I picked it up in the am, and we had a plan to put it on the tractor and then dig holes for fruit trees. We had childcare and everything.... sigh.....
Things never go as planned.
The new toy
GB on the phone with Paul.... what do we do with this thing??
Well , we successfully got the thing partway on the tractor.... and then it got stuck. It got REALLY stuck.
It was so stuck that nothing would budge it- not even with GB banging on it with an o'o bar.
Bad news
So we took an arm off of the tractor and drove it into town for Paul to have a look see.
Turns out there was a paint drip that made the fit too tight. Geesh.
3 hours later....
it's finally coming together
Yay! auger on. Boo.... Karen has to leave.
So GB digs 17 holes in less than 40 minutes.
Frustration was HIGH for awhile there. But if we had dug the holes by hand- would have taken us the same amount of time (I mean including the snafu with the paint drip), PLUS we'd have a couple of visits to the chiropractor to make up for bad shoveling.

All together, not SO bad, eh?
