The concrete did not cure properly, because an outage at the concrete plant caused delays that let hot winds dry the concrete too quickly, the department said.

Total and complete bullshit. Concrete does not "dry." Concrete sets/cures. It takes decades for concrete to actually dry. They screwed up the mix.
Hold onto your wallets the price increases are not finished.

This is what lawsuits and/or insurance is for.
Didn't Kali's engineers check s. Or get samples.
This does not include phase 2 that starts next building season. Replacing the temporary side walls and I think some of the roller compacted concrete surface. all the stuff just to get by if the dam exceeds it's limits. As of now it has hardly risen and is way below normal. I also noticed a mix of epoxy coated (green) and bare rusty rebar. depending where the cracks are and what uncoated rebar is used the IMO the cracks are a problem. Money, the unknown and taxpayers. What could go wrong. :)
Don't tax him, don't tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree.

This is from the National Weather Service...
"A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the mountains and valleys of L.A. and Ventura Counties from 10 PM tonight through Monday afternoon.
Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will develop as offshore gradients strengthen across the region.
Gusty northeast winds will combine with warm, dry conditions and dry vegetation to bring critical fire weather conditions to portions of Southern California.
Peak wind gusts with Santa Ana winds are expected to rise to 55 to 65 mph over the mountains, and 40-50 mph over the valleys, especially late Saturday night through Sunday morning across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
Temperatures will rise into the 80’s across the valleys Sunday and Monday, with humidities in the teens and isolated single digits.
The warm and breezy conditions will persist through Monday afternoon."
LBD, excellent observations. From the very start the insider contracting and gold plating have been obvious. It took time to reveal the shoddy quality.
What else is wrong with California?
More fires maybe?
Here is my short list of what is right with Kali. Great weather and the ocean.
>Great weather and the ocean.
We also have mountains and deserts.
Colorado, Black hills for mountains and Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico for desert. I am a Californian. ;)
Rain here. This is supposedly the dry season.
Umm, those aren't California.
Rubio fired his chief of staff. Were the advances unwanted? Are these 2 consenting adults, who have been thrown together by work and have no time to date? Did she say no, and he said ok? It was consenting but they both had spouses and kids? There was a thing were you weren't supposed to date co workers, and I guess there still is. Still, this sounds like it should have been handled privately, and was publicised for political advantage.
What about the casino guy. All that money gives real power. Sounds like a stint in jail would be most appropriate, if you can get him there. Perhaps he should be required to improve his jail so it isn't overcrowded, has decent food for everybody, meaning nourishing, not caviar. A good library, teacher to teach reading and writing to everyone who needs that and a skill so they can get a job. Here they clean the highways. Wynn gets to do that along with everybody else.
No hair dye for him. No running his business from jail.
Unemployment in Florida is 3.7. Brevard county is a bit less. Some states are 3.5 or less. Dawg, and the rezt, isn't this full employment?
Good Morning!
U-3 still a pretty number not backed up with other data.
I keep wondering how the hot wind cured the concrete so quickly. Did they not control it by spraying water or something on it?
Wake up and hear the news! The roofers are here. Yay!
I see more help wanted signs each month. Housing is being built again after 10 years, and it's needed. I believe my eyes.
4% would be full employment if it weren't for the changes in the workplace. Participation rate. Double counting two job part timers. Not in workforce. Increased elderly working.
The elderly I know want to work.
Botany black people in Brevard county, but some work for the space program and not as janitors.
Not many dyac
I work at not having a job. Seriously I like doing my own work and don't need money. Looking at SS pay out figures many need to work due to not understanding the system and the extra effort needed to prepare. Crazy to think they will have enough to get up every morning and play the day away.
Speaking of filling the empty hours... Honolulu Friday for a week. We have a number of bullet points but if anyone has suggestions, please share.
You all g to watch the
State of the union?? You all can make comments and I will read them.
I will be posting the drinking rules for the SOTU. I expect Mrs Dawg and I will be out of earshot of each other during the speech.
Count me in for the Sate of Confusion speech. I will try and count the Russians in the audience. :)
A billion here, a billion there... Pretty soon it adds up to some real money...
What's not wrong?
What he said
So... If you're working two part-time jobs with no benefits for 30 hours per week, plus an Uber gig, you're fully employed?
Rich
Soon to be a trillion here, a trillion there and soon. . . .
Low 80s/mid 50s for the foreseeable future. Not that I will see the out days as I will be in Hawaii mid 80s/mid 70s by Friday.
Can anyone besides me tell Rob Dawg has one foot out the door already? ;)
Good night from the Eastern Time zone.
S’all good brah.
Expecting roof reports.
On them screwing up the concrete mix.....how many concrete plants in that vicinity could produce enough concrete fast enough to pour the whole spillway, etc? Did they hire the lowest bidder too? Yikes - they better not start over!
Cold here.
Just left materials, which they said they would. Actual work supposed to start to day or tomorrow.
Greece. Did it's economy actually get better.
Did it fall of the face of the earth?
Did its faith godmother hand over the money?
Fairy godmother.
Germany does it again. Diesel emissions tested on monkeys---and people.
Good Morning!
No heat this AM but it's going to hit the 50's. Repairman coming this AM. Looks like a code for a limit switch triggered for the blower.
Oroville Dam has a concrete batch plant on sight.
U6 is 8.1 a couple of months ago it was 7.9 for one month. Ok what should it be for full employment? I vote 6.7.
And black employment with a 5 handle.
What's wrong with California?
It's a one party state and as corrupt as any one party state in history.
Anyone else notice that Pelosi and Feinstein ( Along with 63 other Dems) just voted to give Trump vastly expanded surveillance powers?
The same Trump they have been calling Putin's stooge?
Law enforcement agencies can now access raw NSA data...
Among other results large LEO agencies won't have to worry about getting their budgets approved.
And nobody checked for quality, even though it's close by?
No, I didn't. Why can't I access that data?
Loisy cafeteria here.
New post.
