hour to keep a haircut appointment.*

Don, did you tell him that the sooner he got a hold of a shovel and
got it unloaded, the sooner he'd make his haircut apointment?


Yes...first thing I did. He grumbled something and went into the house,
magically re-appearing just after I had finished shovelling all the gravel
off and hosing off the crusher dust.


Don, how old is #2 son? I must just be a mean old guy 'cause I think I'd
have told him he could take it after he unloaded the gravel and washed the
dust off. Then *I'd* have gone in the house and had a glass of iced tea.

To be fair.. he just walked back from the gym and had to eat, shower & get
dressed. His haircut appointment was just before he started work.
It still would have gone faster with two pitching in.
