    Well, Grandma wanted another walkway in the backyard. Stepping stones with pebbles to fill in with. I'm no landscaper, but got to work.

    Pics are below. Its almost finished now, I put the pebbles in today. Was shy by about 3 square feet worth (of course!!!).

    While I was doing it, I thought:

    1)While digging out the area (“sod-busting”), with the straight spade, I thought – Hey,
    This is like Endi using an E-tool to dig in with!

    2)Getting the 50 pound sand bags in and out of the car – like robo making a machine gun position maybe.

    3)Finally, putting down the base of sand – Hey – look, I'm finally packing sand like xflat instructed us to...............................................
    Just like working on the “back 40” on the ranch :)
    Now all I need is a horse (and about 9000 more acres) :)
    a cactus plant or two, what do you know?

    See? Where do you people come up with this kind of stuff?

    Hahahaha! You Geeks, I'm tellin' ya, you're too much....
    :) :) :)


    But, I'm not going to say it anymore... enough joking around for one night.

    BTW:
    It does look pretty good. The ground in that spot would always be muddy. Now Grandma, and whoever can walk around there no probemo...

    TIP:
    If you ever have to take up sod, and not use a fancy specialty tool to do it with,
    be sure to file down the edge of the shovel to be sharp.

    Makes all the difference in the world. That dirt was DRY.

    And, hard to deal with...

    Good night, all.
    BTW:
    I'm gonna buy the Slackware distro tonight.
    When it comes, I'll reformat, so that I can start fresh, ditch the Mozilla version that I have now, and check out the new Firefox that everyone is humming about!

    Gute Nacht!

    Welp, I must have led a sheltered life, as well as G.T.

    I have no idea what yer talkin' about, besides something you do with a shovel :rolleyes:

    I know of a few other nefarious expressions that refer to 'packing' certain substances, though - 'NUFF SAID! :eek: :confused:

    I thought that there was no grass in California. Isn't that true? How could you make a path with no grass?

    :)

    It must be a "bug" in that fancy new Mozilla browser that you got everyone using, xflat...

    Bwhahahahhahhahha!

    :)
    (Who would have thought -- xflat's the leading proponent of open-source stuff right now. Hailed as the "One Who Caused Everyone To Meet The Big Red Mozilla!!!"
    :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

    (Just having fun, xflat). :) :) :) :) :)

    It's a lot easier coz you don't have to cut out the grass, Robster, just lay the stones down and jump on them a few times and you're good to go :D
    We had grass. The rabbits ate it.:mad:
