Hitachi EX-8000 Mining Shovel Video – ( CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FIRST VIDEO OF ME MAKING THE HITACHI CAB )
Today’s picture shows me holding the cab walls and roof after welding them together to get the roughed in cab.
You can also see another part being cut out with the plasma cutter ready for grinding.
RAINY DAY – It was a rainy day but we managed to get our morning running and walking done between showers. It was 41 degrees and nice for running. Deb added a couple more blocks of running today . (:>).
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING – This weekend we should get almost all our Christmas Shopping done . Not sure if the shopping season will be as hectic this year with so many people unemployed in Michigan. Todays unemployment number in Michigan is 15.1% but they say in reality that means 20% so it is pretty rough .
LAY-A-WAYS- It has been many years since I remember Deb going to do Christmas Shopping and laying away gifts. We see on the news where people are doing that again. We are glad we don’t have to do that anymore. When we were first married I remember Deb doing that . I remember Deb waiting to get her last paycheck the week before Christmas and she would hurry and go get the last presents with her last check. We always had fun at Christmas time and even now I hear the excitement in Nicole’s voice on the phone talking about this years Christmas Day plans. (:>). Deb and I still get excited too and remember all the fun years together .
Have a Great Thurs. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
