Getting to work...and falling in love!

"Love comes from the most unexpected places" ;D

         Today, I met my future coffin mate. Yes, I said coffin mate! I found the singularly most beautiful thing in the world and demand that I be buried with it. His name is Mr. Post-Popper. He is a wonderful contraption designed to pull rebars (among other things) out of the ground. And oh baby, does he work like magic! A job that I expected would take several hours of digging, pulling (the rebars... and my hair), and replacing dirt, only took about half an hour and about 10% of the effort. Thus, I met my new best friend, and finished the first part of my project. We (Rip and I) were showing him off to everyone, which made the job take even longer than it could have. 
          Then I went off, hunting for a location that would be the new archery range. Criteria that the location needed: slightly uphill; rectangular shape, long and wide; not too rocky or bumpy; and not too much plant life in the way. I checked out a couple different locations until I came across one that had the potential for perfection. I got a roll of crime scene tape and marked off where the range would be. I then cleared the area of all of the trash, which was so much more than I expected. Then we (my team and I) started collecting rocks, by the wheelbarrow full, and brought them back to the new range to make a rock boarder around the range. Today, we lined up over 100 feet of rocks.  Now, I am so tired, which is good because I'll fall right asleep.
