Yep. I'm sort of awake, I guess. I was able to get about seven hours of broken sleep last night (even with the aid of chemical inducement). It will take me 3 or 4 days to get back in alignment. How's things going with you today?

Too early to tell.

Not the heat!

It's about 250sf of dirt to a 4" depth so I can pour a slab along side a house.

3 cubic yards, more or less

That's a lot of dirt! Hey, look at it this way. It could be 10 degrees out, and the ground could be frozen. That makes dirt work fun!

It sucks, trust me. I know what you mean about the heat though. Especially since we're not 18 anymore!
