Mom, I'm pooped. I finished digging out the pole for the basketball hoop. You know how narrow and deep you dig the hole to put the sucker in with a few bags of concrete? It's the opposite, a open pit operation to get it back out again. And once you've dislodged it, if you're by yourself, you have to fill the hole back and rock it around in different directions to finally get that 1000 pounds of concrete out of the hole. At least it rolled down the driveway easily. I hope if anyone does take it (that'll be a trick) they don't knock down my little pine that's nearby.

Maybe I should put a sledgehammer with it.
