6. First: Invest in a 12 pack of cheap beer and a folding lawn chair.

Unfold the lawn chair, pop open one of those beers, then sit and study the situation. Study very very carefully. Very carefully. Open another beer as needed. Again, study the whole situation. Stroll to the front yard with a fresh beer. Stand and study the whole situation again, plotting your route, the elevations, any obstacles etc on the route. Get another beer, this time stand in the front yard with one hand on your hip while you study the situation again. Return to the back yard, pop another beer and study the back yard situation from a standing position. Check the temperature...it might be too hot to do it today. Might need to wait till tomorrow. You know, get up early while it's still cool. Think on all that with another beer.

Pretty soon you will realize that the damn boulder looks just f***ing fine just where it f***ing is.

Drink the last of the 12 pack in celebration of a job well done.
