    Worked with a guy that couldn't figure out a log tape, 1' increments with a shoe nail on one end, and a clip to attach to your belt, dude insisted he needed someone to hold the end for him, and couldn't figure out how to attach the tape to his overalls... Few days later he left, very upset at me... (this is after I damned near swung a bucket full of logs into him cause he walked up on the machine I was working in, chewed he ass for trying to shovel tracks on the same machine while I was trying to load logs with it, then spent the better part of 8 hours staying warm in the service truck while the rest of us froze our muddy asses off... BTW he ran that service truck nearly out of fuel 45 miles from the nearest station... I of course managed to finish it off 3 mi from home, in the dark on a winding road... cause the fuel gauge didn't work at all grrrrrr)

    as you were crushing the old concrete pipe, I couldn't help wondering why you didn't toss a couple of them in the pond for fish habitat.... but from the looks of the silt in there, they might just sink and become a nuisance for the person that gets to dredge that one.
