Good Thursday morning Southern California !

Good morning guys!

Great pics Trey

 

coffee's on and the books are out. After 3 hours of sleep I'm wrapping up my studying for today's two finals then at 3pm today summer starts.

 

He's been lights out all year. The stars must have aligned last night, 'cuz no matter how good a pitcher is throwing it takes the whole team to make a perfect game happen.

Have to love it as a baseball fan, and props to Buster Posey for handling the game from behind the plate.

 

A couple of nice defensive plays didn't hurt either.

I didn't mind staying up past bed time to watch the end of that rout.

 

Unfortunately I did not get to see it, as I had the cable turned off on the 1st. (Internet goes on the 18th) as I am moving. Only have two more days to get all my cra... I mean stuff out of here. That is cool that Matt got a perfect game.

Those helo videos are cool, next time I need a bottle opened, I'll call that pilot.

Apparently some kind of sporting competition is going on.

 

Afternoon SoCal!

Well I finally crossed over into new slacking territory...10,000 posts...holy cow!

Sorry for the anticipation of it all...I was traveling home from LAX today...just got home.

Have a great one!

Joe.

 

Congrats Joe, I was going to wave to you at 30,000ft tomorrow but you're back a day early.

 

Bought a real nice Bedrock 608 tonight at an auction.

For $20!!!

 

Good Friday Southern California ! TGIF

Good morning guys !

 

Morning SoCal!

Well it's Friday and I'll be home this morning with the painter (yeah I'm getting lazy in my old age)...he's a great guy and I can't complain about the price or the quality!

Hope everyone has a great day...the weekend is upon us and it is going to be HOT here in Indiana!

Joe.

 

Had to look it up Sounds like you got a great deal.

Are you going to use it, or is it a wall-hanger?

 

I've got to do a little research. But I'll probably flip it on eBay. I've got a #7, although not a Bedrock. Don't have much need for a #8.

It was a club charity auction, so I opened the bidding at $20. Apparently no one else knew what it was. Shoulda bid $5.

 

Nice find, Bill.

If the current prices on ebay are any indication, you stand to make a few bucks on that.

 

Looks like that project up at Lake Crowley may be in jeopardy. I got the soils report from the owner (wish I'd seen it sooner), and it's not just as simple as digging a foundation and pouring the concrete. The soil in that area is incapable of supporting the proposed structure. Per the soils report all footings and piers must be over excavated to a depth of 2 feet below the base of the footing (5 ft) and 5' laterally, then backfilled and compacted, then we can dig the footings, lay a stabilization barrier on the bottom, add and compact 12" of 3/4' gravel, lay another barrier and another 12" of 3/4" gravel, the pour the footings. So, we're looking at removing, then backfilling and compacting 450+ cubic yards of material before even beginning to build the foundation. I talked to the soils guy yesterday just to be sure I didn't miss an "if" or an "and" somewhere in the report, but I didn't. He said the groundwater is so high and the soil is so poor that basically what we're trying to do there is build a boat. A rented backhoe and my little compactor are a joke...we're talking excavation/engineering company to come out and prep the site. I don't think the owner is going to be able to survive a hit like that. I feel bad for the guy.
