Battery charging day for me.

Waldon Loaders and John Deere Battery Charging day – I started up all five machines today and 4 started just fine and i moved them around to get the fluids moving after sitting . One of the small JD Diesels turned over very slow so I decided to charge the battery before putting everything away. This was the first time I have ever seen the two Waldon loaders and the three John Deeres parked together and it was kinda fun to see them .
Cat Scraper Progress- I got the rear axle and frame attached to the bowl and the rear radiator housing attached . Now I am designing and cutting out the rear fenders.
Chessie Diesel Locomotive – Next week i will work on the first front view picture and scale it up to 32 inches wide . That is the maximum width that it will fit through the shop door. What ever the height comes out to is what will determine the length of the model too. I’m guessing around 4 feet tall and around 14 to 15 feet long.
Runners World- It’s been over a year of running now and two official races and two medals with excellent finishing times . But i still don’t consider myself a runner. I enjoy it very much and am actually hooked on it but still can’t get the mindset i am a runner. Funny how that works .
I ran a strong 5K again this morning and love the cooler weather for running.
Grilling – Last night we grilled pork tenderloin on the grill and it was so so good, yum !!
Have a great Monday !!
