You're right, and I am sorry for laying it on too thick, at least with respect to Edwarda. As for the rest of them, they aren't worth the powder to blow them to hell.

I just finished laying the bottom course for the retaining wall, and was sweating and sick to my stomach from the effort, just came in for a rest and a glass of apple cider. My new wheelbarrow does make it easier to carry the blocks, and I've got a neat pair of padded workgloves with a work surface that makes it easy to grip, and a new hatchet with a really sharp blade, so I was able to chop out roots and dig the foundation without too much effort, but it's still more physical labor than I am used to. Apple juice break done, time to get back to work, I am about to learn how much dirt I can carry in the new wheelbarrow. The myth of Sisyphus and the story of Hercules and the Augean Stable come to mind.
