    Perhaps, but I've already spent probably close to $1,000 building this stupid garden since I started last year. Just the dirt was $519 alone, which I'm not happy about. Oh yeah, and I spent $125 on random vegetables, some of which have already died. The thankless manual labor felt good, but I hit the wall pretty hard today at the end there. Pretty sure today was the hardest day of work I've had in my life.

    HA! My picture did not do this dirt pile justice. A neighbor drove by and told me he was in construction and he would help me for free because I was white and American. I told him my wife was brown. Then later a kid (I think that guy's kid) asked if I needed any help when he went by on his skate board. I'd feel bad to pay anyone only $50. I want to say that 5 hours a day of shoveling and pushing a wheelbarrow up a ramp 60 times is a realistic estimate. My wife wants me to tell you all that she helped, and she did. She worked on the pile for 3 hours by herself while I was at work.

    Hard to tell in the pictures, but this pile, end to end at the base, was about as long as my van (16ish ft).

    Sweet Jahova I'm tired.

    Oh, the green one? Oddly enough, one of only a couple cars I didn't take more pics of, sorry.

    Hey, somebody send Navy to pick me up. I have a harbor out front now.

    Lucked out, big hail west and east of us, only marble size here. No clue if any near by funnels or tornados, rain too heavy to tell.

    Almost 3"(2.8) rain in 25 mins. Thought I was in the Southeast some place.

    Gotta go find where the dog is hiding. Thunder was very loud and continous for a while. Poor guy has never heard anything like that.

    Hello Hos. Kazoo, sorry I haven't been able to visit lately. I've been working down South every day.
