You'll do well in life sir! No doubt you were challenged with the conditions you mentioned. Wow what a mess.
In my 50's I had a few years of free time so I bought a "rock bucket" and hauled sand and gravel to have something to do, fulfilled a childhood dream of playing in the sand with my trucks (don't guess any of you ever did that when a kid......grin).
