Richie,
I decided to play stone mason and replace a stone wall that fell over. I'm breaking the concrete off the stones with a masons hammer, masons chisel, and 48 oz hammer. Plan to put a reinforced concrete foundation with footings under the new wall. I'm over engineering it because it sets on the side of a hill. After two days work, I have about 14 foot of wall down and the stones cleaned up. I need another good days work to take out another eight or nine foot of wall that is still standing. I'm developing some new skills in retirement.

Golf has also kept me busy. Lost two matches over the week end. I hate losing, but it happens. Mostly I feel bad for my partner when I play badly and we lose. At least, I smile, congratulate the winners, and shake hands like a good sport. Many people don't do that any more. After all it is a game, and should not be taken so seriously.
