So, you ARE The Simple Bricklayer I've been recalling! Spending all day, laying bricks gives you a lot of time to think of things! I'm a fan of yours! Welcome back to TBR!
Thank you Cyber, most gracious.
And yes, bricklaying is very repetitive, muscle memory.. mind elsewhere... I have laid over three million brick. Half a million block, and untold ton of stone. Started in 7th grade in the family business.. I am a 5th generation mason, father to son.
Why O' why could dad not have been an electrician..LOL.
