Light My Fire (Post Title by Donna's Woman Brain)

Ok, you saw my chain saw post and said, "but John, you don't have anything to cut without stripping the back yard of all vegetation!" Well, you were correct: until today! I now have something to cut...

These logs, plus the cost of the new saw were cheaper than buying the same amount wood already cut and split. There is more than a winter's worth of wood here, plus I get to keep the chain saw! My buddy picked it out, and it was $200 more than I would have spent, but it will last, aside from doing a better job with less vibration.

Tomorrow Adam, the buddy mentioned above is coming buy for a few hours. I said, "no problem, I can handle it myself from here," but he was first to fire up the saw yesterday, and he obviously can't wait to play with it! But now, I'll let the pictures do the talking, it's pretty straight forward...





















The "woman's brain" is Donna taking credit for the title--it's her words, not mine! Apparently complimentary!

It's so pretty where you live. In some pictures that looks like a lake back there and others a field - it's a field, right?

Well have at it! Go for it John!

Pretty neat! I always wonder what the workers think that you are taking pictures of them though! Actually, I took pictures of my son looking at a huge backhoe working on the road in front of my house, and the guy stopped, and took my son up on the backhoe so I could get better pictures!

You can light my fire anytime.
No,I am not hitting on you.What else do you want me to say.

Be careful with that saw (sorry, the woman in me speaking). One bonus is that you should shed a few pounds and firm up the physique. I'm sure Donna won't mind that.

This is going to take a while...I once bought a chain saw, didn't trust myself, never used it and gave it away for a fund raiser for one of those silent auctions...watch out for the kick backs and best of luck

So, tomorrow you'll be posting pictures of your cut and stacked firewood?

My father-in-law does the same thing. Buys whole logs and cuts them up for winter. In fact he's been trying to get rid of the stuff because he has too much. Save it for next winter.
