Today is St. Crispin's Day and for a thrill, you should go read Shakespeare's inspirational speech from Henry V. "But we in it shall be remembered - We few, we happy few, we band of brothers."

The construction site is still mostly at the dirt-moving stage. Dig big holes. Move dirt around. They are also assembling pipes of various sizes and colours on the field.

I think these are called high hoes and I liked the way they complimented each other from my perspective.

Later on, I saw one of the high hoes being used like a crane to lower concrete pipe sections into the big hole in the middle of Centrepointe. This time, they had a flag crew stopping traffic and only allowing one lane to proceed at a time.

These two guys were perched way up in a bucket, doing something with one of the high light standards along the bike path.

And today is yard maintenance day in the 'hood. No lawn mowing here from the look of it, but plenty of loud leaf blowing. But when you want to move a lot of leaves in a hurry and off different surfaces, this is the way to go.
