Man-Oh-Man !! Took the mounting hardware for the front-loader (winch, support arms, mounting plates, etc.) off our garden tractor yesterday and am suffering this morning. I didn't have an air compressor in the shed we keep it in so, I did it all with hand tools (wrenches, sockets, ratchets, screwdrivers, etc.) Big mistake for me at my age (going on eighty in August) and not in ship-shape shape. Sore and stiff is the phrase today. Took me three and a half hours when just a couple/three years ago (pre jaw surgery) I'd have been able to do it in an hour and a half easily. We were going to town today for lunch and grocery shopping but in the words of one of my all time favorites "Amy Winehouse"; "I Won't Go - No, No, No,"!!! I'm gonna carry this Ebony standard Lambfoot to chicken eye and coon finger today while I'm sitting in my recliner and doing absolutely nothing. Coffee and a cinnamon roll for breakfast.

Glad you are going to get some much deserved rest and time in your chair today, Ed. Good looking lamb to accompany you as well.

Tyson, your post is dredging up memories I've repressed for over 30 years from when I rented a front tine rototiller (and broke the first one) to tear out the scrawny lawn in our side yard so my wife could turn it into a butterfly garden. Definitely a fight, man vs. machine! What is the pipe running through the yard that's visible in the pic of your wife with her pick?

It's an old sprinkler pipe that ran underground next to the walkway. After jackhammering up the walkway, running the sod cutter to remove the lawn, and rototilling the dirt that remains, that pipe is exposed (and broken in several spots). We're doing entirely different irrigation, so we aren't mourning the damage to that pipe too hard.

Oh man, Ed, that's how I felt on Sunday after fighting with the rototiller all day on Saturday (and I'm not even close to 80!). No church, no going out, no nothing - Sunday was just lazing about and trying to recover. Hope you're back into fighting form soon.

Yowza! I hope the sycamore was 3 feet high, not 3 feet in diameter! That would be quite the challenge for Big Rose (and you)!
Double Albers is an impressive carry (and presented on a Henderson's background, no less)!
