Fallen Flags- The 1/4 scale Chessie Diesel Locomotive is slowly taking shape on the right side . Interesting fact I just found out is that in the nose of some or possibly all of the engines is a potty. I saw on a couple u-tube videos today them opening a front door with steps going down to the toilet. Said it was difficult at times going 50 miles a hour sitting in there trying to relax and (do your business), ha,ha. Not sure I will put that amount of detail inside the cab, ha,ha.
Todays picture shows the air tank clamped to the side of the frame waiting for the mounting brackets to be built. Also the right side fuel tank outer section me next too and me holding the fuel filler cap and neck. The right side is taking shape.
Nine days to Christmas and no baby yet at Nicole and Bill’s house . Got to be getting close now (:>).
KFC – Deb and I got first time grandpa and grandma anxiety lately and we went and got a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. YUM ! If it’s wrong, we don’t want to be right.
Deb and I are preparing to possibly raise Nicole’s baby ?? Well, she got a cat and dropped it off at our house and it has been here 10 years but it is still her cat, LOL So just in case she does that with Terak we are ready, ha,ha, Just Kidding !! But we are very excited.
Winter protective layer of fat – Very cold temperatures in Northern Michigan this week and we are so thankful in the last two months we have been able to build up our annual layer of winter protection, ha,ha. It is really pretty sad we gained all our weight back again in just two months . But we know it is a cycle and we will shed it in the spring as usual.
Have a great Wed.
