I visited a pour in Phoenix that made me question my whole finishing approach

My crew and I went down to Phoenix to help on a big warehouse floor pour, about 40,000 square feet. I noticed the finishers out there were using these super dry mixes with hardly any water, almost like they were fighting the concrete every step. Back home in Colorado we like a wetter mix that flows easier, but watching their final product after 3 days, it was way harder and had almost no shrinkage cracks. Has anyone else tried working with a low slump mix in a dry climate and gotten better results?

That definitely tracks with what I saw out in Nevada last year.

Did anyone consider how the timing of those sightings lines up with the military test flights that were happening out there? I remember reading a local paper from Nevada that mentioned a bunch of unmarked choppers buzzing around near test ranges around the same time. People might be mixing up those secret government flights with something else entirely. The way those lights moved in the sky matches what a few pilots described in a report I saw later on. It could be that the government was just testing new night vision gear or drone tech, and nobody was supposed to know about it. Seems like a simpler explanation than aliens.

Concrete finishing isn't the same as a UFO sighting, man.
