We had our event out here, our PP event, and the organizers chose one random selection, and they chose him. Unfortunately, you can only invite one person to sit with him. So sorry to other Carlos. It's his mom. It's his mom's birthday. All right.”

“And last but not least, last but not least, thank you to the parents out there. That's a lot of work goes on day in, day out. I live on the field. I see you guys out here and support your children. Some of these kids are like young adults over here. They already got beards, man. They're already shaving. But on a serious note, A lot goes in. My kids grew up playing soccer. I know the commitment is and having to wake up early on your weekends, going to those tournaments, having 8 a.m. games, having to beat the park at 7, and then getting home late Sunday night, getting ready for work. So, you…”

“Okay. So we had five, one, two, three, four, five bidders that bid on the project this time. One of the ones that bid last time did not bid this time. They got our, I guess apparently have a job they're going to be tied up on the next six months. So it's a good thing they didn't receive our last go around. So these are the contractors, Pabon, their total pay was $749,500. Who's that second one? JVA. JVA.”

“H&R is 916, 055. JVA was 786, 165. Metro was 824, 913. And Headley, Headley Construction was 565, 500. So it definitely had some concerns with that first bidder, the lowest bidder. What... They were the lowest on the paving portion by quite a bit. So I know our engineer reached out to them, had a conversation with them. They are confident with the price that they bid. We received all their information today, I believe. Was it today? Yeah. All their insurance liability, everything from them, licenses. That's Hedley?”

“Because I've had... I mean, McBeth sent an email today. So I thought it said 30 days to sign the agreement. It's 30 days. We must sign the agreement within 30 days once we receive it. It takes up to three months to receive the agreement. So we just found this out today. So we're almost a month in dealing with DEP at a state level. It's a pain in the butt. Always. Always.”

“But where was this tree six months ago that we tripped? I mean, it's a lot for me, too. I mean, normally when that signs off, I hardly ever do any. Very seldom do I do any. And if I do, of course, I remember because I'll put the address and what type of tree. But, you know, trying to go back eight months ago. So as long as we do it quarterly, it's going to make things a lot easier. No, no, no.”
