I’ve done that before. At my local park, there was 9,185 rocks all together. Quite a lot.

It’s just as well, I think you missed one.

Standing by Rocks on a Sunny Afternoon

Whose rocks these are I think I know.
Their number is a mystery though;
And thus you see me stopping here
To count a trillion plus, or so.

Others must think it very queer
To embark upon a task so drear
Doing this until I quake
Or for at least another year.

You give your head a puzzled shake
And ask if there is some mistake.
My tasks are often quite a leap
But this one really takes the cake.

The ground is rich with rocks so deep.
I’ll count and throw them on a heap,
With piles to go while I’m asleep,
With piles to go while I’m asleep.

(With apologies to Robert Frost.)

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

— Robert Frost (1922)

Allowing one count per second, absolutely no sleep,
(and no breaks to eat, drink, and do other things)
(plus a really, really long life), it would take Calvin over 12,683,916 years to count that high.
