California Coast - Big Sur Wednesday, April 16, 2025 REMOTE-CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT REPAIR STRATEGIES AT REGENT’S SLIDE, MONTEREY COUNTY – Repairs to Regent’s Slide, which closed Highway 1 on February 9, 2024, are now being bolstered by the introduction of remote-controlled heavy equipment. Working closely with Caterpillar Inc. and other contracting partners, the incorporation of this innovative technology is intended to increase production and protect worker safety at Regent’s where crews are challenged by the height, steepness, and instability of the slide. Bulldozer and excavator operators have been trained to use this remote-controlled equipment that can perform under certain adverse site conditions and at locations that may otherwise not be safe for crews to operate. Remote-controlled equipment capabilities will be used to complement ongoing traditional repair strategies. A new landslide which enveloped the repair site in August 2024, continues to move at over one foot per day. Caltrans continues to perform daily geologic assessments to determine if it is safe to conduct repair work. Given these conditions, the introduction of remote-controlled equipment will allow Caltrans to take more risk than would be advisable with crewed dozers and excavators. Repairs to Regent’s Slide are now expected to keep Highway 1 in this area closed through summer 2025. As the efficiencies with this innovative remote-controlled equipment are realized, Caltrans will provide regular updates on progress on these slide repairs and an estimated reopening date. https://www.facebook.com/BigSurStateParks

Grilled pork rice egg soup iced tea here in Cambodia $1 us

Wanted to get away for songkran didn't realize they celebrated here as well but after 3 days it's over here. First visit to Kampot after seeing steady Eddie's video that he posted a while back it's been a place I've wanted to see. It's definitely very laid-back. A lot of expats have retired here after having conversations with a couple they think it's the best decision they've ever made they're really happy here I can understand why. I just can't believe how inexpensive things are. They have a transportation app here in Cambodia called Passapp. Here you can go from one end of town to the other in one of their rickshaws for about 75 cents. They do have a entertainment area down on the waterfront that's very nice but as far as girls and adult activity it's limited. While they do have quite a few small beer bars what's available is really appalling really bad. They also have a street that has five or six massage places but they look like Shacks ready to fall down. Hear a few photos from around town

About time they changed the name of Walking Street it's not a patch on the one we have here red Street more suits it look forward to meeting up and comparing notes on our trip here in Cambodia having a great time hope you are as well there

I'm 1300 miles east at the moment M8...thanks for missing me....a few night snaps of A/C's Fields Ave and Red Street in the "post a pic you've taken" section..will be local very soon....

Read a review this morning of the in running exchange market on the game, never seen anything like it. United when 2-0 traded at 1.02, by the time Lyon were 4-2 they were traded at 1.02. 1.02 equals 500/1 at odds on, so you stake 1,000 to win 2🤯

Got tickets yesterday to see "Phantom Of The Opera" here in August....wifey will be impressed, always good to surprise her, and score wifey points too LOL! Saw this back in 2003 in San Francisco...

Spot the rewrite of history.

Another good video from this guy's channel. If nothing else, he has some beautiful background scenery.

Just watched the LED counter on the treadmill click over the 5 kilometre mark. I wasn’t on it, I’m not feckin daft, the wife was. 🤣

Stayed in Cockermouth, home of the famous Wordsworth.

You’ve been had, those are Whale fingers. 🤣

Been to a few of those, not in a car though. 😉

Good Friday outside the usually bustling shangri la plaza. Manila was a ghost town today.

Kebab and potatoes pics to follow.😀

Big shoes WOW! Those are some Huge Sneakers!.mp4

That's exactly right, been drinking every night since being home to catch up with friends. Now on the black stuff.

Son had lamb chops tonight €12 and plenty of them.

It’s not about what you are drinking, but being with your friends. That’s how I look at things these days.

Another day meeting mates and enjoying a few pints of Butcombe.
