Cat D-11R Tracks – Here is a picture of me getting a tour from a nice Carter Cat Salesman . Thought it would be nice to post this picture again now that today I am working on the design for the track pads. These will be the largest sets of tracks I have ever built and will probably ever build. Yesterday I bought some flat steel bar for the grousers. I am very excited to get going on the tracks as that will really give a whole different look to the dozer model.
Global Economy – Not sure a global economy is the answer. We often talk about being so dependent on foreign oil and we need to get off it. But no-one ever talks about the fact 60% of our daily products used in America are from other countries. Now our car parts, I-phone parts, TV parts, etc. are all getting contaminated in Japan and you know they will be shipped here .
With absolutely no fix yet , now many miles of Japan are contaminated for the next 30 years and getting worse everyday . Also everyday the radiation will increase in the U.S. with a steady flow 7 days a week 24 hours a day reaching this country. This was four times worse than any other Nuclear disaster the first day with four reactors in trouble. It is very troubling that in the whole world no one has a better answer than using fire trucks ? There is no way the pumps are going to work under all that rubble after those explosions.
Go out and enjoy the day with the ones you love because this is in God’s hands and if it is our time to go , it is our time. Maybe this is God’s way to remind us to stop and smell the roses.
I am old and I tend to worry at my age about many things as my parents did when I was young. I’m sure things will work out some how someday .
Have a nice Sat.
