Title: 10 People Needed Briefly Tomorrow Night, 8PM at B&G
Post by: Blake on November 02, 2005, 01:59:17 PM
Hey all,


Tomorrow night (Thursday, November 3rd), we need a good ten guys to show up at B&G BRIEFLY to help push the dolly into its new storage location - the B&G garage. We'll be done by 8:15PM easy.

Last Saturday, we tested this process and it went very smoothly. We had seven guys pushing and they were able to get the job done. With an additional three guys, and a little more room to maneuver, it'll be a piece of cake.

So, please come and help for the 15 minutes. Obviously I don't expect people to be traveling in from Sooke, Sidney, and Metchosin for this, but if you don't live too far away, we'd really appreciate all the help we can get. We need at least 10 people.

Please post your name below if you can make it. If you've got a non-racing friend with some muscle, then bring him/her along.

I'll start things off.


Thanks all,
Blake

Oh, and does anyone know where the bright yellow straps ended up on Saturday?  We'll need em to secure the load.  Did they end up getting packed in with the rest of the dolly stuff?


Thanks,
Blake

Cool guys, that's 6-7 of us already.  Can someone extend the invite to Brian Ashmore and Shane Archer?  I know they both live in town but I don't think either of them reads this website.

Nick, yes 8PM tomorrow.


Thanks,
Blake

We had five guys and we were able to push it up the steep hill while it was raining.  So, not too bad even in the nasty conditions.  We did have to unload the carpet and loose corners first though.  We probably won't have to do that if we pack the dolly really well and have a few more guys pushing.

If it is ever icy then it'll be a whole different ballgame and we might need a rope to pull the thing up into the garage.  Either that, or just leave it in the hallway on those rare icy nights.
