    Well, not 16, but about 4.5. Not bad for a 52year old. Time to grill those strip steaks and grab a beer.

        In all fairness 2 of the tons was loaded by me, moved in a wheelbarrow by me, and unloaded by me… Is that worth 4? 6? More?

            Back a month or two ago, I unloaded two yards of topsoil out of the truck.

            It hurt. For two days

              That doesn’t make me feel too bad. As I said to Karla, that’s the last major digging and moving of large numbers of pavers that I should ever have to move… this patio ought to survive a nuclear war…

                Heck of a good workout. Gets the heart rate going. I was in a similar boat recently, had a bunch of heavy/bulk shit delivered from Home Depot to save me many trips. They have a flat delivery fee of $80 so I ordered (and hauled to my backyard or basement) 90 bags of mulch, 600 pounds of salt, 300 pounds of sand, 400 pounds of pebble, and 300 pounds of river cobble. Plus a couple 4x8 plywood and some other items. The shower felt good, afterwards and my back was sore in the morning.
