Another weekend - more digging
« on: October 11, 2004, 04:27:30 PM »
OK, on Friday I finished the site levelling, and ended up with a most impressive sandpile (the wheelbarrow is for scale):



Then I spent Saturday morning welding pieces of galvanised pipe onto the bottoms of the shed's posts (previously it had been bolted to a slab, but since I'm in a fairly high-wind area I'll be putting the posts into postholes full of concrete, then pouring the slab over the top).  Here are the shed bits on the ground, waiting for me to dig some postholes and erect the frame next weekend:



On Saturday afternoon I headed into town to spend a few hours with my lady friend (who was in transit from Perth to Melbourne), then on Sunday morning I attended my niece's baptism.  Since she's an adopted Korean baby, there ws a traditional first-birthday ceremony afterwards.  Here's my sister, niece, and brother-in-law.  Have you ever seen such a proud father? ;-)

If I had a dollar for every time I've been asked "So, when are YOU going to build a motocross track on YOUR land so that I can come and ride MY bike on it all weekend?"


...I'd have $7. ;-)

Just tell everyone who asks that "Sure, the annual membership fee is only $200 after the track is completed, but you can save $25 by buying your advance membership now!"

I usually save a lot of wordage by giving a simple two-syllable reply. ;-)


(The second word is "Off!", if that's enough of a hint.)

B.T.;


Do they call you "The Human Backhoe"?


Pretty nice bit of shovel work.


Cheers.
