Default Dead dog tired..making progress

Been here in Florida for 4 days now. Been digging trenchs for the underground plumbig. Lots of digging. I'm old and digging isn't fun anymore. I'm "mucho" sore. Got the entire drainage system piping installed, air tested, backfilled, and it passed inspection. Need some sleep. Been up way bofore daylight and workin till the sun goes down. Beats shoveling that 16-18-20 inchs of snow that you guys got though. I think.

I'm thinking that I have a pinched nerve in my back. Been looking at different excersises and doing them. Not working though. May have to find a chiropracter down here. More digging to do today. I have to run 80' of 2" conduit for power to the big garage and about 60' for the water supply.

There's a thing called a ditch witch or a mini track hoe for that kind of work. I don't hand dig anything if I don't have too. Same reason getting to old and my time is better spend enjoying other things. Hope your back feels better.

That's a lot of digging Tony, I couldn't do that. On the plus side you don't have to worry about frostbite. Had a dentist appt. yesterday morning, sure enough they plowed the street while we were gone. Filled the end of the driveway with a foot of heavy packed snow. My fingers were frozen just riding the tractor to clean it out. Think I'd prefer digging in the Fl sunshine.

Got some more done today. I decided to go with bigger doors in the shop building, so I had to move two posts. 6x6, 16 feet long, 3' in the ground. Man, they are heavy! I thought that would be easy. I thought wrong. Back feels better. Drank some good whiskey.

I hear ya Hank. I'm liking this weather a hell of a lot more than the stuff you guys are getting at home. I think Kathy is about fed up with snow.

All I have is a couple of crummy videos that I made with my cell phone. I haven't a clue how to put them on here. I did make emails from them. I will try to figure out how to make pictures here from my cell.

Just upload them onto your "page" here. Then you can post the pics big, instead of having to click on them.

Sounds like you are having fun. lol Just not playing in the snow. I don't mind it now that the temps are rising, but the negative numbers were aweful.
