      I remember literally making sparks sometimes in the ground when my shovel would hit the soil…not kidding....matty you just brought back painful memories  😃

      Yeah man, I hear that. I’ve dug tens of thousand if holes in my days. Don’t think I’ve had anything as hard as that Arizona baseball field.. digging irrigation in that by hand?! Damn son. Should have rented a ditch witch trenching machine. Next time right?! Around here the only thing that comes close to the clay out there is virgin, undisturbed soil. And there ain’t much of that here. Came across it one time in the crawl space of a 200 year old house. Had to use a chipping hammer drill to break it up. Anyways stay cool bro!

      I was younger and dumber lol.  I didn't do it all by hand….got about 40% done and I had enough...said fuck this and went and rented a ditch witch.  Hell next time I'm just hiring someone else  😃

          You're right, that's exactly what it did.  There will be no next time.  No more grass yards for me.

            Does it make me really old to hope that the concert I'm going to tonight will start (and end) early, since I have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow?

                  Revisiting the royals thing, Americans have always been obsessed with the royal family as a general rule. I never understood it, or for that matter why such an obsolete institution remains in the first place, even in a ceremonial capacity.

                  We wanted the Kennedys and then the Bushs to be royal families. We talk about freedom and democracy, but in the end we want to be ruled and don't really understand democratic principles. We don't even vote. Being rulers of our own destinies just sounds like too much work. So much easier if someone just tells us what to do.

                  You folks had the wherewithal to impose the Magna Carta on royals, but centuries since just can't quite finish tearing that band aid off, eh? "Good for tourism," right?

                  And no, Chris, that doesn't make you old. Your age does 😉

                  Think it, be it.

                          As an American I had no clue about any of this…couldn't even name whoever is getting married and don't care who they are.

                          I’m skeptical of this. Unless of course you don’t watch any need at all. In that case I get it. Or stand in line at a checkout counter that has magazines. But you do live in Arizona and claim to never be outside… i guess I believe you  😃

                          All I know is Megan's getting married to 1 of them. Wouldn't have a freaking clue which one. No TV, No radio, no newspapers. It happens 🙂

                                  Can I get shrinkage if I hot wash and dry the 17 ounce duck 189? It’s too big in a xxl.

                                  @Giles ?

                                    @ Matty123 I once tried to shrink my black 17 oz duck Type III. I think there's a bit shrinkage possible with really hot washes, but still it wasn't a lot.

                                    @elclintor:

                                    > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

                                        I’ve found the drier to cause more shrinkage than the washer,if that helps.

                                            Du k definitely tightens up a bit, but the already tight weave and it being one washed already means it won’t shrink that much.
