Title: Paper Plates on 128?
Post by: JoeT on July 19, 2010, 07:51:44 AM: Does anyone know why there are paper plates on posts, both sides of the road on RT 128 between Fairfax and Westford?
They have numbers written on them like -20, 00, etc.

Something to do with the re-paving project?

Technically, I think the statute of limitations is 7 years or less for almost everything- So you're probably good Josh. If there's a loophole, I'll find it ;) Shoulda been a lawyer. Hey Mike, lets open up our own law firm!

Post by: Stand Alone Defense on July 29, 2010, 01:36:58 PM: Well OK then as most of you probably know I was known to have been in trouble a time or 2 in my teenage years. Well this particular incident was during the fall there was construction going on up on goose pond rd right above the bridge. I think they were redoing the side of the road towards the river clearing trees and what not. So me and 2 other people who will remain nameless came up with this great plan one boring Saturday night. They had all these construction barrels and a couple of those saw horses with the flashy lights on them so we decided that we could but those to better use. We took a few orange barrels and the flashy saw horses and drove up to 128 right across from J&L hardware and closed the road off. We sat at family video for 2 hours laughing at the pissed off motorist having to turn around thinking the road was closed. So that is my story about changing signs and if any of you were affected by this I apologize!! Like I said I was a teenager.

T-Man,
I could not be a lawyer, I usually tend to tell the truth and have some sort of morales.
If there are any lawyers here that I offended, good.

I would take that kind of "Boring Saturday Night" behavior much easier than the kind that takes place today. I do think that is funny. I might not have such a good sense of humor though.

Post by: Stand Alone Defense on August 01, 2010, 02:10:56 PM: Well I'm glad you all think it is funny.. I guess it's not that bad we weren't out stealing or vandalizing stuff never understood why some kids think ruining or taking someone elses property fun.

Post by: Mike Raburn on August 14, 2010, 12:43:00 AM: Hey Josh,

I need a legal opinion.

These little bassterds busted out the windows of our back - hoe in Palmer.

Can I shoot them?

I know who they are, as they pulled up our survey stakes to sword fight.
I have seen them with our stakes doing STAR WARS....sorta funny!

Post by: FletcherGram on August 16, 2010, 06:24:10 PM: Was travelling to Maine this weekend to watch the Boyz race. Came upon a stretch of road construction, couldn't help but chuckle more than a bit when I saw THE paper plates attached to the grade stakes with numbers written on them. Ummm ya think vt stole an idea?
