It’s been quite the Travel time lately as Actorboy has ventured out West to shoot some footage for Spec Mix and Quikrete, made a stop in Indiana to visit the Boral Bricks Plant and then off to Chattanooga for TVA digging into the world of Nuclear Security. What a Wild Time it was traveling as I got to go to Vail, about 100 miles West of Denver and got Altitude sickness. I’ve never experienced anything like that before, and I don’t recommend it for anyone, but after 24 hours I was ready to go. Of course, there’s was no stopping the Video crew as we chugged along, water and Advil in hand. Vail was beautiful as I’d never been there and the first good snow of the year was on it’s way down. The mountains were priceless to witness and I hope I get the chance to go back someday, after I win the Lottery, and take up some skiiing. I’m not that good at it so I’ll make sure I have good insurance first. We ventured into a Mine, watched a $40,000,000 home get put together with some Quikrete product, watched up close as they patch a highway for the DOT with DOT Mix and got to meet the infamous Gallegos family. They do the most beautiful work I’ve ever seen when it comes to stone. Thanks to the Spec Mix and Quikrete crew for their hospitality and I can’t wait to get back to Denver. Terra Haute is where the Boral Bricks plant was and believe me it was an awesome trip to watch clay get turned into brick actually getting up close and personal with the plant itself and all the robotic equipment inside. Millions of bricks being made and with them being the new sponsor of the SMBL 500 in Las Vegas where they crown the Worlds Best Bricklayer, you can bet I’ll know all there is to know about the Brick if anyone tries to give me a pop quiz. From Boral, it was off to TVA in Chattanooga for a series of Videos on Safety and Security when it comes to Nuclear Reactors and possible Terrorist Attacks. It was the most informative and technically challenging piece I’ve done yet. You don’t realize what goes into making our country safe until you get to see what goes on behind the scenes and realize how well trained we need to be to stay on top of things. Everybody has a piece of the action and don’t think for a minute that we don’t do everything we can because we do. Thanks to all of those who help keep us safe every day. Well I can’t believe all the miles I’ve traveled this last part of the year and let’s hope it’s not over yet. Oh yeah, did I mention that I probably ate way too much on the road? Well, I did. Now I’m paying for it as I once again have to pound the pavement so I can fit in my jeans. No, I really packed on about 10 while on the road. I didn’t exercise at all so it’s my fault. Well, back home for a while and we’ll see what happens next. Thanks for stopping by.
