Collaboration: A FIJI connection

Sorry Tim had to do this one,

THE CHARIOT RACE and ISLANDER SET UP

First since one of my brothers has already talked about the great chariot race, ill keep this section short and brief. Also I know both of these projects involve building things, but I am an engineer so deal with it.

`The Great Chariot Race down 15th, was a great day to be a FIJI. In short we won thanks to some mighty powerful guys. What most people didn't see was 2 weeks prior, several brothers including me meet for a planning session to decide if we even wanted to do the chariot or had the time for it. The meeting went well and soon everyones idea was heard and we settled on a basic design that would be sturdy and go quick. Tim summed everything up in his blog so ill just continue with my ISLANDER STORY.

For the record this has nothing to do with booze of any sort just the week leading up to Friday. Prior to the week, the islander group came together and looked at the forecast and realized rain was going to happen. The party was set and the date could not be changed. So after several days of thinking and trying several different idea, the only way was to go and buy the largest tarps possible and tent the whole back yard. These TARPS are HUGE, so not one person could have done it alone. It took coordination from people pulling the rope to those rolling the tarp down the rope. Communication was a must or the party simply was going to happen. We worked for two days we were able to completely tent the back yard and keep the party goers dry. I could not have done this without my brothers and us being able to communicate. If we were not able to communicate and come together, the tarp would not have gone up and the party would have been very wet.
