Here we have the fork head,the discardable metal socket with the broken stub, a 2 ' piece of black pipe (from a gas line intallation), and the 4'3" stainless steel display rack pipe (1 1/4" o.d.) We're now ready to assemble the tool.
The shank on the digging fork has to be ground down slightly at the four corners so that it will slip snuggly into the black pipe for the weld up.
Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.
First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]
My grandson gave me this Pine tree. On our regular time together, we call " man days ", we took the tree and drove just outside the city limits and planted it on a nice, protected hillside.
Gordie (the black one), doesn't really know what he's doing. He just follows along with Rocky (the wiener).
My mom is never happier than when taking seventy thousand pictures of me. Inevitably, half of them have me with a "take the #$%^ picture already" expression on my face.
(I made the scarf. I'd take another picture of it, but I can't find the scarf. I fear it may be lost. Aargh. I made it while I was taking gross anatomy. The whole damn summer. Knit knit knit knit.)

There are huge piles of snow in front of our house. We've been digging some snow tunnels to those with my sons.
It snowed 50+ cms in Ottawa, total accumulation to date this winter is 400+ cms. My shoulders are too sore to write more details.
