Homer Vs. Kidd

Most people on father’s day get their pop a stupid tie, or a dumb plant that they don’t want, or some piece of crap from sears that they could probably do without.
This year I did something different.
Instead of buying him something lame, I dug a pit.
A big pit.

The purpose of the pit is to house a new fish pond in his back yard. When it’s done, it will probably be the coolest thing ever. The current fish pond (which is going away) is a habitat for fish, frogs, dragonflies, and anything else that decided to make a home in it over the years. Even in the dead of winter, when the water had frozen all the way to the bottom, the fish lived on in suspended animation to pop up again next year. It’s incredible, I thought only bears and Tom Arnold did that.
Anyway, back to the pit. To be fair, he did most of the work, and the entire pit messures about 15*10*3.5 feet.
That’s a little over 500 cubic feet of dirt, rocks, roots and earthworms. My hands are horribly broken, covered in blisters and cuts, and my back is killing me. But it was fun! I can’t wait until there’s some fish living in it.. they get HUGE.
