Bunyan Jr shows up not wanting to look like a greenhorn, and embarasses himself a little anyway. Too bad for him.
Some jump all over him, embarassing themselves, too.
Life's too short. Easy, there.
When i was a kid, we burned wood to heat the house; dad had an old Homelite with the carb that turned sideways to fell, regular to buck. Dad would buck logs to 6' long unless they were small, then we'd split them and block them up with a big circular buzz saw. Limbs under 4" were sliced off with an axe. Far cry from modern high speed chain saws that can block up a big old oak tree in an hour.
After dad was gone, I still made wood for mom that way a couple of years. A cord of wood, cut split and stacked is a full day's work like that. I thgought that's how a "real man" did it. I didn't know better, and never learned better until working for a local farmer, cleaning up after a storm, the guy had a fairly new Homelite Xl...what a machine!
The farmer's son and I had the driveway clear, the wood stacked, trassh raked up, and looking good in two hours.
But I had to start somewhere. the farmer didn't say a word when I laughed at his little "pee-wee" saw, and he didn't say a word when I was proven obviuosly wrong.
