fun with dirt

Today I learned that even if you start at 4 pm, you can still dig a pretty long trench before dinner if you had the forethought to rent a trencher.

Tomorrow morning I will find out if I am strong enough to help lift the trencher back into the pickup we borrowed.

I'd show you a picture of our trench, but the picture-posting thingy isn't working. I might also explain that our irrigation system has gone all blooey, so that's why we're digging a trench, but I have to get up in the morning and help lift the trencher into the truck.
