It took all day to move a ton-and-a-half boulder 3 fucking feet . "All day" in Retirement terms is roughly 6 hours . I was working at the `speed` of a glacier .
Yesterday I had to set a new post for the garden fence . I dreaded it . Post-hole-diggers demand shoulder fitness and upper-back stability -- I'm old so ~~~~~ . THAT effort took me only TH R EE hours but I paid the price for that kind of "light speed" . Besides post-hole-ing I had to pack the soil to compress it--- so I had to use a cold-roll steel bar to optimize point-of-impact compression . Again, it's the 'shoulders thing" . I thought {for sure} I wouldn't last even ONE hour at the "come-along" [Puller] .
I used a 2-sided fence-post level which aided in the Process . In the past I had only a 'reg-lar' level and using THAT is time consuming . You want it "straight and true" "Plumb" on both sides .
Plumb ----------------- funny word . How did 'plumb' get into Plumber ???????
