oh well .....thankyou... goose!

20 years of landscaping experience including greenhouse and farming (market gardening) gives you a trick or two.... a friend recently told me he's been lifting huge log sections out in his
backyard and carrying them (his back is still sore ect)and i just laughed at him. I said: gee wiz .... todd ... just lay your wheel barrow on its side....roll the log in and then with one foot inside the barrow leg and one hand on the barrow edge lean back and pull the wheel barrow back up....
and its in...so then...... your log section is now on wheels.
.....he just stared at me in cold silence thinking about it ...heh heh

one time i single handedly put a 400+ pound rock into the back of a guys pickup truck just to freak him out ....and i wouldnt tell him how i did it for years and it was so simple....he left his pickup truck there and took off for about 2 hours to go get a backhoe.
when he got back the rock was already in the truck and i was gone and so was the evidence <-

all i did was grab a barrel of PT 2 by 4 chunks, a 16 foot sun dried oak lever and a perfect fulcrum rock and used his bumper as a position keeper.... so i levered the rock up 1 1/2 inches at a time until it was higher than his tailgate then backed the truck up to it and pursueded it in.... i had alot of fun teasing him about big muscles that day....and i how eat my spinach ..... im really from krypton...levitation...
