That's also true for the oil man delivering oil at the neighbors while you're admiring your stacks of wood and watching the smoke from your stove or OWB.

:hmm3grin2orange: You'd rather ride your tractor to stack the logs for cutting (followed by playing with the Stihl,) than ride and play with mama! (and mama is still a great looking woman!! :biggrin

Now let's not get carried away with the spirit of this thread! I was ok with all of the comments up to this point. :msp_smile:

When the smell of smoke, bacon and eggs and coffee takes you back in time to Grandma and Grampa's home, thinking to yourself how nothing, and I mean nothing, makes a house smell like a home more than this!

... you get "Woodshed Envy."
... you don't give good directions to your house anymore because your landmarks are all trees and downed wood you'd like to cut up.
... You drive by the left over butt of a 200 year old Sugar Maple in someone's front yard and before the house is out of site you've already worked out how to get it cut up and loaded by yourself without using the tractor.
... you convince your co-workers to heat with wood so you will have something interesting to talk about during the day.
... the day before your scheduled back surgery you go around the property and cut up a bunch of standing dead then load it in the pickup. The wife's going to need some wood to burn while you're recovering.
... your surgeon looks horrified when you report that you're doing so well you're back out cutting and using the maul just a month after the surgery. ( That was 5 years ago. I eventually conceded and built a splitter. )
... you'll drive 3 hrs to spend a day cutting and splitting wood for someone else, because yours is finished and you miss the work.
... you feel like you're getting "the look" whenever your wife complains to her friends that you dented her truck the day you used it to get wood. But you laugh when you tell your buddies the same story. And you still haven't fixed the dent because it gives you pride to know the truck did some real work in it's life.
.. you were horrified to find your wife secretly using "fire starter" matches from Wally World. And while you may have come to accept that she can't start a fire with one match, you're surely not going to leave those "cheat sticks" out where they can be seen by friends or family.
... your 2 yr old builds "chainsaws" out of plastic blocks then "cuts down" and "stacks" the cardboard tube "trees" he made at daycare.
... you take the family out picking apples at the local orchard and the wife asks if apple is good burning wood while the 2yr old keeps trying to drag dead branches to the truck to bring home.
... you've wondered why it's almost impossible to find good work gloves that fit a 2 yr old's hands. For some reason all you can find are toys.
... your wife wants to spend some quality time with you so she just comes out and starts running the splitter. And you've put a muffler on the splitter so it's quiet enough that she'll stay.
... you realize it's less painful to pull your own teeth than to see the AS Site "server is busy" message in the middle of this thread.

You throw bacon soaked paper towels into the fireplace to let the kids outside playing know its time to eat breakfast.
You know that DCS7900 and PS7900 are just different colors
You know that 372 is bigger than 455 and 046/460 are the same thing

You would rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard than your wife running the furnace
I just hate that sound.

You know you heat with wood when...while on vacation out of state with no cutting/hauling/splitting ability/tools you still watch for scrounging opportunities just so you remain sharp.

The Sunday Hurricane Irene blew through here and the sun was just starting to peek out ( mind you; it was still raining and windy! ) and my wife was wondering why the trailer wasn't hooked up and the saws weren't in the truck yet.
Than my friend called and wondered where I was :help: ...
Good/Bad part was running his MS880 for a half hour :help: ...

You know you heat with wood when...driving down the road there's a hot chick riding a bike on the left side of the road and a big pile of pallets out by the road on the right and you're eye balling the pallets.
