Dirt, Dirt and more Dirt!

I just knew that my back would be sore and my arms would feel like they were ready to fall off. I had a truck load of dirt delivered to my house for my carport that I needed to fill in. 26 tons of dirt would be delivered and I knew the day was going to be me, the shovel and a great big pile of dirt the needed to me moved.
Years ago when I worked in the tile trade we would have trucks with 26 tons of sand come to the jobs sites all the time. Once the driver just dumped his whole load at the bottom of the hill and it needed to be on the top of the hill. We were out of luck! For day’s we pushed wheel barrow after wheel barrow up that hill. Almost died that week!
I made sure the driver on Friday put it in the right shot. I didn’t want to go up any hills. I got most of the dirt moved --24 tons. 48,000 lbs! I ran out of light to finish the job on Friday so either today or on the morning I will move another 2 tons. Not bad for an old man!
If you have never moved dirt before I have two more truck load’s coming. You could come and move 52 tons of dirt! 104,000 lbs. It will make you buff and lean!
Go move something today!
"Mark well that God doesn’t miss a move you make; He’s aware of every step you take” Proverbs 5:21
