O&K Terex RH-400 Mining Shovel Boom and Stick gets tacked together by Northern Michigan Hobby Builder Don Campbell., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
O&K Terex RH-400 1/12th scale Model- Todays picture shows Don Campbell and the first few parts roughed in for the boom and stick . You can also see Don holding two more pieces he just cut out for the cylinder linkages.
Two Inches Of Rain- We really got dumped on in Gaylord with almost two inches of rain yesterday . But the ground is very sandy and drains very well. And the grass is very green today and needs mowing, ha,ha.
New Milwaukee Grinder- Last weekend I stopped in to Home Depot and bought a new $99.00 Milwaukee hand held grinder/sander. So now I got one for emergency backup, (:>).
Steel Tubing – I just bought 100 feet of steel to build the frame for the RH-400 model . Now I am working on the clam bucket and will post a picture tomorrow of that progress.
DHS OPENHOUSE IN CLEVELAND- It looks like I will not have time to get the Liebherr T-282 Mining Truck built in time to bring to the DHS Open House in July. The Liebherr shovel took longer to build and this Terex RH-400 will also take longer . So hopefully I will get this one done in time to bring two shovels. If not, I am planning a fall trip to Cleveland to deliver the Liebherr T-282 and the Cat D-11T
Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Duluth, Minn. and Port Huron , and the Soo Locks are four summer destinations in our motorhome . We sat home last summer with high gas prices and we are still regretting it ?, so this summer we will not sit home , last winter was so dang long ! , we are just not going to sit around this summer. Deb has three more weeks of daycare kids, then she goes to just two days a week of working all summer.
So she is pretty excited , last summer she worked three days a week. I am happy for her to get five days a week off (:>). I plan on playing hooky a few times too , ha,ha.
Have a great Thurs.
