Sore back!
Holy shit, my back is killing me! I guess it's no surprise cause I'm huge and getting old, but wow this is pain. Ever since pulling my back eating a sub a while ago, my back has been acting up.
We spent the weekend, chain sawing wood, then splitting wood then pilling wood. I now officially hate wood, Sure I guess trees are good, like for air and all that, but damn hassle for a heat source. We needed to get prepared for the extremely cold winter ahead, and having enough piled was on the weekend agenda. I need a wheel chair I think! That is soo much fucking work, I have done this process alot throughout my life as a Hick, but I think this is my last horah in the wonderful world of wood chopping.
Even though I drank as much whiskey as physically possible and sat in the Hot tub til I was more shriveled than John McCain, I still can barely walk. Luckily we had good weather, as It Rained on saturday and snowed on Sunday..Perfect! That helped for sure, there's nothing like freezing slate wacking me on the side of the head, while trying just to stay breathing carrying a 200 pound log. Damn the world
Luckily some of my friends came out and helped My Father and I with this duty. Most of them gave up after awhile, and I can't really blame them. Chopping wood has the appeal of trying to shave my back with a plastic butter knife, just miserable.
I had to think, what about these people that do this for a living. They must be saints, I don't get it, how can someone really do this every day! I'd be crippled instantly, wouldnt even get out of bed in the morning if this is what I had to look up to. Don't get me wrong I am not putting these people who do this down, I'm praising their work. They must be all Ninja's
Now that the weekend is over, and over 10 cords of wood is split and piled we are pretty happy that we got it done. I am a drool away from a mouth activated wheel chair mind you, but happy nonetheless. I guess the old timers did this alot, cause My 60yr father killed me in the wood dept, and made us look like little girls out there, so good for him, I havn't talked to him today, maybe I'll call to see if he's still alive! He can't feel Good....
Either way next time I have the option of splitting wood or anything else, I will always pick the anything else. Beats Freezing I guess, but barely!
