Don Campbell bends the first Liebherr Coal Mining Truck Dump Box side rails.

Liebherr Dump Box Parts- Todays picture shows a piece of steel in the bender along with several more pieces in my hands as I begin to work on the sides of the dump box .
These rails will give the box a completely different look and then it will begin to take the shape of the real box.
DEB’S LAST MONDAY OFF FOR THE SUMMER- Yesterday was Deb’s last Monday off so I decided to take the day off too and go have fun with her. We headed to Traverse City for the day and it was beautiful weather.
HEALTHY EATING – Raw cabbage, raw carrots and raw celery is my choice of lunch food before I eat soup or a half a sandwich each day. Today I chose a half of a BLT sandwich with fresh garden tomatos and lettuce and only two strips of bacon, yum ! and still healthy on one slice of whole grain bread. I used to be able to eat two full BLT’s with a dozen slices of bacon at one meal. But nowdays i have to be thinking of every moring and how it will make me feel running. I got less than a month now til race day .
Couch Potato to a 5K in 8 weeks at my age and my weight is going to be iffy to be entering the first race of my life. Yesterday I ran two miles non stop for the very first time and it felt really good. My knees are sore but everything else on this old body is feeling great. I think it is possible at this point.
Have a great Tues.
