:arg: I'll apologize ahead of time for helping hijack the thread, sorry.:redface: I have a 20 year old (in college at this moment), and I still remember that giving him "some" good ol' hard work helping me stack wood was never a bad thing, of course treating him to an ice cream after never hurt his feelings. With him being a young man he now helps me with my take downs when he's home from college. His personal favorite is splitting wood. Getting back on topic (sort of) you could show him the finer points of getting your wood stove fired up on these cold nights we're getting. Hope that helps.....The stoves will be burned until they're not needed---usually never. When it gets into the 80's Downeast (rarely), it's time to get out the groin coolers like they use in the Southwest to cool the sheep for breeding. Spidy wanted to know.:msp_scared:
Typical spring hereabouts is daytime temps maybe up to 60 F, mornings down to freezing ( now up to 34 F ). This is the Shoulder season for using those softwood blowdowns for the stoves taking it away from the workshop and hot tub.
Then in a couple of weeks come Black Flies. Then mozzies. Then Deerflies. Ticks have been around all winter. Then the Summer People and Tourists and "Guests" come wondering when we're going for lobster. Woe.
Off topic ( pardon moi ) for all you fathers with teenage boys: my 13 y.o. nephew is coming from SoCal in June for 2 weeks; unaccompanied minor to be picked up down in Portland. Ideas of what-to-do ? His mom is one of those "Tiger Moms". Do I put him to the unfinished stacking in the wood shed ? Have him run some hill climbs with us ? Show him the finer points of chainsaws ? Help.
