Good morning SoCal
Ah, that's right. I see the networks are trying to shove that down our throats. Just can't get into soccer. Played it as a kid (not by choice), and didn't like it then either.
Morning Steve. Have fun with that....NOT!
Howdy, Pat.
I think they call it Soccer. You may have heard of it.

G'mornin', Pat.
I was going to mention that, but not all of us have one. I LOVE tools, and if I need something I just buy it, but that's not something I use a lot, so I have the ol' manual post-hole-digger. In fact, I have two, but one is an antique, has cracks in the clam-shells, and the handles look like the well-aged, weathered ash that they are. It just sits in the shed. The other one will get used next month when I put up a short fence for a friend in front of some pool equipment.

I rented one of those power augers recently. First time that I had used one. Works like a charm. It was a two man machine with a mind of it's own. It took it's own path so half the holes ended up slightly misplaced. I had to get my hammer drill and an assortment of tools to move some rock to get the holes where I wanted them.

That's true. Rocks are going to be a problem no matter how you dig.
Another nice thing about the auger is that the average guy can get a nicer hole that will require less concrete. Guys who are good with the clam shells can probably do a nice job too, but I never did.
