Does this thread make my shovel look fat?

Be honest. I ... won't... get mad.

Fat shovel.

I've actually got one of those. And solid one like the one that started all this stuff. And a USGI entrenching tool.

Plus: I'm short and fat.

I'm tall and fat. That's why I needed a long steel handle shovel to lean on.

I bought a saw online this weekend. The seller did a great job of getting it to UPS. Now UPS sent me proof that they delivered it to my home in Oregon.



Edit: I live in mississippi.

UPS says they're going to possibly attempt to deliver my packages to somewhere in the general vicinity of the GOSH DARN CORRECT ADDRESS where they got paid BIG GREEN AMERICAN DOLLARS TO DELIVER IT
in the foreseeable future. Let us hope so.

Dang that sucks. I hope they get it to you.

It look like they will. Current tracking shows it arriving Tuesday.

I've noticed more and more screwup with all the major shipping companies over the last 5-10 years. I order less and less stuff online these days.

Unfortunately , I have used a shovel a bit. Like digging a septic tank line by hand, etc.
The short handle shovels are for moving sand or gravel, etc.
If you want to dig a hole you really need the pry length of the regular shovel. Reason they made them that way.

Exactly!
Years ago all we had were short tile spades with a D handle. Then we found long handled ones. Now I love my narrow. long handled trenching shovel.

I have worn out many of them as well as silage forks.

Have you seem those signs "SPEEDING FINES DOUBLED WHEN WORKERS PRESENT"?

I'd like to fight one of them based on the definition of "workers".

"Your honor, I saw a lotta fellers leanin' on shovels, but weren't nobody workin'".

I paid a measly $2000 for the Mastermind ported 084 in the Dallas benefit auction.
Dal sent it out no problem.
FedEx sent it to some woman out west.
I am in east of the Mississippi
I did get it but it was one helluva ordeal.
Hell what is $2000 anyway

Yes but is a #10, #12, or #14................or the uber rare #16

Maybe part time after I retire.

It's instant man card revoked if a man doesn't own at the minimum a post hole shovel and a crow bar.
