    i just moved several yards of dirt. warm, smelly dirt. with warm, smelly clumps that look like they came out of a warm, smelly ass that is built into a warm smelly horse.

    several yards. i would guess 9. 243 cubic feet? a ton and a half?

    someone, quick.. pat me on the back.

    but gingerly. very gingerly.

    this pasty white, hasn't broke a sweat in six months computer programmer type feels like he's had a tab of acid and the fringes of reality are just starting to slip.

    there are 27 cubic feet in a yard, mister pasty programmer type

    9 yards is almost 11 tons via the copeland company project calculator

    don't forget that you didn't do it all


    ungrateful dirt boy

    I'm moving rock today. Small watermelon under fifty pound rock. And caulking the inevitable logs-that-need-caulking.

    I used to really dislike the smell of dirt when I worked with shovel, dumptruck, and backhoe...it was a pervasive smell...I longed for the smell of crisp clean desktops and leather bound books, and clean non calloused hands.

    Then when I got all that, well, I sorta missed the smell of the dirt and the feel of the callous.

    Are we ever happy?
