The Steves Arrive Safely in Austin
Jean Sexton reports:
Steve Cole and Steven Petrick arrived in Austin today around 5:10 pm, their time. They left Amarillo bright and early this morning at 7:30 am and headed down the road with a truck loaded to the max with the mezzanine from the old building.
They told me they made good time, although SVC said that at the end of one of his shifts his ankle was tired from constantly changing speeds (the highway they were on ran through all sorts of towns and wasn't really an interstate) and his hands were going numb from gripping the steering wheel so tightly.
There was a lunch break in Bowie--apparently they took a suggestion from me to be an order that they would sit still at a place with real chairs and eat real food. (smile) I am glad they did as they had been traveling 5 hours at that point.
I know that assembling the mezzanine was a time-consuming process the first time they raised it. I have a feeling it shall not be easy or quick this time either.
By the time you read this, SVC and SPP will be resting in the hotel, watching TV or perhaps reading a book. Let's all hope that tomorrow I am not blogging about the mishaps of the day, but it is a report that all is on schedule.
