Here's what I'm doing this summer (right) when I'm not fighting creationists, writing a book, giving talks, playing with the grandchildren, and visiting exotic cities in Canada and the United States.
I built the main part of the patio twenty years ago. I recall working on it for 6-8 hours at a stretch but today I'm pooped after three hours.
I think the stones have gotten heavier.
I did weeding myself. Pulled 4 bushels(!) of weeds out from between stones in one smallish bed (yes, I'd let things get a little out of hand there). My hamstrings and other muscles in that general vicinity are sore today from squatting, which is not something I remember happening when I was younger. :-)
