FYI the road work i warned you about a few weekends ago didnt happen because of rain in the forcast. But starting tomorow morning around 7am 360 is going to be a nightmare. We are working around the GM plant and im sure it will be closed to one lane..

Ill be out there for a few hours then ill be out doing my usual sign work. Theres alot of exit signs that are down and been waiting on new ones....

If I had to hold a slow/stop sign for 14 hours, I might just think about taking the plunge into rush hour traffic.:evil Just kidding. I know how you feel about standing up all day.

haha that pic looks like a guy that works in our arlington section. BUt i didnt have to hold a stop sign lol... We just shut down 360 for about 20 mins so we could get all the cones out lol... Then opened one lane... I hated having to work it but i still had a blast... I love it when people get pissed and cuss at us and just wave, smile and say have a nice day..:evil Gets them even more steamed up....

I have had to stand and hold a stop/slow sign on 1187 by mellissas parents house. Did that for about 8 hours. My friend was on the other end so we just joked around and pointed out the cars with the hotties in them:D :nana2

Mike,
I went thur there Tuesday about 2:50 heading to work. I was going north but the traffic was still slow with the usual rubber neckers. I was trying to see if I spotted U but with the helmets and the distant away and all I could not tell.
At night i come zooming thur and its better grooved now than it was before the surface was scraped off. However 360 north of 183 is good to go now , if only the slow a$$ sightseers,granny rollers would stay the h3ll out the left lane.
zoom-zoom :burnout:

Well most of the time i wear my hard hard towards the back of my head if im just walking, so i dont get a funky sun tan line... If it dosent rain this weekend we will be paving it or overlaying it as we call it....

I came through there heading to work today N. bound around 3:15, the back up was almost to Riverside golf course. Glad I wasn't headed home. But I probably would have taken a side street thur Grand Prairie or Arlington. Most motorist probably didn't know why it was backed up and hope the problem is "just ahead and we're clear". I didn't see it posted on any of those TxDOT signs. I'll see on my way home tonight how smooth it is. Now maybe I don't have to change lanes like I'm running a cone course to dodge all the holes and bumps.

There should be a message board up somewhere unless it got stolen.....

Im not working it this weekend so i dunno how much they got done....

But the guy that runs the machine that lays the hot mix(aspalt) is realy good... Its probly going to take 2 days because the hot mix is being braught from a few miles away by truck load so theres probly times where they dont have a dump truck pouring the stuff in the machine so it may look like they arent doing anything...
