National Truck and Construction Toy Show in Indy , Kevin , Mike and me assembling the Silver Spade Model., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Silver Spade- Last weekend was the 2009 National Truck and Construction Toy Show in Indy. We had nothing to deliver this year so we did not make the drive down. But just thinking about our trip down taking the Silver Spade was a unique trip. It was the first time we ever pulled a trailer behind the motorhome with one of my models in it. We planned to assemble the monster model in Kevins room , but the door was 2 inches too narrow. This picture shows Mike, Kevin and me adjusting the steel cables.
Leon is thinking about me building him a walking dragline model next year . I am not sure yet what scale it will be , but it could possibly end up being close to this size. I have never built a dragline or a walking dragline so it would be a awesome project for me to build.
FALL RUNNING WEATHER- Deb and I were up early walking and running our training course in the cool fall weather in Northern Michigan . The first couple blocks we are cold, but we soon warm up after running a few blocks. We are both sweating like crazy by the time we get back a hour later. But the sweating is ALL good ! We’re melting off those unwanted lbs. Just three and a half weeks til race day and Deb thinks she is going to enter the race too with us. It is a fun walk/race so she is going to walk and run the course and that will be so cool !! She has never ran before her whole life and to think she is going to enter this race in D,C. and it will be the first time for both of us in our whole life , very exciting .
Liebherr – I got both outside box bracing all welded in place now. Next I will work more on the cab.
Have a great Wed.
