One of my most vivid memories of those sessions is replacing wooden fence posts during Easter break 1989. Apparently pounding a post with one of those drivers like in the picture you jacked is easier when the ground is wet. But first we had to pull the damaged or rotten posts from the ground We used some homemade lever type thing made of two steel bars and chain. The chain would slip and the bars would fly and I'd often catch a piece of this "tool" in the face/head/arms/legs/chest when things went bad. Didn't really hurt at the time because I was so numb from the freezing rain pounding my face and soaking my clothes all day. But at no point did I ever feel like I'd rather be working with a child molester. Can't wait to hear about Jim!
