Every summer my dad would order a truck load of sand to be dumped in our yard and instruct me to distribute the sand to the "low spots" in the yard. I'd spend the next couple days shoveling sand into a wheelbarrow and finding low spots and smoothing sand over them with a rake. Somehow...there were always low spots every year.
My dad was in this vein (vane? Not sure.)
I was woke up 30 minutes before sunrise to mow our 4 acres every Saturday until High School. Got some breaks in the winter months.
I mean EVERY Saturday. I grew up in West Texas so it’s not like it was lush and green and growing all there time.
One of my favorite things he made me do was dig a 250 foot ditch 2 feet deep by 3 wide so that he could run an irrigation line. With a single shovel. He never installed it. I’m fairly convinced he did that just so I didn’t sit around all summer.
Just a product of the 80s/early 90s. I don’t begrudge the man.

I got suspended for fighting in 10th grade. Dad was out of town, thank god, so he had to dole out my punishment via my grandmother.
Had 3 ricks of wood on one side of the 2 acre yard.
HE called first morning and told me to move it by hand to the other side of the yard and call him when i was through.
Each time I called he told me to move it to the other side.
this went on for 3 days. worst punishment ever.
