Yesterday marked day eight of this retaining wall and fence project, we hope it will all wrap up today.  In this timelapse you’ll see the crew rebuild our old fence using the original materials, which means I’ll be restaining it soon.  It turns out we didn’t have quite enough dirt, so you’ll also see a dump truck make an appearance delivery two loads. We would have had enough dirt if the yard sloped a bit more and the wall was one block shorter, but it’s too late now.

• What a fantastic comeback for the Canadian women’s hockey team, what a horrible way for the American’s to finish.  Hopefully the U.S. men’s hockey team will finish with the gold against Canada, but if we lose, it won’t affect us for long.  If Canada loses, they’ll be hurting for at least a week because hockey is just part of their fiber.
• When we ask BoyGeeding what color shirt he’s wearing he’ll respond with the correct answer in that cute toddler way of talking.  But when he wears a shirt with a dinosaur on it and we ask him the color of his shirt, the answer is always, “Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”  He also had his checkup yesterday and was tested for autism.  Other than not playing with others in a group setting he passed all other criteria.
• One may be surprised to know that ‘The Wonder Years’ never made it to DVD, and it’s all because of the music rights to the plethora of songs played on the show.  Well, that’s about to change and the set will be on sale later this year.
• I wonder if the creator(s) of ‘How I Met You Mother’ got the premise of the show’s voice-over/narrator from ‘The Wonder Years’?.
• I love Rich Eisen’s bit of running the 40 at the scouting combine in his suit and tie, he’s been doing it a full decade now.  But now the NFL Network is tricking it up by having NFL cheerleaders run the 40 to compete against Eisen.   In case you are wondering, his best time is 6.03.  That Eisen is on likable guy, he may have been my favorite of the ESPN old guard.
• 32 celebrities we think are Texans but aren’t – I’ve always been confused as to what qualifies as a Texan.  For instance, do you have to be born here, live here a certain while, or what?
• The TICKET’s Internet stream has been ticking me off as of late.  There’s one or two commercials that play louder than the rest of the stream, and by loud, I mean it’s loud enough to punish Guantanamo prisoners.
• A great behind the scenes look of what’s in the U.S. Army’s Center of Military History which includes lots of firearms, uniforms, and lots of artwork, even some from Hitler.  Dang it, I mentioned Hitler, everything on the Internet comes back to him, but at least I didn’t compare anyone to Hitler.
