I - You forgot that you thumped in a wad of 8 foot posts last year or
are just going through a masochistic phase

J - You're using a tack hammer to whack them in as you can't lift
anything heavier.

K - You need to whack them in beside the concrete path, not in it.

If all else fails, remember that bob-a-job week's been re-invented
this year.

Cheers, Jake
