The stores were getting very busy, but as always when we are together goofing off, we have a fun day together. WE ate at one of our regular eating places and picked up a few things. Have a nice Sunday with the ones you love.ĭeb and I drove to Traverse City on Sat. Kevin is a Christian and his parents are missionaries. I will post some cool pictures he has sent me in the future as I build new models. Kevin Kenny has been a great help to me on several projects. ![]() Thanks again James.Īnd I also want to thank another E-mail friend for his help. Seeing the dirt and dusty conditions these machines were working in was amazing they ran at all. And off we would go to the next call and help fix the next machine. Just getting to stand by the monsters after something broke and James would diagnose the problem and get on the phone and have the parts on their way from the local Cat Dealership. Getting to ride around up the mountains for 7 hours going from sight to sight watching James keep those machines working at their peak was so cool. I had the pleasure of going to work with him for 7 hours on our last visit and it was great. James is responsible for keeping about 130 monster Cat machines on the move in several mines. James is another longtime E-mail friend that we have got to know along with his great family as we have traveled to see them and made more great memories. I want to thanks James for help on this upcoming project too. The whole time I was building the Real Busyrus-Erie Shovel that you run everyday, the whole time I was building the model, it was great remembering climbing all over that too. Thanks again John for a AWESOME DAY in the coal mine where you work. ![]() It really was a monster pushing full blades of overburden. Not only did I get to climb all over them, I also got to see one of them in action. Just looking at this picture I can see a lot of detail I plan on putting in the model. I look very much forward to building this beauty of a machine. Ever since I went to this coal mine and got to see TWO of these monster dozers and climb all over them, I was hooked. Here is another awesome machine that I will make into a awesome all steel, very detailed, big model on my workbench.
