Diesel in a Magnum 8x8

[Rudy_Magnum]

Wifey is in hospital now. Doc yesterday said she'd be there til delivery. She's got the start of preeclampsia. Might be having the kid out in the next week or two. Already got steroids to develop lungs and blood vessels faster. 31 weeks today. Yes, first kid. They're doing well now though, yesterday was a bit scary.

Alternator is internally regulated. I got it off amazon. It's from a company called BBB. They do rebuilds.

I expect that this build will kinda slow down for now. The push is off, and so is the camping trip it was gonna go on. After baby stuff is settled, I'll be building the shop. Want to get it closed in before winter hits. Building permit will be in next week.

After many long days, and too many short nights, we're overjoyed to announce the arrival of Alexis Rose! Born at 3:38pm, July 11, 2015 at 9 weeks premature, weighing 2lbs 13oz. She's thin, but long. Daddy's little girl! Praise the Lord for such an amazing gift! Mother and baby are doing very well. Me, I'm running on empty, but my precious little daughter keeps me going! 1000 little preemie hats off to the wonderful folks at McMaster children's hospital! They've made it such a great experience.

Praying she grows quickly & mom heals the same.

Gotta love the girls, they wrap you around their finger...and tug anytime they desire . Mine punched me in the nose the very first time I held her, (I told her once) and she has never let me forget it. Congratulations and thank the lord such a wonderful gift.

Diesel Congratulations buddy. Another Ontario Argo fan starting out. Best wishes for both of your women family.

Thanks everyone! Wifey is up and walking already, though still a bit sore. Alexis is doing very well, and the nurses found out she's fiesty and has a fighting spirit. Must be the Dutch, German and red hair. All the best of the best for not taking people's $#!t! It's a good thing now, bit not so sure later in life.... Lol! We are so happy!

baby n mama update time? All ok sure hope so!

[Rudy_Magnum]

Baby and mama are both doing wonderful! Wifey is out of hospital and staying in Ronald McDonald House by the hospital. Daughter has been transferred to her own room. She's packing on the weight, and is already an awesome kid! What else would you expect looking at her parents. They say she will likely be transferred to a hospital closer to home soon, so that means wifey is coming home at that time.

Good to hear that they are both doing ok. I hope she continues to put on the weight quickly.

Beautiful little girl!!!!
Glad everyone is doing well that's just awesome!

[Rudy_Magnum]

Thanks for the good words boys! She's still doing good. Getting bigger all the time. If all goes well, will be transferred this weekend, which will be nice!

Construction starts on the shop this Friday. Hope to have the roof on within a month and a half. We'll see how much help I get.

I did actually end up going on part of the camping trip that the Argo was for. Buddy had his older argo there, which was snapping shear pins. He said he was putting roll pins in it. I told him to put grade 8 bolts in. We'll see of he listens. His machine did do pretty well though,, despite the setbacks. That was encouragement to get mine finished. Hopefully will be done this winter.

Sorry I've been MIA for the past two months guys. Argo hasn't moved, but shop is coming along. Most of my trusses are up, the rest should be up tomorrow night. I didn't realize just how big 50 x 40 is compared to the 1 car garages that I'm used to. It will be NICE to be able to work on stuff when I like without having to trip over everything else!

On the other side of things, my babygirl is doing awesome! 2 1/2 months old now, and has hit 7 lbs! She's gaining twice as much per week as the doctors expect! She's an awesome kid.
