    The neighbor had a lot of black dirt to get rid of. He loaded it into the flatbed truck and I drove it up here and shovelled it all out and I'm really freaking sore tonight! I keep forgetting I ain't 25 no more. Tomorrow I have to get it all spread out so it'll slope away from the house, but I'll use the skid loader for that. Where's the cross-eyed emoticon when you need it?

    The neighbor used an endloader to load 3 tons at a time onto a truck, I drove it home and shovelled it all off. 10 trips x 3 tons = 30 tons. I went back to work today thinking I'd have some rest from my days "off" only to find the elevator out and ended up walking up and down the 4 flights 6 times today. Oh well, when deer season gets here, I'll be somewhat healthy or extremely dead. Either way, I win! lol
