What Men Will Do To Recover Balls...

Remember the tennis ball from yesterday's post that Ki dropped down the hole under the rock.  The gentlemen in the family decided they were going to recover the ball.

This equipment is supposed to be for working but just as many times it used for playing.  Is a tennis ball worth the use of this much fuel??

Raising the rock, the dogs search for the ball.  No luck and I am cringing because I can just see this rock dropping.

 Under the huge rock is a post laying across the hole.  The post is removed after the Testosterone Team figures out how to do it successfully.

Here is the rather large hole and tunnel under the rock.

The rock was lowered safely in place with access to the hole.Now the dogs can seek the ball at their leisure.  I am amazed at the energy and thought expended on the recovery of one tennis ball!  I believe it has rolled to the center of the earth.  Maybe the dogs will dig a storm shelter here or access a new spring...and this is what we do for fun At The Farm.
