Grrrr. The ground is moist, not saturated and this should have worked as planned.
Now I need a new tool.

Oh no! Maybe you are stronger than you thought!
Ha, ha, ha! What a thought.
Yikes! Hate when that happens!
I have done that too – so annoying when you’re in the middle of a task!
I finally got this stump out today. It took digging and cutting roots with a tool to cut branches. Some days I just think “why didn’t I just hire someone to get this out?”
