Bart's Eye View: Commencement setup Day 1

I'm hurt. Pulled something in my calf. Not bad, really annoying actually. But the show must go on. Or else about a thousand people who want to symbolically show the world they've got their degrees won't be able to. Oh well, right?

Anyway, here's a shot of about 130 feet of steel truss about 5 minutes before it was flown up to its "home." Keep in mind that about 50 feet to the left is another 130 feet of truss. That's a lot of steel. Also, at the right bottom corner, that's a screen for video projection. So we can see our president sweat under the lights two times a day for three days. We're cruel like that. There's another one way down to the left.

We had a bunch of down time because some of our gear had to be rented, and it wasn't ready for us until later in the day. It made us go a bit loopy. It made me act like a monkey, for instance.











The one on the right...well, my boss decided to take advantage of the situation and he started to take the truss up...whoops.


Also, now debuting my new signature...hooray!

    ROOKYU (that could be a license plate, ya know?)

  4. Hi Bart,

    Been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest the past four days - but it seems youhave been, too!

    Hey, nice signature. That's a personal touch that we all aspire to. And you've kicked our collective butts!

    Nice monkey antics. Gives rise to the caption ``In God We're Trussed''.

    Take care of yourself

    David

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
