A Grimace to a Grin

 A Grimace to a Grin

Hauled 1500 pounds of rock the last few days to complete our backyard pond.

About 15 pounds a piece.

But, really, had to lift them four times each…

Once, from the pile to the truck,

Then, from the truck to the wheelbarrow,

Again, from the wheelbarrow to the pond’s edge,

Finally, from the edge to the inside wall of the pond.

So, really, lifted 6000 pounds.

Three tons.

That explains the ache in my back,

Which bummed me out, until I remembered a name for a moving company,

That I came up with years ago as a joke, Aikenbach Movers.

That changed my grimace to a grin.
