The Joys Of Busting Rocks
I can’t ride my bikes yet due to a foot operation in late August but I can sure run my tractor 8 hours a day moving large piles of rocks 
and other manual labor chores. The first few weeks I was sore and beat up but I’m breaking back into physical activity. Being still for months drove me 
made me weak and soft and 15 pounds heavier. Manual labor is exercise and I need to get the nasty work done in winter and we really don’t have winter here. Void of wasps, scorpions and mosquitoes and other insects that sting. I’m just happy to be active again.

Hard to believe you can enjoy chores so much; I understand completely. Getting out and working hard after not being able to is something that truly feels invigorating.
A buddy of mine that does much rock work on his property also saves it for winter to avoid the rattlesnakes and copperheads.

Fixin to try to ride a bike very soon to see how it goes hopefully round and round I will ride close to home in case my foot says no and I’m not 10-15 miles away. I’m looking forward to being back in the bicycling game.

Rain today not going to bust rocks in the rain once Amazon delivers my hydraulic fluid filter I will graduate to the joys of changing old worn out hydraulic fluid.
