Did you know that there is an art to stacking limbs in a wheelbarrow? Well, there is, I assure you. But will I divulge the details of the art here? Of course not, because I have not yet mastered it! I have no idea what it is!!!!! All I know is, I'm from the school that says "pile absolutely as much as you possibly can into the thing, then pile on some more! And curse every time either a) the load shifts and half of the stuff falls off and has to be picked up and loaded back on, of b) the entire wheelbarrow gets overbalanced and completely turns over, spilling everything you just spent an hour picking up! When will I ever learn?
But I'm that way about everything. I'll spend double the time, and triple the frustration, trying to work around something rather than taking the minute or two (maximum 10) that it would take to properly prepare for my project. Like painting around light switches. It takes about a minute, including going to the tool drawer for the screwdriver, to remove the switchplate, right? But I'll spend 30 minutes carefully painting around the thing, stopping numerous times to grab a wet paper towel to correct my mistakes and clean up my errors.
Oh well, the sun came out today, and I picked up 3 wheelbarrows full of limbs and sticks from the Wish Garden. Things are looking better already!
