You Know You Are A Real Wood Burner If...

3304 Cat. 24 inch eight way wedge. And an elevator to pile it all up. Ooh ooh ooh. I love to dream
Sorry Sav, but I gotta say I could do that on the horizontal if I had to.

You have an ash and an oak tree at the far end of your property from Sandy, spend 6 hours building a ramp over an old stone fence so your neighbors kid can pull your splitter to the site with his 4-wheeler cuz its too heavy for an old guy to carry in rounds and your thinking this project should be completed by march.

You have 3 tabs open to different threads in your browser

When the ONLY thing on your Christmas list is a chainsaw part or accessory.

When you became a member of a wood burning forum on Valentines Day...


Didn't think we'd notice did you Backwoods...

when you put over 4,000 posts on Hearth.com in your first year of membership........

Ash Can posts don't count unless you've been booted.

...when on MOTHER 'S DAY, you talk your wife into hauling 7 cords of wood you found cheap on Craigslist.

WELL PLAYED!

Or you sincerely apologize.

3? lol, I typically have 20-30 alerts when I log on and open each one in a new tab. Chew through those and then move on to "new business."

I've yet to figure out how wives became involved in Mother's Day anyhow. Unless you live in the DEEEEEEPPPPP South I'm pretty sure marrying your Mom isn't common!

...when you eagerly await alerts to see if Scotty has posted new photos of the stonework he has just finished installing.

Well, maybe if your wife isn't a mother... then maybe she wants to BECOME a mother. In that case, should you really be scrounging wood on Mother's Day? Hmmmm? Sometimes it's just a matter of priorities.

And if your wife IS a mother... and you gave her children like the children I gave my wife... well, let's just say I have a debt to pay. Aaaannnnd she deserves more than one special day in the year.

When you have a second driveway that only gets used as a dumping area for said wood

Guilty

When you put your coat on grab your keys and have to dig through wood shavings from your saw to find them.

When you get pissed at you retired daddy because he have all that time off and he is doing all of your wood before you, so you chainsaw have to sleep in the garage for one more season ! Ok, my dad is really gold to me .... But I sure sometime miss doing my own wood. But hey, if it all it takes to make my old man happy !! And in a decade or two, I guess I will be the on doing is wood .

Chainsaw exhaust mixed with a little woodsmoke and some fresh cut hardwood. That's the good stuff.

When you are having so much fun your non wood burner friends actually ask to come over and help!
