Almost 900 Kilos of Road Cheese Gone!

Three heavy loads to the dump and a sparkling hood to show for it. This year we have had the largest turnout ever. Despite the rain! The street and alleys look fabulous! Thanks to everyone who came out to turn a rainy day into a fantstic success. Three and a half hours to complete the entire job. (Done by lunch!) Special thanks to Sara and Laura for getting hot coffee and doughnuts, John (JP) for renting a trailer and forking out for tipping fees, Marco for cooking up the sausages and providing bevies, and to everyone else for bringing goodies, bevies etc. to the after-party. All told, we went from 9:00 A.M. thru 3:30 A.M. Sunday. Good work Monmouth Road!

A good day with great neighbours and a wonderful afterglow party - I'm still glowing - well - mildly litup :) There's a few tools that went from hand to hand and missed going back to owner's toolsheds - I have a shovel out front by my porch that must have a home somewhere in the hood.

Wasn't it about 8000 lbs? 3600 kilos?
