WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY - WAYDT (PICS)

@GoodtimeJohnny this was actually for work. The beer was free, which is great, but it was Spaten, which doesn’t have the greatest reputation. I have nothing to compare it to, because all the Munich breweries brew a special Festbier for Oktoberfest, but it was alright

@GoodtimeJohnny if you want to see a town that shuts down completely for their beer fest, visit this: Gäubodenfest Straubing

@Tago-Mago Ahhhh, I know these customer meetings I’d vote for tent & beer > conference room with bad coffee

No customer bonding for me today, but company bonding. Ochsenbraterei is calling.

Last year I broke a beer bench dancing on it. German Engineering going down the drain or a nice party? I leave that to your imagination. Not that I would remember anyways.

Oh and whoever wants to do Wiesn the traditional and calm way, at least there’s one last corner where you kind of get that. A bit. Go to „Oide Wiesn“, pay the little extra entrance and enjoy.

@Tago-Mago That's so wild, guess I have to move now.....

@Giles I've always enjoyed Greenwich.

One of my teams is wrapping up installation of 200,000lbs of reinforcing to get ready for a 4,000 yard mat foundation pour on Halloween for a 33 story tower we have under way.

[goosehd]

@dirtyframer how long would that take to pour?

[dirtyframer]

@goosehd we will start the evening of the 30th and finish up the afternoon on the 31st. +/- 12 to 16 hours if all goes well.

@dirtyframer

This is way out of my wheelhouse, but I was going to guess close to 20 hour. I’m sure that depends on how many pumps, how many trucks you can get per hour Etc

[goosehd]

@dirtyframer impressive and crazy when you think about it. Hoping all goes well and can’t imagine if it doesn’t. I’m sure a few expletives are uttered throughout the pour….

[dirtyframer]

@goosehd as long as the pumps stay functional we should be golden.

[dirtyframer]

@northsouthdenimguy 5x 80 meter pumps for this one with a backup if needed.

[goosehd]

@dirtyframer do you get support from the local authorities (roads shut down, priority given to trucks, etc). I can imagine there is a lot of planning on multiple levels for something like this to work.

@tody That's a terrafying thought, where would we be? Probably listening to the Glee Club Eskimos
