clifford show roadway project

[civic83]

Ok guys, looks like sunday may 26th at the Ancaster fairgrounds to meet up and get the new road system painted ready to go, I propose about 10AM? whats everyone think. Who all would be in? we could bring some trucks to run too if time permits ;

[REV73]

lets meet as early as possible, to make sure we have time to run after the work is done...I would suggest no later than 10 is a good start time.

[civic83]

ok so who all is good for the 26th for sure? im ordering the plywood early this week so I know we have it for sure. Ill also grab the paint. Is someone able to buy some rollers and brushes? figure a couple rolls of shop towels too for cleanup.

Any of the "non members" that want to come for a meet and greet are welcome as well.

[REV73]

I will be there. I could get the rollers also. is 3 enough, or do we need more?

Again:

Has anyone checked the Farmers Almanac to see what kinda weather we are supposed to get?

Just an idea... they are more often right than the blasted forecasters at Environment Canada...

I'd hate to start my drive in the sun here in Ottawa, and get there to find it leakin' that Haitch-Two-Oh-no on the park. Ya just never know with that witch Nature, eh?

Well...

I googled for weather, and got this from the Old Farmer's Almanac site:

JUNE 2013: temperature 15.5°C (2°C below avg.); precipitation 110mm (30mm above avg.);
Jun 1-4: Sunny, warm east; showers, cool west;
Jun 5-22: A few t-storms, cool;
Jun 23-28: Sunny east, scattered t-storms west; warm, then cool;
Jun 29-30: T-storms east, sunny west; cool.

Their map shows 'east' being Toronto-wards, west being Thunder Bay-wards.

Old Farmers Almanac Weather

So... the Clifford show may get wet. Are there plans if it rains?

[civic83]

unfortunately if it rains theres nothing we can do about it. we can set up the trucks on tables under our tents but thats about it.

I'll be there either way.

you are coming now !

[1985 kenworth]

i'm sorry i don't listen to that stuff.i check the day before .nobody can predict the weather anymore.....mother nature dictates what she will do and when ,i say wait until the day before or so then decide,i agree either way if everything goes good with me i will be there too

[civic83]

ok guys, just got back from lowes, bought and paid for the plywood, see you all sunday!

[1985 kenworth]

here is a quick look at the roadway we were painting this past suinday for the clifford show.thats mike(rev73) sorta posing in the middle..actually i don't think he knew i was taking pictures

[Supermario]

Awesome work guys!!! The road looks wicked wish we could've been there to help. I'm really getting anxious now! Can't wait for the show, it's going to be a blast for sure.

[civic83]

Dont sweat it Mario, I know you guys would be there if it wasnt like half a days travel each way lol.

we still have a few things to add, like the areas at each end for the factories, and didnt you want an area to play in the dirt? let me know and we can add it. Also want to add working traffic lights at the center intersection if time / money allows.

We have also planned for a parking area where we can put our trucks.

[woodhog]

Roadways looks good that will be a nice addition to the show yall did a good job

[REV73]

I did not know you were taking pictures, and you have not yet received my expressed written consent to have my picture plastered all over the interweb.....my legal team will be contacting you shortly! and yes the road looks good....but there are all these little white marks on the blacktop, and my tires come to think of it...

[1985 kenworth]

Sorry mike.... but my people already contacted your people and we already settled out of court so you need to speak with your legal team.... oh wait i heard one of them say something about the bahamas....and something about they can finally open their bar in the Cayman islands

Thanks Shawn. Not to worry bout the dirt area, I was planning on bringing them with us. What is the roadway thickness by the way?

Ohh, and by the way, Mike, Dwayne ...if you keep talking bout lawyers, the next thing ya know we're gonna need RC insurance to run on the Clifford track! Lol
How much is the deductible for a twisted frame wreck??

Mario

[1985 kenworth]

i wouldn't know ...i do what most others do...i didn't go through my insurance

[civic83]

The roadway is 3/8 sheathing. Underneath we are going to join them with 1/2 inch pieces

Also I ordered a traffic light controller today for the intersection!

[civic83]

The countdown is on! everyone ready????
