Today we worked on the retaining wall but made very, very slow process. The quad-lock took more time then we figured and we were bogged down by tools that didn't function right. All in all, it was slow going. We installed only the base metal strips where the quad-lock foam bricks snap into on the very bottom. Tomorrow we face the large task of assembling the rest of the wall. Hopefully it should move a lot quick.
Caitlina and Mike stopped by today and we all played a 3-on-3 basketball game, with Casy, Matt and Mike on one team vs. Dad, Caitie and I. We won, I scored the final shot. We played a ton of basketball, probably a half-dozen games. Several hours worth at least, due to major lags in labor that forced us to wait around while a tool was being fixed. Matt comes again in the morning and we face a lot more work.
I'm pretty tired and sore from constant basketball and work, so I'm crashing early. Weee.
Two things. One, the Chad man has joined the blogging craze and has established his own vessel of communication. You can find it here. It may not make sense but read it none the less! It's a cool blog and I'm looking forward to more stuff from him soon.
The other is a cool little online doo-hickey that I found called Cyber Nations. It's a lot like Nation States but rendered in a superior manner. It's an online nation building simulation, where one establishes what kind of nation they want to run and build infrastructure, military, set taxes and manage imports/exports. It's a great little game, riddle with complicated player politics and massive wars. Currently the entire game is engulfed in a huge war that was started by a tiny scuffle, triggering the immense layers of stragetic alliances that the many players have created. It's great fun. You can find me here, the Royal Arcadia States, a proud member of the W.A.N.G Alliance!
I'm off for blessed sweet sleep,
