One-Nighter. Not as Exciting as It Sounds.

Tomorrow, I am working with my brother at Fortune Bay, doing a system relocation and theme conversion. We are moving the Indiana Jones system, because the bank of games is too heavy for its current location. The beams in the second floor support structure are not rated for that much weight in such a small area, and we have to move the system for safety reasons. We aren’t moving the system very far, but instead turning the system the other way. It follows the principle of load-bearing structural members. For instance, if you put a lot of weight on a non-load-bearing wall, and the plaster start cracking and the house falls down. Well, that is hyperbole, but you get the idea. The system is too heavy for its current location and configuration.

I will be stuck in a hotel, but only for one night. I am not thrilled, but it is part of the job. At least I get a chance to take some sunrise pictures on the way home the following day. Better yet, coming home will be sweet, and it will be a Friday. Coming home to your family rocks, and when it is a Friday, that rocks even more. It's like Jerry Reed said in The Waterboy: "The only thing better than one crawfish dinner is five crawfish dinners."
