I scored a three-pointer this evening. I finally got a bit of yard clutter out--I dug up the basketball hoop. What a job. You know how small (relatively) the hole is that you pour the concrete in to put it in place? It's an open pit mine to loosen it, then if you're doing it by yourself, you have to wiggle and roll and add the dirt back to a point where you have the thing level with the top of the hole and can roll it out. It's down at the bottom of the driveway now. I didn't put the backstop down there, but I'm tempted to tape a sign on that says "knock at the door for the backstop" or it'll go without the pole.

Any thoughts? I want to get rid of them both. I suppose the backstop could go to Goodwill, but if someone wants this pole, they might as well have the rest of it. It's a nice adjustable one.

I think I earned a beer this evening.
