Morning all.
Richard, I ignore Cinco de Mayo and St. Patrick's Day equally. I love beer, but I have never had a green beer. Both are events dreamed up by American bar owners. I have never understood going to a bar and paying jacked up prices to drink a beer. When I was at the right age to try it every bar was slam full of smokers and the places smelled like a giant ash tray.
The mean boss's wife had me slaving like mad yesterday. I had to interrupt the F1 race and go dig a hole for planting a full grown Sequoia. Well, OK I exaggerated a tiny bit. It is a 4 foot tall dwarf Japanese Maple. But I was told to dig a hole right under the canopy of the neighbors tree so it was a layer of grass, and then roots. Once again out came the pick-axe. They I was allowed to carry a few tons of stone to build a tree ring.
As I was putting away some of my tools I did a quick mental tally. I used two different shovels, pick-axe, sledge hammer, chain saw, lawn mower, edger, string trimmer, leaf blower, wheel barrow, 4 foot pry bar, and several other tools I can't remember right now. I was out at 9:30 AM and were out working until 3:45 PM. Then I finally got the watch the F1 race.
