And I thought by the title Dave you ACTUALLY went out and cut up some wood! Should've known better. Lol...

BTW, I seen a show on tv today titled VIP Alaska. It went to various places in Alaska where you get the VIP treatment. I wish I could remember (pronounce for that matter) some of the nature preserves etc with some of the most awesome views. Of course all of the restaurants served some sort of fish/seafood. Yum! Alaska is on my bucket list someday! :)
 
Dave, that tree should be ready to burn right after January 1. Look very nice right now though.
 
Nice tree! BTW, it looks like someone left some trash on the back of your computer chair.

Betcha it'll season a lot faster if you quit watering it... :) Nice to have a white Christmas...have a Merry one!

I did cut wood, with a bow saw, by hand in the freezing cold, wind was blowing, snowing;
we carried the tree for hundreds of yards, thawed it in the garage, had to trim a short round of the end.
Got pitch on my hands, needles in my hair & a mess on the floor. Nice to have a real tree :)

I like the Bengals too, well more than the Ravens anyway :)
 
Didn't see the other pics when I posted Dave. A steeler towel? Your a few miles from Pittsburgh! For that pitch, a well known , milk crate owning, vertical splitter on hearth said to use mayo. Haven't tried it yet, but he said it works great! ;)

No, it's part of who YOU are. The ONLY person I care for on the Steelers team is the coach, he's all class. Your QB is a major class turd.

The future is looking bright for Cincy, now if we can just a get a new owner it will shine even brighter!

All I know is Cincy has a hard time keeping steeler fans out of the stadium. Steeler nation is real.
 
Go Pats . . . and Packers.

But hey . . . I'll still root for the Steelers too since my wife likes 'em.

And now back to our regulary scheduled program . . .

Nice tree Dave . . . I've always liked the real trees better than the fake ones . . . even with the need to water them, the pitch and the needles . . . they're just more . . . wel natural . . . and they smell darn nice.
 
It's easy to root for a team that wins, try pulling for a team and just hoping for .500.

Awesome glad your ok..................
 
The oldest daughter and famdamily was planning to be here before Christmas, but plans changed and now not coming until Christmas day.
Plan was to do exactly what you've done, but we may end up pulling out the small fake tree while they're here. I could just decorate one in the yard, I guess.
Nice tree, looks like Christmas to me. :coolsmile:
