You are, indeed, very young!! Not sure if you could contribute?:msp_unsure:
Yep, headed for Geezerdom. My cousin who is 2 years younger than me (57), has GEEZER on the vanity plate on his Corvette. I've always been into Mopars, so I have a big block, 4spd, Cuda convertible. I hope that some day some young guy offers to give me a hand. I just hope his feelings don't get hurt when I pull the old Homelite Super 1050 out of the back of the pickup. I might even let him hold it, have never let anyone else actually use it, since Dad passed. On second thought, I might let him run it a bit. Then he'll know why I'm going "HUH" after every thing he says.
Thanks for helping out the old guys. I like to show up the young bucks with my big saws and wood splitting skills. Been doing it all my life. Only thing is, after they leave, I hurt for a week!!! Something about the smell of 2 stroke and saw dust, fresh split wood stacked in the woodshed. Don't know what I'll do when it gets too hard, Joe.

Better, doesn't burn your eyes as bad, Joe.
some of my neighbors think I am crazy, all the rest know I am. I have somewhere around 60 cords black locust in my stash and am mixing it 50% with willow. Stilloiut there cutting but can't use more than 6-7 cord a year plus customers bought 7 cord willow last year at $120/cord. Hmmm...just added that up I moved 10 cord in/out of the lot last year almost all split by hand.
The crazy part? I am out there with 2 "customers" I am clearing wood lots for at no cost to them and on one I'm not even taking the wood - don't need it and don't have customers for it. Just finished up a looonng straight red fir (king of firewood out here) 30" at butt, about 12" at last cut. Left it all there in 16" rounds for whoever.. I think Iwill talk with Tim to see if he would care if I donated to some needy person.
I do it to keep doing it so I can continue to do it. Had I quit whken my wife wanted me to I would either be dead or in a rest home.
