I wonder if those are coming up here, the Tilden Mine just got two new Komatsu trucks and I saw Inland Diesel heading up there with a V16 Detroit today.

 

So it's not already built??

Or is it a kit truck?

 

One of those truck equals 4 semi loads....that's including the tires....
They've been hauling the tires northbound all week on I-29....

 

Cat must be making a lot of equipment this year, I heard at work alot of our work orders are for Cat and amour plate

 

Some pics to share.

The truck waiting to be pulled inside the fence at the little house in the woods.



Maggie loves the yard and spends a lot of time hunting toads.



This is after you go through the gate at the farm. If you look in the background, behind the pond, you see a clearing. That is the site we plan to build on. The clearing is known as the watermelon patch. The road will go across the pond dam to the clearing.

 

Looks nice Jim!

 

Nice, Jim. Much better than the plot here.

 

OK, stupid Taurus X is making a clicking noise under the dash related to the blend door actuator. It functions fine but clicks like crazy when changing temps or after starting the car and using it first time. Clicking stops after a certain amount of time. Weird. I assume I need to dig in...

 

Yep.....time to R+R

 

What's inside the fenced area?

 

The little rent house where we live during the week. It is down the road and around a couple of "bends" from the last pic, which is on the farm. It's about 1/2 a mile away from the farm. An easy walk.

 

Those tires were huge

 

Those are just average, there are some that really are huge. I would love to know the age of some of them. have to be a lot older than me!

 

Oh ok, so that isn't part of your land then.

It'll be nice when it's built. Make sure you put in running water and electricity.

 

Yeah I never saw tires that big. Then again, I don't have any mining in my immediate area.
