Spike they're 20 and 18 now. Then they were 16 and 14, some how the younger one is twice as mature as the older one. They have a red shorter handled monster maul, a cheap-o plastic handled double blade ax and a bunch of wedges they borrowed from me. There was one tricky drop for them that year, had uncle Mike come and make sure that tree fell in the right direction. Pretty much told them they were gonna step up and become the men of the house. There dad and I don't see eye to eye, was bucking up some soft maple I had brought over in log length, he showed up, started runnin his mouth, I had my 362xp in my hands idling, just started blipping the throttle and walking towards him...........he got in his car and drove off. Could not understand, his kids lived there why wasn't he taking care of the wood to make sure they stayed warm. I mean, I get the fact you don't love my sis anymore, but at least keep your kids warm. And before anybody says, child support, NOPE he's a dirtbag dead beat. Court is always stickin it in his rear cause he won't pay. Enough about that cr@p, back to firewood came home from CHRISTmas shopping, house was 75* yay!
