I got home a little early yesterday and it was gorgeous out, so i decided to bust through the remaining piles of bucked up wood sitting next to the splitter. I ran it for about 35 minutes, and this morning when i put on my sweatshirt, it has the fantastic smell of gas, a few wood chips (they were apple, crabapple and cherry).

MMMMmmmmmmmmm.
 
Its the manliest cologne in existence. 2-stroke and sawdust.

My wife hates the smell of two-stroke . . . or any exhaust smell . . . come to think of it . . . about every smell I come in contact with or generate on my own.

I like the smell of firewood processing but my wife makes me take off my firewood clothes when I come back in the house.

The worst garage smells come from gear oil or automatic transmission fluid, when I get a bunch of that on my clothes they pretty much go into the trash. I don't even want that smell in the house!
 
2stroke exhaust saturated clothing is all part of a manly essence. Freshly cut dank wood smell is just as good.
 
i just walked by and one of my co-workers said "what is that smell?" I said, if its the sweet smell of 2 stroke, its me. if its that stupid scented candle down the hall, thats HR.... :)
 
When one of your girls gets out of the truck and then leaves a container of chocolate milk laying around and you find it a week later........that is the worst smell in the garage.

Well yeah! Look at Paul Bunyon, how do you think he hooked up with Babe, the blue ox. It wasn't from smelling like roses!
