Day 1354 Stoned to death?

26th April 2021

It must be a national scare people to death day because all the advertisements on the radio was all warnings of imminent death. If you didn’t have a heart condition at the start of your journey, the chances are you would have by the end of it.

I went to a landscape supplies to purchase some small rocks to fill the gully around the decking. It felt wrong asking for it in gallons rather than cubic yards, but it applied to the buckets that you can use to carry it, and five gallons of rocks are heavier than you think.

I struggled to lift those into the back of the truck, and the echoes of those adverts reverberating around my head.

I did my usual mooch around Menards, I could spend a fortune at that place, but I have learnt restraint.

Once I got back I wanted to start filling up the gully’s with the rocks. Fifteen gallons sounds like a lot, but when poured into a deep hole, it quickly disappears. At this rate I will need about ninety gallons, which means my arms will reach the ground.
