day 2 of digging continues.....

trench drain is all installed.  tomorrow (day 3 of digging) will be the ditch for the outflow pipe (4" corrugated plastic) that will cross the driveway and dump into an existing drainage ditch (which needs some digging down, too much silt has accumulated due to nearby bushes).  i wonder what the record is for parenthetical inclusions in one sentence?  i'm pooped.

Shovels just never fit my hands well.

Recently read where the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation laid off half their workforce. They bought the new Japanese shovels and rakes that stand up by themselves.

On the blacktop road in to town, a large pothole developed on the side of the blacktop. Really wake you up if you happened to forget it was there. On a recent trip to town, I saw a city maintenance crew just pulling up to the site of the hole. I thought "Yay, they're finally gonna fix it." On the way back, I saw the result of their work. they had erected a sign warning of rough road ahead .

I am surprised it is before the hole and not after.  You Just Hit  a Pothole!!
