Ha ha ya right would I could I run in a marathon. For those of you who don't know I used to work at Eye Q and while working there I had the opportunity to help out with what used to be the Trail of Two Cities half Marathon. In years past I was well compensated for my time, this year with my new job I wasn't compensated for my hours I put in. I still had a blast, and found a different way to make some money on the whole deal. The CFO of Eye Q asked me to create a rack system to hang their medals on. So I designed and fabricated a couple of steel racks for the volunteers to hang the medals on. He was very impressed and wants me to make a couple more since he plans on double the participants next year. He also asked me last minute if I knew of a way to hang the Finnish line banner over the Finnish line. His original plan was to use rope and hope it didn't sag too much. I told him I would try and create something last minute, so I went to the steel yard and was able to create two 30 foot long steel beams to hang the banner on. Its nothing too hard to do if you know how to weld and have all the tools, lucky for me I do. Everyone was pleased with the way it turned out and also commented on how great the Finnish line looked. Next year I have to add a time clock.
