  1. Your 6 year old can stack wood better than the neighbors
  2. All winter you wear shorts around the house
  3. Clothing dried takes a break during the winter

"You know that 'The Dixie Eyed Hustle' isn't a street con game in the French Quarter."

Little late this year but waited for everybody to be burning across the country. Go for it gang.
Im sure im the only one here who DONT know what this means ,and i usually goggle everything i dont know, but id like to hear this explained from You guys. What the heck is the dixie eyed hustle. MY NO 1 guess is ,getting up to a cold stove and getting it fired up really fast while dancing (hustle) and shivering.

As far as you know your a wood burner? Does having and using 4 EPA stoves and 4 home made wood stoves (in different locations of course) qualify?
 
....your girlfriend comments on the manly 'campfire smell' of your shorts.

You keep a spray bottle of water near the stove just in case you have to put the cat "out" when it sleeps too close to the stove.
My wife knows all about that one. Caught the cats tail on fire a few weeks ago.

You've seen this same thread start up every fall/winter for a number of years now. :rolleyes:

That was my first thought. I'm gonna try and come up with a new one this year. Might take a while though.
 
On a beautiful beach and wondering what kind of wood that driftwood is.

You're the only one in your extended family that know what shoulder season is.

Unless they work in the travel industry where the phrase originated.
 
if....... you are the only guy around that knows fiskars makes more than scissors, and finds the need to share that information whenever the opportunity arises.

. . . or you are shocked to discover that Fiskars makes other products like scissors, bush clippers, etc. . . . and not just axes.

Hey. I can have a tradition can't I ? :confused:

I still like the first one I started it with six years ago.

You keep an eye on the chimney of the house stove to gauge the burn while splitting wood and feeding the outdoor fire.

Good one,also while on the beach wondering if palm trees would be soft wood or hard wood and if they are seasoned before they throw the pig on there to cook.
