^^^ I lift and move some pretty big rocks with just my hoe/thumb... it always amazes me how it does what it does. Not sure if they are 500lbs, but at least a few hundred I bet.

Its great when things like this go without incident. All the anxiety and whatever scenario playing through your mind, can make a person a little stressed out.
Tell me about it. I'm a professional worrier by trade (it doesn't pay well, BTW).
I always over-analyze simple things, usually for no reason.

Now, for me, it's the things that I never consider that always get me. Typically I end up on my back with the tractor laying on top of me when I stop and think "huh, now I didn't see that coming...". :rolleyes:

I was born a "Worry Wart" and now at 70+ years of age it does seem to be getting worse. I do remember years ago during my high school and college days while employed as a body man in my father's shop, he would tell me quite often, especially after I messed up, don't just jump blindly into a project without giving it a little thought. He was correct, a little thought does go along way.

Oh jeez, don't tell me that. I'm only 47 now, going on about 87.
Always been too "curmudgeny" for my own good. There's a joke in my family that when i was in my early 20's my sister used to refer to me as "the mean old man in the yellow house" since I used to yell at the neighbor kids... some of which probably were my age at that time. lol
