A darn good woman

[Whitespider]

Yesterday morning I woke to an ugly sight; one of my stacks had partially collapsed putting a mess of tangled splits piled up between it and another stack. I know most of y'all are gonna' agree that stacking sucks, and that re-stacking flat sucks sour owl crap. So I'm half-pizzy all day at work thinkin' about going home to that mess... and making matters worse the doctors put me on the wagon for a couple weeks, meaning no damn beer to lessen the agony of the job.

So I pull in the drive last night... my wife is standing there, in her grubbies, at the shop door pulling off her gloves.
I jump out and ask her, "Hey babe, what'cha been doing?"
She glances out towards the stacks, my eyes follow hers, and the stack is back‼
Damn... I've got a good woman‼ Even if she's keeping me from cheatin' on the doctors orders.

Was she secretly sending this message?

 

[hanniedog]

Did you give her your best Ralph Kramden and tell "baby your the greatest' ?

 

[greendohn]

Heck, I can't even get my good wife to keep house!! But she doesn't begrudge my fishing and occasionally brings me home a box of beer, I've decided to keep her,,,

[cat-face timber]

If I was single, I would ask Spidey if she has any sisters

Good for you Spidey...

Keep her happy!

Ha... yep, my second go-a-round, close to 20 years with the current.
Even three kids... a boy 26, a girl 17, and a bonus boy I received for my 50th birthday 6 years ago.

Yup, I re-stacked one of my two toppled stacks yesterday. The second one is really gonna suck, cause it was my kindlin stack!
I can't fault my wife for not helping with the re-stack, she works later than I do, so I'll let'er slide this time (...and probably the next too )

My wife stacks wood, carries it in the house, and feeds the stove. It only gets better. She cleans the house and washes my clothes. She mows the grass and gets the oil changed in the cars. She plows and tills the garden, plants the veggies, weeds the veggies, harvest the veggies, cooks and cans the veggies. Makes homemade bread, and the best damn Nanner pudding and tater salad you will ever eat. She picks berries and makes pies and wine. She even lets me watch my favorite TV shows. And after all that, she even likes to snuggle with me late at night when the lights go out. Yea, I think I will keep her.

Watch how she stacked that wood. If her stacks don't fall over like yours seem to do maybe you can learn something.

I learned my lesson on the marriage thing but my girlfriend has an annoying habit of coming out while im stacking and yappering to me about trivial stuff. I wouldnt mind if she grabbed some logs and pitched in but she just stand there watching and talking, talking and watching. God that girl loves to talk. Course i suppose its for the best, she stacked some wood once that was crooked when she got done, leaned progressively worse week after week and finally came crashing down in the middle of the night. So maybe its best she just watches. If i could just do something about the talking.

Beer comes in a box?

I thought it came in buckets filled with ice.

My wife splits and stacks wood also. About the only thing she won't do is back up the trailer or run a chainsaw. She drags brush for me and makes sure I eat something after too much time in the trees. She even gets mad if I just drop all of the branches on the ground and then start working on the trunk. She wants me to cut them into manageable lengths so that she can be busy working while I'm bucking. Then, unless the bucks are too big, she insists on loading them when I'm done so that I can take a break!

I love my wife and no, I won't share.

I married a pilot. When I cut the wood she likes to pile it.
