There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson

The wafting smell of food brought from home and pot smoke is already starting to come to my sense memory....

Very excited.

The pictures look good, I also have been taking pictures of the progress, today they were installing the top frame  of the "stacks".. The frame is really huge it dwarfs the work men working on the steel. The screen will have to stand up to huge wind loads so it's got to be strong..

Well you best let them know.  While you're doing that, get some good pics and post 'em on here.

It's funny you say they were loading the top frame yesterday considering when I drove by in the afternoon they were working on the West screen, with the lower portion already up.

At least it won't burn down so easy this time. When does the wind testing begin?  :)

He could just stand out front of it and start talking.  That should be sufficient.

My latest photos, taken Sunday late, so the lighting kinda sucky.  Plus, it's my first time shooting in RAW (as opposed to JPG), so I had to convert to JPG for Flickr.  Not as difficult as one would think.

The D40 is a nice camera for its age. You can bump it up to ISO400 and probably even 800 no problem. ISO 800 is a bit marginal on my D70s. Stupid ancient camera. :P
