Fred Heim from New England- Usually when someone tells me about someone building crafts out of wood, I always think that would be fun to work with wood too.
But when somebody tells me that FRED HEIM just completed another project out of wood, you can bet I will be looking into it.
I have a video of Fred and I in the Video section on my webpage showing me and Fred checking out his 1/2 scale semi truck with the 1/2 scale Cat Dozer on the 1/2 scale Lowboy. It was just amazing. Fred let me climb in the cab and it made me drool like I was eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, (:>).
It’s just mind boggling to think this is all wood, he even made the tires out of wood.
But the real surprise is that the excavator and the Dozer were static models.
But this Loader is a RC working loader !!! It has a 6.5 hp engine with hydraulics and everything. JUST AWESOME FRED You are my HERO !!!!!!!!!!!!! (:>).
My Brother Dan and his Wife Debbie Harley-Davidson accident Update- Deb and I talked to Dan’s wife Debbie yesterday. She sounded like her old self again. She is starting to walk with a cane, and said they should be back home in 8 more weeks. They are still at their daughters house being cared for .
Debbie said the doctor told them this week they are way ahead of his projected recovery time and is very pleased. Debbie said they have been out to eat at Applebees and to Sams club and go for rides in the car. She said Dan is walking to town and back every morning , but is limited to any lifting yet. She said Dan spent the day on Sunday having fun at a area air show. Debbie said they go over to their house two or three times a week for short visits. We plan to stop and see them on our trip back from D.C.
Austin-Western Screen Plant Sanding - I am sanding the screen plant model today and will get it primed this afternoon.
FORTY-FIVE DAYS OF EATING HEALTHY- Well, we made it through another day closer to being healthy. We know our golden years are winding down. We officially ruled when we turned 45 years old, we began the beginning of our ten years of goldenness ? I am now 55 years old and this is our last year of our Golden years. Starting next year it is a bonus. I also thought I would only live to be fifty years old. So I am on 5 years of bonus living right now, (:>). I see so many people who waited too long to do anything or go anywhere together and one of them gets sick . Then it can never happen. After this year, if one of us gets sick , we at least got our full 10 goldenness years used up. (:>).
We can then sit back and enjoy our antique years without any regret. The Antique Years start at 60. So we got 5 years of who knows !! just to goof off, LOL !!!!!!!!!!
FRED’S WOODEN BUCKET- The picture below this one shows the framework Fred made for the loader bucket.
