SoCal Deek

Is the small incursion over yet?

You’ll notice that I didn’t say they should just ‘hand it to him’. My comment is about the talent evaluation staff at OBD. Seems to me they should be able to spot a semi-decent OG when they see one.

Where are ya cruising to Hawk? How’s the experience these days. Haven’t been on a cruise ship since long before the pandemic.

What’s all this about now? Has someone said that Russia was/is ‘justified’?

I’m going to be royally pissed if Torrence isn’t starting this year. The kid is massive and played against the highest level of competition in college. If they can’t get him in the lineup as a rookie at OG for heaven’s sake there’s something seriously wrong with the player development staff at OBD.

For the record ‘substantial completion’ is a construction contract term that means the project/building can be used by the Owner for its intended use. Most public works construction contracts include a liquidated damages clause that allows the Owner to $ back-charge (penalize) the Builder for every day they are late in reaching Substantial Completion. Keep in mind that these type of damages are offset by unforeseen circumstances (severe weather, Indian bones, etc) which extend the construction contract time. Hope that helps.

What does any of this have to do with OBJ or DHop? Hmmmm?

So then nobody can fail here? Good to know! Time to abolish the safety net.

Now THAT me laugh. Well played.

Cost overruns are generally not due to the inefficiencies you’re referring to. And believe me when I say the ‘guy in SoCal’ has already forgotten more about public work’s construction than you ever thought you knew.

That’s definitely NOT how public works construction is done. Just saying.

What’s funny is when I actually uncovered Indian bones on my project site the archeologist said to me …”ya know, I always wanted to be an architect”. 😂

I was kidding.

Nope…the construction budget would never be able to afford that.

People…please! Everything isn’t a controversy. The groundbreaking CEREMONY is just that…a ceremony. It’s not at all unusual for this sort of thing to occur many weeks after actual construction activity has commenced. For example, with the new stadium there are asphalt parking areas that need to first be removed. That activity is not conducive to having public officials turning dirt with a gold shovel. There’s nothing to see here! Sheesh

I certainly understand the sentiment but I have to ask why aren’t ticket prices sky high in the current stadium? I mean what’s stopping them? Is there some secret switch that’s being thrown?

There was an Indian named Sheldon? Go figure!

Thanks Matt You pulled my comment up from over a month ago? I have to admit it’s still fresh today. To answer your question, did Trump lie? I assume so. Everyone does from time to time. That doesn’t negate my comment though. I didn’t say he was elected because he always told the truth. He was elected because people felt he would call out Washington’s corrupt cabal of the media and seemingly permanent bureaucrats….and he did.

Keep your chin up Homey The folks at Populous know what they’re doing. Think positive!

So you’re saying it’s being built for young, unemployed fans?

I have to agree with Kemp on this one. Everyone knows that the proper way to overthrow the government is to make up fake stories about your political opponent and then we he tries to look into the blatantly obvious corruption, impeach him for asking questions about it. I mean…duh!

I actually found bones on a construction site one time a few years back. I got to hold the jaw bone of a Native American in my hands. Super cool! The archeologist said it was something like 600 hundred years old. Turns out the site was a village, not a burial ground, so with the help of the local tribe we re-interned the bones on the property and made an educational walking path out of the location. Luckily it didn’t delay our construction all that much.

So what are we going to call the new place? It needs a working title.

Just with England? Or with the entire United Kingdom? 😉

True story…I actually knew Mr Karcher. He passed away quite a few years ago. He and his brother ran Carl’s Jr back then, even before it merged with Hardee’s.
