Thanks for all the kind words and compliments everyone.
All this talk of how the fleet is growing made me think of something.....
time for a new fleet picture! I haven't done this in a long time and kinda freaks me out as I look back.

August 29th 2012......




and now today.... sorry, no outdoor pics. Way too much stuff to haul out just for a photo shoot!














Ive said it many times before, Im a RC addict! do you believe me now?

time to shift gears a little......time for a few work pics!


this was by far the toughest rebuild ive done.The machine is half CAT and half Kress. A 621G scraper converted into a pot hauler or ladle carrier.

a complete nightmare of hydraulic and electronic cross breeding, square peg in round hole as you can get!

the nightmare is almost over! road testing with operator and ladle tommorow.

PARTY AT MARIO'S THIS WEEKEND!

Well Mike.... No Way!

It was not a fun rebuild. Probably because it was really out of my comfort zone. Fun at first but real happy it's done. A feather in the cap and time to move on!

I did, for a split second , think about Rc but in 1/14th scale, not a chance! No room for all the electronics, hydraulics and battery
Even if the rear frame could hold the battery.... This is not on my A list for future projects.

Lol. No amour all required at the steel plant
Go to google maps, search Sault Ste Marie Ontario . I guarantee you will not have a problem finding where the steel plant is

Every time I go there I think of Chernobyl without the radiation!

Another great paint pen to try out is made by prisma color. Being a graphic artist I've tried several and nothing comes close to there hues the application of the paints. And the tips of the markers hold up to abuse very well. Just my two cents.

Due to our new company property and fleet expansion recently.......

S&M Trucking is hiring! . 2 positions available. I'm busy running the excavator and Susan is on the dump truck so we have two highway trucks with loads to haul and no drivers.

S&M construction is also hiring! . 4 positions available.
Wheel Loader operator , dozer operator and 2 loading dock forklift operators.

Sorry, we don't pay but you get to play!

If your an RC addict and ever in the Sault Ste Marie Canada area, let me know and I'll put ya on the play roll

I love this hobby!!!!

Mario

Is there a position open for head mechanic/parts manager? I always thought it would be fun to spend someone else's money ordering things and get to install the new parts when they arrive...Of course some of your new stock will grow legs and walk out the back door and onto my equipment. When can I start?lol
