Default Putting in work with Mr. National

The construction company I work with has several guys that were born in Ireland. So most of them have only heard of or gotten into our football once they moved to the US. They always hear of me taking off work to go somewhere to play this electric football. Not only had they never heard of it, but they could not imagine how a football game is played on a vibrating table, with plastic men....how do you do this, how do you do that....yada, yada.
Bringing in the tweak mags with all the pix could not do the trick, showing the vids on the cell phones or my itouch only confused them more
So I decided to bring my 308 49ers board to the job site. Pictured are my guys that I'm working with, but just about every trade had a guy come by to check out the buzzing! One carpenter said he hadn't seen a game in 30yrs!

In the 1st photo left to right we have:

Brian Levy, Chris G, the big tall string bean is Tom Ryan from Ireland (county leach), and last but not least is Noel Morning from Ireland (county donegal).

We take a short break, so I was only able to run a few plays for them...a couple of runs and then the biggest question was "how do you pass?" So I showed them a pass, and Crabtree took it to the house on a 60yd catch and run!!!!!!
I didn't hit the pass on my first attempt....never tried it wearing my hardhat! Brian couldn't believe how fast the ball comes out. I told them guys, thats where a lot of arguments start at..and if a tackle was made or not.

I have to bring it back because loud mouth Noel says he can set up a defense that would stop me. He didn't even know how many guys are on the field at a time. But asked me how many people are on Galec football at a time...I said I'm not playing electric Galec football, I don't care!!!!
Another thing he said is that he would make some frames for me. 1 out of sheet metal, 1 out of fiber board & 1 out of plastic. He is a pretty good carpenter. He was looking all under the board and was intrigued by the design, so maybe we will have a new board builder on the horizon?

The last pic is the guys on the scaffold applying the stucco to the newly built houses.

Thanks again to Reggie for building such a durable, lightweight field. Of all the boards I own, this is by far the Timex of all boards "Takes a licking, but keeps on ticking"
