Slinging Concrete with the Musgraves

The Musgraves had a load of concrete delivered to their house on Monday and asked me to help move it to the backyard. They're building a patio in the back yard and needed to pour concrete for the posts. The Russian guy operating the concrete truck wanted to dump the concrete in the yard and leave (which provoked some vigorous discussion with John), then he wanted to charge us more for making him wait while we wheelbarrowed the concrete out back (which provoked some more discussion). He really didn't want to wait around. It took us 23 minutes to pour concrete into the 8 or 10 post holes. There was extra concrete left over, so the Russian guy dumped it across the street and took off. The Musgrave's neighbor wanted some of the extra concrete, so we moved some of it to her disintegrating patio. We took the remaining concrete and filled 5 of the 300 potholes in the street. Every little bit helps. Naomi cooked up some hamburgers afterwards. Yum.
