A cool shower never felt so good – especially considering how much has been accomplished in the last two days. We got settled at Christine Bleyhl’s house yesterday evening and were swinging hammers by this morning.

The ‘group’ system seemed to break down pretty early this morning, but it wasn’t a problem at all. Everyone seemed to find a comfortable place to work. Luke, Dusty, and I built the construction table before joining Lyle, Melissa, and Johnny to build shelving in the shipping container.  All of the material from the truck was loaded into the container shortly after lunch. We re-assembled the corner detail and framed the future west-side platforms.

The adventure began when Mike and I returned the truck to Budget. Pauly D followed in Mike’s pickup in order to drive us all back to the Fairgrounds. But the pickup’s transmission went out and he just managed to limp to the rental store.  In the meantime, Mike and I called a tow truck and arranged for a ride from Johnny. We all made it back to the Fairgrounds about two and a half hours after we left. But thank goodness for cell phones – it would have been a complete disaster without them!
