As much as I want to attend, it is Father's Day weekend which coincides with a family birthday. WRU

... but this makes me want to get things ready-er for the next parade. Canada Day convoy with Gunner Mike, I think.

Just a reminder for anyone attending this event with a vehicle.

Organisers remind you that 10am eastern time is cut off to get your vehicle in and set up. Once the public is let loose they will not allow any vehicle movement.

See you there.

And despite the name it is this SATURDAY only

Hi Stuart

I've found that corrugated cardboard makes a good one time use drip pad. We have a couple of displays sites that are very concerned about oil drips. Cut large sheets from large cartons they can be folded for carrying, I put mine between the cab and cargo box that way as soon as I park, I can pull out the folded cardboard and put it under the truck. This approach works pretty well and the cardboard doesn't blow-away like the lighter absorbent pads.

Years ago we did a display next to Old Iron Sides at the Boston Naval Yard, as we pull on to the dock a guy came out of one of the building carrying a bunch of those blue absorbent pads. Beauty was in its major oil leak period and before the guy got all the way across the dock, I'd pulled a large shallow box lined with plastic and filled with kitty litter. Putting it under the truck as the guy arrived he offered me a pad and I said "no this one is litter box trained" he laughed.

Cheers Phil
