There was straining and groaning of the hoist and then a peace-shattering bang as some substantial steel failed in shear.

That new auger bit is still 8 feet down in the ground, and on cold winter nights, I can still hear it calling my name...

lol, thats a great bit of story telling there. I love it!

Also, I'm very glad to see you got a bit that can get you through that tough clay! So, you should have the rest of those holes done in no time, right?
