You know you heat w/firewood when:
1. Your neighbors look at your stacks with amazement and comment about the work you invested in getting that wood there and how you ought to have enough to last for years, and you reply that you don't have half pf what you should have had by this time of year,...
2. When you have hearing protection adjusted specially for your 2&3yr old children, so they can accompany you while sawing/splitting.
3. When you route the flue pipe through your upstairs bed room, to take additional advantage of it's heat (fan behind it).
4. When you contemplate declaring a business just to be able to more easily afford/depreciate bigger/better/faster/more capable/more efficient tools for wood processing.
5. When you drive 12+ hrs round trip to a GTG just to meet a guy named STUMPY and play with other people's cool toys (Sunfishes S.S, Hedgerow's 7900, Les's 084's, etc).
6. When it's easier to help friends maintain their own equip (saw chains) than it is to explain the nuances, (especially knowing that your a relative greenhorn compared to others).
7. When your kids come and ask you if they can help "Put fire in the stove".
8. When your 2 & 3yr olds help you ferry hedge in the house, 1 split at a time.
9. When your at the lake and a smile comes across your face, when the "neighbors" on either side of you can't understand why you have a bonfire w/relatively little smoke and they can't get their gas station pulp-wood to do anything more than smolder, if they're lucky,...
10. When you check the wood-recycle bins on base everyday after work for salvage pallets and can afford to be picky about they're quality while scrounging!
11. When you can afford to throw some hedge or Locust on a bon fire just to liven the party up a bit.
12. When you can admit to your CAD and your jealousy of UncleMustache's 'Stache:msp_w00t:
13. When your MS660 cost you more than your Toyota wood hauler did and you wouldn't part with either one of them.
14. When you can confidently complement another Guy on his long bar, w/o any sexual innuendo.
15. When you can financially justify the purchase of more equip/wood-burners and back up your assertions w/logic, (while masking the emotion).
