Lol, I didn't even think of it that way.

Dang kids! Should be out there helping. My wife did that to me, while I was working the hydro on a hot summer night last year. She thought it was funny. Haha

This is what I was thinking also. I hope to be able to do the same when I am his age.

You kids and your new-fangled technology! In my day, we had to split it by hand -- and we LIKED it!

My grandfather was like this. He knew his limits though. I would get invited over for lunch, filled up on some home cooking and then asked to give him a hand out back. I'd round that corner to a pile of rounds 10 ft tall and 20 ft in diameter. I always earned that 'free' lunch.

When it comes to older folks working hard, that is what they grew up doing. When I was a young punk in my early 20s I went to stay with my grandfather for a couple of weeks. He and I went out to buck and haul back his winter heat supply in 20 degree weather one morning. He was still going strong when I had to quit, around lunch time. If I remember right we brought in 3 wagon loads of wood that morning. At the time I thought it was so unfair because I knew I should be the one who was ready to go on. Now I understand because after a lifetime of somewhat hard work I have better endurance than I did back then. This was the same old man whose doctor told him he needed to take a nap in the afternoon after he had several heart attacks. He went out and got all his chores done in the morning so he could comply. My grandmother had to sell off their about 500 chickens to get him to slow down a bit. (He was in the egg business)

I agree, my dad could outwork me into his seventies. That is all he knew since probably his teens and he loved it.....
