My great-uncle called today, asking if my brother and I could help him move bricks. My brother is at football, so it's just me that's going.
I'm only in it for the fact that I haven't seen him in a while...and the money. :3
So, when was the last you did some manly manual labor? What'd you?
I don't remember to be honest. Maybe a summer or two ago?
I moved furniture last week.
MOVED ROCKS.
Not really, it was more like mowing the lawn a couple days ago.
Sounds simple enough, but when the sun's shining directly on you, it's 93 with 80% humidity, it gets to become tiring and sweaty work. FAST.

Wait, mowing the lawn counts as manual labor? Never mind then. I do that every few weeks ^^

Well, you're pushing the heap of metal, aren't you?
Then I have to drag around the compost bin because we use a bag due to my mother's allergy of freshly cut grass.
Besides, the weather was horrid. 93 degrees isn't that bad... unless high humidity goes with it. Then it's like you're in an oven...
I had to lay down sod
At my Grandma's this week, I had to pull out some small trees roots that were popping up all around her front yard.
I forget what the tree is called, but it's suppose to be exactly like a weed. It was actually cool, because it would get to the roots, and under it would be more branches leading to the main tree.
Just about everyday, yard work and poop.
Good, now you can man up.
Uh, can't remember the last time I did manual labor, aside from helping to hang some sheetrock.
I don't remember doing manual labor.
I did some automatic labor last week, though.
Just moved a dryer into my aunt's house.

By yourself 0_o
I've moved a dryer before, and it's not so bad when you have at least 1 other person. By yourself sounds crappy.
I unloaded 2 pallets of weights from an 18 wheeler a couple weeks ago.
The pallet contained 5-50 pound dumbbells, 2-50 pound Olympic weights, 1-25 pound neoprene dumbbells.....aaand I think that's it.
I don't think we had 20-100 pound heavy bag's to unload... but we get those sometimes.
This past weekend, I helped my dad take some old crap in our garage to the dump. We had to toss out this outdoor gazebo we recently got because heavy wind destroyed it. D:
About a year ago I had to move much my dad's vinyl collection. It was an extreme day. 65 giant, heavy crates.
2 weeks ago when I got dragged out to my uncle's old house to clean it up. Wasn't very fun, more like a waste of time.
