It really takes two

If Bob and I did not have each other, we likely would not accomplish much. Today he went out and bought a bag of quick crete (concrete) as we decided to use the hole we pulled our old mail box out of to put the new one in. And we decided we had better fill in around it with concrete. Someone tried to sell him a 200 pound bag, and would not listen to what he was saying. When someone who listened and understood finally helped him, he came home with a 60 pound bag, cost less than ten dollars. We probably could have used the 50 pound bag, but that is okay. Neither of us could lift it, but we used the two wheel dolly and took it across the street. We mixed the concrete in an old bucket with water we had carried over. It was a lot of work, a lot of guess work, and the bending and stooping and heat made my headache even worse. When we finished I came in and cooled off, and drank an electrolyte drink. I am much better now than even when I got up this morning. I do not handle the heat well since I got heat exhaustion two years ago. We cooperated and made a nice lunch. Bob is laying down now, and I will join him soon. I got a shower and got all the concrete out from around and under my nails. I get to nap as well before I go give blood. If you are in a warm climate, stay out of the heat and drink plenty of fluids. I will visit more later.
