Waldon Loader Cab Door Progress



cabdoor2, originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.

Used compact loaders for sale- Todays picture is one i got of the internet to kinda give me a idea of the rear shape of the cab as it has to rotate back and forth without rubbing the rear frame. It also gave me a idea of the cab door shape . Today I got the cab door built and mounted to the cab. So i am right on schedule and tomorrow I will start grinding all the welds and get a can of body filler out and start filling the welds and sanding . I should get it all ready for paint on Sunday or Monday depending on how the Sunday afternoon football goes.
Lately I would rather be welding than watch the Packers or the Lions play. grrrr
Black ICE and ROAD SALT DAY ONE – We woke up this morning with 29 degrees and last nights damp roads turned icy. So the Gaylord City workers were busy spreading salt all over town for the first time this year. Some streets were coated with salt even in the afternoon when it should have been all melted.
Ribs on the Grill – It was cold and rainy but I was dressed warm working in the shop and decided to fire up the grill and cook some smoky , crunchy ribs. YUM !
I always split the ribs and cook them seperate so i can turn each side and get each one smoked and a little crunch before the barbe -cue sauce is applied.
Every rib is cooked to perfection in a real short amount of time.
Chocolat Haus has $10.00 Carmel Apples , YIKES I told DEb last year when we saw $7.00 Carmel Apples that this year they could be $10.00 !! And I was right as we saw on facebook they were advertised at $9.98 each. No Thanks .
We had to scratch the Chocolat Haus off our list of places to go a year ago when Deb bought three tiny chocolate covered peanut butter balls and they were over $3.00 . Deb complained all the way home and she is STILL complaining about it . Just yesterday she brought it up again.
That place is now out of our price range.
We make our own Carmel Apples these days and our own Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls. (:>)
Have a great Friday !!
