Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

[Senile_Texas_Aggie]

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. I will try the FEL bucket. I have never tried to put the FEL into float -- I didn't know that I could do that -- so I will try that and see how it works. I may decide to get a landscape rake as well. I know I have to do something, as the rain made the parking area into a muddy mess -- it looks like I had several loads of dirt hauled in and dumped on the parking area.

I'd rather have the holes (and do) than try to grade my clay road.
I learned the hard way..never try to work wet soil.

Rakes have their limitations but have come in handy here.

I've always had a hard time keeping a straight face when conversing about male and female connectors.

Have you ever had to go buy a certain part for your toilet? I had to write that one down, lol. Just couldn't say it!

I thought I had bought every part there is to a toilet and have never heard of anything toilet related that is risque.

When I worked for a garbage company, I had to purchase a toilet seat for the mechanics bathroom. I went to Lowes and placed it on the sales counter and told the lady I was buying a picture frame. She looked dubiously at me, scanned it and said, "It's not coming up as a picture frame, this is a toilet seat." I rambled on, saying that it was, in fact a picture frame and it was going in the mechanics bathroom. It would serve to frame ugly pictures that no one in their right mind would ever want to see, and would be scarred forever if they looked at the pictures...…. It took her awhile to catch on, people in line behind me were snickering, before long the whole group were laughing and everybody was having a good time......picture frames!

Oh just spit it out! If you could write it down for the person at the store, you can write it down here.

That is my understanding. Like tilling wet ground is just an exercise in futility. When you are done and it does dry up, you supposedly get rock hard clumps. The wet "soil" I "worked" was the stuff I dug out of the pond, dropped on the pile and watched it slide down. That stuff doesn't let its water go easily, takes forever for even the surface to dry out.

Perhaps it was a faux pas/......

I once worked at a drilling company..for many years actually, and among our duties was taking care of all the company vehicles, including the car belonging to the office manger, that just happened to be wife of the vice prez. One day, she noticed a hum type noise coming from the back of her car, drove it back to the shop, drove it right inside and got out and asked in a very loud voice (toward us mechanical types) "Could one of you guys come over hear and check my rear end?"
