DON CAMPBELL MODELS WEBPAGE HITS 850,000 VISITORS TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am slowly inching my way to a million visitors , that is very cool !!
I appreciate all of you who enjoy looking everyday. That is what keeps me motivated the most to continue do this. Without all of you stopping by and all of your positive E-mails, I would have shut it down a couple years ago. So a BIG THANKS to all of you !!
SILVER SPADE- This picture shows the massive crawlers that move this 14 million lb machine. It is 200 feet tall  with a 105 yard bucket. Each crawler is 34 ft long and 8 feet tall. Steve Snetta E-mailed me yesterday and today and said he should get the info tomorrow to help on the Silver Spade Model.
Once I get the info I will start looking it over to see if I can start converting the info to 1/24th scale.
DAY 8 OF HEALTHY EATING and weigh day !!- We been back a week now and eating good and walking 6 miles aday . Deb lost 4.5 lbs. and I lost 5 lbs. So we are very pleased about that. We are hoping by next Fri. we will be back to our weight we were at when we left for vacation. It sure is easy to gain 6 or 8 lbs in 10 days, but it comes off very hard. A article said yeaterday just losing 11 lbs, decreases a persons knee problems and artritis problems by 50%. It also said Resturant food is ( 60% ) higher in CALORIES than food cooked at home.
SHED UPDATE- The builder is still waiting for the permit from the county , so we have made (no ) progress yet. It’s a little frustrating .
OUTDOOR MUSEUM VISIT NEXT WEEKEND- Weather permitting we will drive down towards Muskegon next weekend and check out some more cool old machines. I will continue to post more pics of our last museum tour .
Richies Cat loader on hold- I am in the fall work mode and I have set the toy building aside all week. I am working like crazy again today outside.
Fall is my favorite time of the year. We are going to buy more apple cider tomorrow at the farmers market but no greasy donuts (:<). Even without donuts, Cider is high in calories. One cup of cider is around a 100 calories.
There is another picture of the Silver Spade below this one.
