Must have gotten a little careless with the spacer welding and a bit too familiar with manhandling truss 6 this morning. As I pulled it off the table and started to jack it upright - about 20 of the welds on my 6" pieces popped and the truss started warping. Laid it down on the ground and REALLY welded the popped pieces back into place. That's what I get for working just a bit too fast. Got it raised and started welding the opposite side. Took a break a
t 1:30 for a
shower! - I was suddenly overcome by the filth factor since I spent all morning out in the sun and in the dust fixing my morning mishap. Didn't want to waste being all cleaned up so I headed south to send out some mail and do a little banking. Came back to the Field Lab at 3PM and put my stinky clothes back on and got back to work. Officially done with truss building as of 6:30PM. 81,93,56,0

Field Lab Stadium will have grand opening by Dec. 15, 2009 with an exhibition game between the Dallas Cowboys and Terlingua Taranchulas.
The construction firm of JW and B will be constructing parking facilities for 10 cars and putting finishing touches on bleacher seating for 30 fans.
Good job JW and B.
