Default Re: What's up with you?

Did you know that if your right shoulder has a tendency to pop out of its socket, you might want to be extra careful with a 2 person auger?

Mrs. Reasons wanted to put up a trellis and a swing, which required digging 4 roughly 30" deep, 12" diameter holes. We rented a 2 person auger, which was OK until it hit a stone or root and twisted hard enough and in just such a way that my arm popped out of its socket.

It wasn't a bad one, but the 2 person auger became a 4 person auger, and I didn't need to use my right arm except to operate the throttle. Yay for adult children still living at home!

It was a very active weekend. On Saturday. I rode my bike to get a haircut, and then, since I was out I rode it to the library and the local liquor store. I bought myself an expense (to me) Scotch - The Macallan 12 Year Double Cask. Then we assembled a pergola that didn't fit on our deck and put it in a shady spot in the yard.

Today, we dug the aforementioned 4 holes, but only had time to pour the concrete for the trellis.

We probably did the concrete wrong - We'll found out by tomorrow.
