Hydraulic pressure vs auger

An auger works fine in soft soil;

Not so fine in compact dry hard-pan

A garden hose with a nozzle works far better.

Turn the water pressure up and

Push the nozzle straight down into the soil.

The hard-pan will dissolve

And loosen the rocks

Which can easily be removed by hand.

Faster, easier, and without the noise. 

My Guardian

The question, “Do you Believe in Angels?”

My Guardian Angel

I knew I was not a strong swimmer, but I followed the other boys who were. They were swimming fast across Ryepatch Reservoir, which was half a mile across at this point, and half a mile from the dam. I stood and watched till they reached the other side before I had the courage to jump in. I swam as fast as I could, so when I reached the center, I became fatigued, and I was sure I was about to drown.

I said “God, if you want me to die, I am ready, but if you don’t I need help”.

Immediately, I heard a woman’s calm voice which said,

“Relax, pick your best stroke and swim slowly to shore”.

I chose my side-stroke, and here I am fifty-nine years later, almost to the day.

“Believing” implies not knowing.

 I know.

Let this be your opportunity to share your own experiences.

Why me Lord
