I know everyone is heading out or having folk coming in. Have a safe good week to come.
Nothing special going on here. Still hunting for elk and no turkey in the oven this year.

I agree. Merry Christmas from Tiny Tim and all the Cratchet's, ya filthy animals! I never understood how a mother could get on an airplane and forget her little boy, but that's part of the "suspended belief" of movies. It's become a holiday classic as much as It's a Wonderful Life. Well, almost.
PS has that kid grown up to be creepy looking, or what?
Good hunting. El Bee

Yeah, most of us Druid Dudes are out west not back east.
Hope that Santa brings everybody what they want for Xmas. Me …………….. I'm hoping for a jackhammer.

People usually just rent those, ko ko. Or are you coming out of retirement? You don’t have the belly for controlling those things.
About a week ago, I slept in after being up late. Just reading, don’t get excited. Anyway, I hear this racket and laid there listening. First of all, I determined direction, definitely from the east. Then, since it is very common that gardeners climb palm trees with a chair saw, I thought that might be what it was. But, no not quite right. After more than five minutes, laying there and curious, it came to me: somebody is tearing up the street east of me because that’s what is east of me, Aster street. So I got up and looked out front and sure as hell, all blocked off with vehicles and cones, the city was digging up the street. How did I know it was the city? Simple, it started at exactly 8 A.M. there is a strict noise policy in this town that only the city abides by. Gardeners and contractors generally ignore it so it had to be the city. Ain’t that wonderful, only 5 minutes and I knew exactly what woke me up without getting up! PS it was a plumbing repair of a leaking fire hydrant, but I don’t know how they knew it, no surface water leaking, must have been instruments or listening devices?

I'm only semi-retired. Santa came thru and brought the jackhammer !!!! A svelte little 110 electric model. The Rental place was charging almost as much rental as the purchase price on Ebay. My property is fence to fence caliche. Think rock that's half way between sandstone and granite. If I want to dig a hole for a post or a plant, it involved a couple of days of chopping with a 35 pound ice spud.

I know all about caliche and then some. Amazing what some little extra new tool will help out with projects. Our other place on the west side is beautiful dark soil. On the east side the Rocky Mountains start. Took 8 hours one day to dig 4 post holes.
We received more snow over night might have inch or so now, plus the ice underneath it from the other snow.

I also think I know what that stuff is like? We had it in La Puente only we called it ....something else; it will come to me in a minute. Anyway, digging a hole was an all day project.
Adobe? That's not quite right either but I remember over in Diamond Bar especially, they had terrible problems with steel pipe n the ground, only copper and transit would hold up, very corrosive.
But whatever it was, I had to chip it out with the blade of a shovel, there was zero actual digging involved, just scooping up the chips. Back in Minnesota, I could dig up earthworms anywhere I stuck a fork in the ground. I can't imagine sticking a fork in that "soil" we had in La Puente.
Of course, here in Upland, I was talking to a friend that already lived here and he said, "buy a pick." I didn't get it until I tried a little digging. This ground is so rocky that sometimes you just have to give up and put a plant where you can, rather than where you wanted it. Boulders is a more accurate term and I still have that pick but it's about 3-4" shorter than when new. Oh, and I know what a digging bar is and it has seen a lot of work around here, too. I didn't know it weighed 35 pounds but that does seem about right.
shale?

When I first moved here, I was surprised at the 'deal' I got on a post hole digger at a yard sale. If anybody wants it I'll bring it to the camp-out and they can have it.
