Turns out some guys on third shift had been racing their fork trucks and one got loose and went into the I-beam. Didn't take much detective work to find the fork truck and driver. Those things are heavy and can do a lot of damage.
I once worked in a shop where fork trucks of all sizes were constantly in use. I saw a guy back up to a roll up door and stretch to reach the open button instead of getting off his truck. His foot slipped and instantly he had made his own doorway. There was a fire extinguisher on the wall below the door buttons. It and the truck survived with just scratches but that block wall was history. Cast iron counterweight VS concrete block wall, no contest. Have you ever seen a truck going along with its back wheels in the air because the load is too heavy?
I just talked to Robert and he said the deal is going on no matter what.
Does anybody honestly think it is going to snow enough for it to not be gone by mid morning? I'll be surprised if there is any snow on anything more than the grass.

You guys obviously have no experience with my luck and the weather. You've told me what I need to know...snow, rain, hail, whatever the school goes on. I just wasn't looking forward to towing from Knoxville to have it cancelled.
What time are you guys leaving Knoxville?
Where is everybody staying at? I'll be at the Jameson. Did I understand correctly that the Jameson has a bar in the hotel?
There's a restaraunt in front of the Jameson and it has a bar.
Be prepared for a little snow. The weather is different here than it is in "the valley." Our proximity to the mountains makes the Greeneville weather almost impossible to predict. Like Mark said, Bring it! You can always take it off.
I'll be bringing my PS2 and GT4 as well. My challenge is still out there if anyone wants to bring their GT3 and go head to head via I-link. I have a hub that allows up to 6 competitors to go at it head to head as long as each person has their own TV.
