Even a couple of post holes are a couple more than you had yesterday. It doesn't matter how many or how few, you'll get it done. You certainly have a right to be proud of yourself for the hard work that you have done.

Was thinking about you when watching videos of bad things happening across the country due to storms. Video in Wyoming of a semi being blown over in a huge wind gust, the trailer landed on an unoccupied police car, lights flashing. You folks that drive the big rigs must lose a few years every time you get out in gusty winds or bad snow/heavy rain.
ONLY TWO MORE HOLES!!!!!!!

Yeh Bruce, after ya get blown over ya gain a real Appreciation for the power of the wind. I saw that too, and it is like it was Yesterday...except I'm in Mississippi not South Dakota...
However, once Joyce got back in the truck after that incident, we were hauling a hazmat load across I80...going from California to Indiana...and coming thru some mountains the wind picked up and was buffeting the truck. Joyce quickly pulled over to the shoulder and informed me she was done driving that day....she had been driving for about 2hrs....I told her that it was a hazmat load and it was illegal to be on the shoulder. She told me, then ya better get your Shoes back on ause I'm Done....D O N E...Done....

Hey the woman knows when the semi plus wind are bigger than she is. I hope you drove it somewhere safe and pulled over unless it was more of a Bernoulli effect wind rather than true wind!

Here is the gathering of duck eggs this morning...
So, all 11 laid...
I did weigh them for @Bruce , and the smallest was 63g with the largest, turned sideways was 83g. Seems to be pretty good....

That should just about make breakfast for you and Joyce this morning! 
63g is USDA large. 83g is USDA "We don't go that high". Officially Jumbo because anything larger than 71g is Jumbo but since the steps are in 7g increments, your big one must be an Extra Jumbo
Your ducks still need to go some to hit Zorra's stupidly huge eggs, the largest (a couple of years ago) was 114g and she is a CHICKEN. A big Black Australorp chicken but still. She averages in the high 60's to lower 70's. Echo is also a BA from the 2012 chicks but average size for the breed. Her largest was also stupidly large but "only" 102g. Before her shell gland issue last year, she was averaging mid to high 60's.
