A quit trip to the Big Apple

The only underground coal mine tour in Southern West Virginia. We were lucky to have Eddie as our tour guide. Eddie is a retired coal miner with many years of experience and was a fantastic guide.

Here is the glass bead blaster. I need a bigger air compressor with a higher CFM rate to keep up with this machine. Glass bead blasting is amazing.

Here I’m making some U Bolt lift attachments for a heavy wrecker. Finished product came out good.

Trying out the new glass bead blast cabinet. Picked this up from Redline Stands.

Doing a little surface cleanup.

Molly likes her evening social time with her humans.

My new 1960’s Lathe.

So called plowing in Wyoming. Terrible road maintenance.

Molly is awesome. She loves to play and sh is usually very gentle.

Spankey playing as usual. He is a goof

Just outside the beautiful town of Silverton, Colorado the train runs daily.

Molly is potty trained and now uses the toilet for all her business.

Some great photos of old abandoned mines and equipment. Such amazing things just left behind.

This fire spread fast due to all the dead timber. Great example of poor management by the great USFS.

When ATV/UTV fun turns deadly

Leadville, Breckinridge, and Montezuma mining history.

Spankey is stealing costume slippers today

Apparently Molly hates Frank the Pug

Spankey the Boston Terrier and Molly the Farm Cat have a moment.

Beautiful rainy day in New Orleans

While visiting Nashville we took a little boat ride and got to see a huge coal barge. Beautiful place.
