Educating my bride.

[schlot]

I was out of town for a couple of days. My son tells my wife that he is going camping with some friends and wonders if he can take some wood with him.

My wife, trying to be a good step mom says "sure", but instead of the aged silver maple and boxelder I had stacked, she pointed him to the mulberry and hickory stack.

I laughed and explained the difference so that wouldn't happen again.

I'm pretty stingy with my wood . . . but my friend who helps me cut wood (and who loves smoking meat and camping year-round) knows exactly while pile/stack to pick from if he ever wants wood for camping or his winter camp stove.

My neighbor thinks the heavier the better. I let him take wood for his occasional fireplace fire. I see him lifting the pieces and taking what he thinks is good but in reality its I yr old red oak. He thinks its great! He knows to stay away from my locust and hedge.

OUCH! Here's to hoping she doesn't let that happen again! That's almost grounds for making her sleep out in the shed for punishment!
