First guy didn't show up. Notified the 2nd guy, he showed up right away, ~30 years old, slim, looked fit as a fiddle, but within 10 minutes he was sweating like a pig, face beet red, and said it was too hard for him. Sent him home, hoping he didn't drop dead on me. Notified the third guy, who turned out to be a father and son team. They worked hard for 2 hours, got a good ditch dug, gave 'em $40 and all was good. Said they'd be glad to come back for any sort of work. No skills to speak of, but there's still a place in this world for guys who can just work.
