Rent a Tool

  There's an old saying, "Why buy what you can rent? Why rent what you can borrow?  Why borrow what you can steal and why steal what you don't need."
   Today, I'm off to the tool rental place to pick up an item called a Jumping Jack. It's been years since I've used one but the memory of these little beauties is scorched into my mind. They are a gas fired pogo stick that rattle the fillings out of your  teeth while tamping soil or crushed stone to a fine fare thee well. Sadly, they don't supply a thing called  "A Lob", which is a strong young fella to operate this machine.
     I have a buddy that rented a back hoe for a week . At the end of the week his yard looked like the surface of the moon and then it rained, filling in all these giant holes with water and mud. A few months later he rented a small dozer and filled it all back in. Don't that sound sorta like fun?
