Well, yesterday afternoon, Tess and I met the Stick Dummy and Stick Dummy Jr. at MMA. We were half an hour late and Stick^2 had already started. He had the frame mostly assembled and we broke out the BIG drill and finished it rather quickly. After that, we attached the tires(arms), ah the smell of burning rubber..... Next we atatched the base and started adding the cement, only to find we were two bags short (I know there is a joke in there somewhere). We hopped in the blue beast to the local hardware store to find them closed as was the Southern States. We went back to the studio to let the ever patient Tess know we were going on a road trip.........Up to Martinsburg and back with two more bags of cement. We quickly added those and then had to wait for it to set. We were ready to move it inside about 40 minutes later, to discover that the casters were not happy about 300 pounds of weight on them. So after some grunting, groaning and three pulled backs, we got it in and in position. We quickly christened it with some strikes and called it a day. It was fun and educational and we will post pictures probably tomorrow. Mr. C will have fun with when he's here in 12 days. (See Dennis Conatser Seminar thread)
