Just laid my 10,000th brick on this new school project in Omaha

I was checking my work log today and saw the count, which felt like a real surprise because the wall looks so clean and straight. It made me think about how much muscle memory and focus that number actually means, you know? What's the biggest single project count you've ever hit?

My uncle poured the concrete for his own driveway back in '98... I remember him saying he lost count of the wheelbarrow loads after two hundred. The way he talked about it, that soreness in your arms the next morning was like a receipt for the work.

Yeah, I read somewhere that concrete work is one of those jobs you feel for days after.

Remember that feeling after moving day? Concrete work is like that times ten.
