Isn't it funny how the most labor intensive chores back then are the fondest memories now.

We scooped all of the feed for our hog operation. 700-800 fat hogs raised per year. I have great memories of doing that. When I was a teenager Dad bought an auger wagon. I don't have any such memories of using it.

PS, you are old!

I first learned how to do Pennsylvania Bluestone in 1980 in Princeton NJ. An old black dude, 64 years old taught me, his name was Bill Grey. I was 22. Me and Bill were a good team. Now, I'm 1 1/2 years from 64 myself.... WTH????
