Found a rock in the side yard

[thooks]

10 pages over a small rock?

I've got three rocks in my yard the size of a small car that I had pulled out of my back yard when they were digging the field lines.

I've got one that is over 8' long, 4' wide and 24" tall. Only way it got moved was to either push it with a 4wd backhoe or pick it up with the hoe. It would lift the front off the ground, tho.

You had to have help to move a rock? That's pretty sad.

Wow! Pablo's rock is more popular than I realized!

That last bit is in poor taste. So to speak.

Ditto for the fish.

Good way to use the pics!

It's a shame my ISP changed the addy, so all the original picts to enhance the story are gone. LCMX2 had asked in another thread why the rock pict on my website!

Seems I'll need to take another of the "final resting spot", just for fun.

We have a couple of nice sized rocks next to our house that I'm in the process of digging up to make room for plants. One of them is about 4' x 4' x 8" or so. I haven't dug completely around the other one yet.

I hate it when people are lazy. The folks doing the gutters snaked the drain pipe around one rock to avoid having to move it even though they had the equipment there. It wasn't covered by dirt then either. I came home one day & the big rocks weren't visible anymore. I assumed they moved them but boy was I wrong.

I hear a tune playing in the background.

I never understood the big deal, obsessing over moving some rocks.

Maybe because you don't have any........sorry couldn't resist. It started as a joke and sorta morphed into a life journey. A rock emerges from the womb of mother earth....alas the rock is my anchor, the pain in my neck. Hence no pictures of the final resting place! But if this thread bugs you - ignore it.

The fact that no power tools were used and some minimal oxygen was consumed during the extraction could lead to a Nobel Peace Prize - who knows?

NOW there is a man who gets it.

Of course you know, the rock can't possibly be as old as it is, since nothing else is, therefore the rock doesn't exist; there is no rock.

Mother Earth may not like the fact that you aborted that baby rock from her womb, especially in its third triassic period.

Best wishes,

Well actually since the builders moved the rock there and piled dirt on it (there was a rubber glove under it), it was more like removing a cyst from mother earth.
