Lynchburg, VA

Well this week I returned from a business trip to Lynchburg, VA.  I went to help install a seismic shake table at Areva which is a huge power company.  They will use it to test their nuclear equipment.  This table is a huge undertaking for my company.   Torquing bolts and making hoses is a new experience for me, but it really shows you what goes into the construction of a project and seeing your designs built is always exciting.  So Lynchburg is in the South, and everyone speaks in the Southern drawl and calls you "honey" or "love-bug".  Running was wonderful in the cooler, more humid air and the tree-covered hills.  I stayed in a little hotel apartment and was able to cook for myself and grill even, so I didn't have to eat fast food every day which was great.
