Well, it's that time of year again for my annual thread.

"You keep trying to talk about how great that three year old oak is burning. While the dentist is trying to do a root canal."
 
I'm making wine bottle labels for Dennis' wood. It seems appropriate.
 
when your driving 2 hours home on I-15 in a sunk down toyota camry with a resolute acclaim in the trunk because i couldn't pass up the deal! $300.00 Wife was pretty embarrassed riding in the car with me----could proby be "you might be a redneck" joke too.....
 
You groom the wood pile to satisfy your OCD. No cobbles, odd balls or unusauals. Just splits + or - 2" no more.
 
You look forward to bitter cold nights just so you can enjoy the warmth of a wood stove.
 
...... you spend more time looking at the stove than your spouse.

...... your stove cost more than your car
 
You hear a chainsaw in the distance & you automatically started drooling.

Or jump in the truck because it may be the electric company clearing right of way and they leave the wood by the road.
 
Whenever you meet someone new, you invariably slip it in there that you burn firewood in hopes that they do too, just so you can talk about it a little more.

After 36 years wife says quit looking at me and go tend the stove. "It's cold in here and you are interrupting my Fred Astaire movie. If you could dance like him we would have central heat.".

You spend time trying to figure out how to get more stacks on your property without raising suspicious eyes of the city. This would be so I can get as far ahead as BWS! :gulp:

Quit trying. If more people keep as much stacked wood as he has on hand the tilt of the earth won't come back in our favor ;)

As you're falling asleep and visualizing the proverbial sheep jumping over the split-rail fence you're thinking: "I bet those rails are bone dry........."

Too true! I have a Toyota Tercel that I got for a commuter. Best $1300 I ever spent.
And it can hold a surprising amount of firewood in the trunk.
 
You grab a split from the pile, and instantly remember where & when you found it.
 
you decide to throw out the polyester blend bathrobe that has "singed" spots all over from ah...things.... :red: It was my first year burning dammit....I have to be more careful >:-(
You contemplate what bathrobe to get that would be the most fire resistant... :lol:
or...you get bummed out when the weather forecast for the next week is above average temps (damn indian summer) and you wanna play with your new stove.... :coolsmile: :lol:
 
Wait....bathrobe? I won't need no stinking bathrobe.....I gots the 30 now dammit.... :coolgrin:
 
.......Your anal about keeping the wood rack on the back deck and the one next to the stove filled to the max thinking like there will be a blizzard and artic cold every day, and that you'll need to survive for days on end without being able to get to the BIG wood shed down yonder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Take sunday drives pointing out peoples woodstacks..
