This poor ting. While we were pulling the trolley out yesterday, Dr. Bob heard the front bearing was making some noise. So after we were out shopping all morning. We got back and pressure washed the whole train. Then got the front wheel off and found out the axle is worn out. If you remember about three or four years ago, the same axle broke off. Dr. Bob welded it back on then. Now it just needs a touch up on the welding. Plus the tail pipe fell off about two months ago, knowing it needed repair work too, why not do it too. So hopefully by 10 am today the train will be back up and running.
The last picture is the John Deere. The front bucket needs some loving care too.
I have a sad note to share. Henry was the one that gave ALC the John Deere many years ago.
Henry sorry forgot his last name, was here to help Billy and his church out with putting a new roof on it. On Wednesday night everyone was out behind Billy's house swimming. Well I guess everyone else except Henry walked back up to the house to get ready for dinner. The group was waiting for Henry to come on back up. They went down and found him floating in the water. He had passed away. The only reason I heard about it was Tim Seeley heard from the new report, or something like that. Henry will be very much missed. I had a chance about four years ago to send time with him. If you go back in my blog, I went to North Carolina back then and stayed at this place called Carmel Hills. That is where Henry and his wife lived. So every day I had a chance to talk with him and just get to know him and his wife. She passed away about two years ago. While Henry first got here, Nassau, Billy and him stopped by to say hello. I really wish I spent more time to talk, but like all thing we all have to be some place of some thing like that. I gave him a hug and talked for about 5 minutes and they left to go back to Billy's place. He was a good man and he will be dearly missed. Place say a prayer or two for his family.
