But it is a, um, it's the last phase.

The, the project has, has worked up from Carpinteria, and it's, it's made transformative changes to that corridor.

And that last section, uh, has the multi, uh, areas where interchanges will be replaced, where left-hand exits that were, that were, were once there won't be there anymore.

But it's gonna, it's gonna be a major transformative change.

Big

... uh, up at Carpinteria.

And, um, just finally, uh, I had ta- I had spoken, uh, a couple times to, uh, Coach Jer- Jeremiah, and, um, it just seemed like they were just, you know, after having such a great second half of the year last year, winning, what, three games and making the playoffs for the first time in forever, um, they just hadn't been able to capitalize.

And he was talking about going back to the drawing board and figure, you know, trying to refigure, move stuff around and figure stuff out, and it looked like it worked because now they're 1 and 0 and they're tied for first, uh, in the Citrus Coast League.

Yeah, I moved to California, immigrated to America, got my citizenship a few years back, but...

Ended up moving to CARP and going to Procore.

And at the time, they didn't even know what the ENR Top 400 was or the ENR Top 600.

I mean, they were trying to figure things out.

I try to avoid Canada.

I live in the same town as Procore.

I live in Carpinteria.

Okay.

Oh, I forgot about that.

That's right, because he put, he sold the ranch or whatever, or the p- you know, the Carpinteria beach.

That's right.

Yeah.

My wife is from Carpinteria and that's why we stay there.

Her family is five generations of Carpinterians.

I just retired from the military at the end of 2024.

And when you retire from the military, your spouse gets 51% of the vote.

It means that I've went across every single community here.

I've talked to everyone locally.

... they're f- they're from, uh, they were from Newport from back in the '70s, but they moved up to, uh-

...

SoCal a long time ago.

But it's the last phase.

The project has worked up from Carpinteria, and it's made transformative changes to that corridor.

And that last section has multi areas where interchanges will be replaced, where left-hand exits that were once there won't be there anymore.

But it's going to be a major transformative change.
