I remember the last leg of the dig I finally grabbed a trencher. 

Looking back, I was about 44 years old at the time.  I look back on it now, and I'm kind of amazed I was able to do that foundation with a shovel and my back.

I can tell you this much, at almost 62 years, I wouldn't even consider it today.

You have more guts than I do!  

I do plan to re-roof my house next summer doing a total tear off and re-roof.  NOT looking forward to it, but it will save me about 7 Grand.  That type of money is enough incentive for me to take a week off and do the job myself. 

Plus, I know it will be done right. 

I don't know if you work on cars Greg, but I'm guessing that most likely you do.  I replaced my Clutch master cylinder from up top inside the engine compartment which wasn't too damn bad, but when I bought the clutch kit and thought I would do it myself, I started in and after a half day, I called a mechanic on Craigslist and had him end up redoing it. 

He only charged $400 labor for 8 full hours and he did a great job. 

The only thing I did after that was to  dump and refill the tranny fluid.  

That was included in his bid and he didn't have time that day. 

Rather than pay $200 labor at Best Western Transmission, I did it myself. 

Easy peasy. 

From now on though, any time I have to crawl under a car, I'll leave it to the other guys.  They're experts anyway.

I gotta ask Greg, what the hell were you doing (twice) where people pull knives on you?  I don't think most 60+ year olds get into those situations!   I would guess Sturgis, or some other rally, but seriously, I thought that the biker crowd was calmer now-a-days than the old cliché's, having matured enough to be out of the knife-fighting demographic?  I may be wrong.   You sure don't seem like the type who would be engaging with 20 something year old gangsters in a turf war though!  Jim

Well, I know you believe that the other 1% who voted will swing towards Warnock but I'm skeptical there.

GREG needs to get out and vote on Dec 6.  He needs to vote 50,000 X.

That would assure a Walker win!!

Looks like there might be a runoff there, Greg.

Hopefully Trump will have a rally somewhere else than Georgia the day before the runoff, just like he did on Jan 6th.

I don't where Greg got the idea that "they called it too soon" in the Georgia senate race. The only thing I heard on CNN and MSNBC was it was too close to call early on and, later, it would be going to a runoff. Neither station called the race for either candidate.
