I’m not nearly as sore as I should be, but I’ve been front-loading Aleve. And the effort it took to load 2 of the 5 fifty-pound bags of sand straightened out the kink between my shoulders that’s been there for, oh, six months, so not all ill winds blow no good—and I quit before I had a heart attack, eh?<\/p>\n
Today we thought we had a line on some good basalt, but alas, we drove out 18 miles, past Long Lake and up above Nine Mile Falls…and it turned out to be a gravel pit. Wah! However—we have 5 tons of rock arriving on Thursday, white river rock, which will do the dry stream bed, and will require a lot of wheelbarrow action. Most of them will be big rocks, too, head-sized to potato-sized, which you cannot shovel, so we will have to glove-up and pitch those up onto the lawn and hope to make a sort of a long-distance pile.<\/p>\n
We were disappointed about the rock, and are about to conclude we will have to get that last bit of basalt we want the old-fashioned way: steal it. Once again the masked marauders in the silver Forester will try not to get chidden by the highway patrol for stopping on the highway and taking rock.<\/p>\n
We maintain we are saving people who need<\/em> to pull off from hitting a nasty fallen rock. It’s odd—you have to get along the roadsides early in the spring, because the stuff has a way of starting to disappear about that time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m not nearly as sore as I should be, but I’ve been front-loading Aleve.
