleasant in the sleigh as he delivers all the gifts to the girls and boys this Christmas Eve. . Then next week he will have to have a board meeting and decide to shut down some of the factories and do a little downsizing . That always means several hundred elves will be out of work for a few months.
And then it starts all over again, ha,ha.
Cat d9-G Hear is one of 5 pictures of the finished Dozer Model. If you go to the photo gallery and go to ( cat Dozers ) section and go to page 2 , there are four more pics of the model . It is a pretty cool looking old dozer. I am very happy with how it turned out.
ACCO ITALIAN MONSTER GRADER- I am now working away on the center beam and should get it welded together and get the front and rear sections of the big model bolted together by tomorrow afternoon. It’s starting to look a little like the cool pics of it I have seen for several years .
Pouring rain and temps in the high 30’s is ruining the chances for the Treetops Golf/ Ski Hill folks to open tomorrow. They have been making snow all week all night , but this day of warm rain should pretty much do them in. New owners purchased the resort 3 months ago. With the early heavy snow we got around Holloween to Thanksgiving, they lost all sales from fall golfers. Now they have lost all sales from Thanksgiving til now of skiers. I got to feel sorry for them as I ‘m sure they were excited for their first season.
The weather patterns have been slowly warming up the last 4 years , so this just confirms the warmer air is slowly moving more and more north.
Video Clips- I have been looking for more video clips from past adventures in the mines.
DENVER SNOWSTORM UPDATE FROM TONY IN HIS GRADER- This morning I checked my E-mail for pictures from him in his grader . I got none!! I’m thinking Tony is a very busy grader operator and probably won’t be taking many pictures .
Happy Holidays Everyone !!! Remember after all the other fun stuff this time of year, that Jesus is the Real Reason For the Season.
