Potentially clandestine activity
including shovelling and heavy equipment and cleaning up… fluids. Nope, I wasn’t engaging in any of that over the weekend.
not at all.

Get the “water feature” in yet, or is that still pending?
I would have helped, you know, if you’d called me.
That’s next.
believe me, I will call when the time comes I can use the extra hands.
Still hiding evidence?
You mean to tell me that Jimmy Hoffa was preserved in Cosmolene?

I’m a firm believer in everyone knowing how a shovel works, and the only good way to learn is make one work and pile up the cubic yards. My last yard project two years ago involved moving about 12 yards of hard-pack clay, dug with Old #2.
This year’s project, to reduce the swamp on the north side of my house which forms with every rain, will be as much work. The secret for geezer shoveling is to work steadily, keep hydrated, and keep working until it’s done. Good boots are a must, and good gloves, too. I started with 2 hour stints on der shimmel last time, but by the last day, I had worked up to 7 hours. 8 days in all.
Work – it does a body good.
Careful with that swamp project. EPA can declare that a wetland and bring all sorts of facist hurt down on your head.
MAJ Mike, it’s only swampy because the house was built there 18 years ago, the land, a former berry farm, has a 5% natural grade overall.
