Mrs. Skinny Helped Me Get Wood Today October 1, 2011

A few more shots from the day:
We had an unusually wet spring and summer. “They” say that makes the fall colors even better than usual. “They” might be right. It was a nice day to cut wood and not be at work.

She kind of looks like Tom Petty with her new hat.
From a distance, that is.
Wow, nice memories of Utah in the fall. I love those fall colors. We have a few nice photos from Brian Head ski area.
Someday we will go to the North East and go Leaf Peeping around Laura and Scott’s.
forget the load , what a woman . 🙂
Great pics. Your lady is lovely.
Our leaves are starting to turn here. Almost had a light frost last night.
It seems the longer you’re married the less eager teh wife gets to help you get wood.
Pretty.
So are the trees and stuff.
I bet Cathy would loan you her wood splitter.
What did you do/ say right before you took the pic? She looks angry.

She’ll probably form a splinter group.
It was starting to rain and we could see some lightning. We were just about to start the drive off the mountain and I told her to get out of the truck and get up there so I could get a blog picture. I didn’t tell her to hold a long aluminum pole, so I don’t know what her problem was. She wasn’t really mad–kind of wiped out though. It’s pretty hard work. She loads while I cut. That’s two trees on the trailer. One wasn’t too bad, but one was a big mofo.
GROAAAAAANNNNNN

Sometimes you should just say “she had a hangnail”
SHE loaded those big cuts???
Holy crap. Some of them look to be 18-20″ diam. and just as long. Heavy stuff for a little lady.
We have a 20-ton splitter. The little lady loves to split. I’ll have to take a picture of some of the big ones we haven’t split yet. 18-20″? Heh. You have no idea how I abuse her. The trailer (borrowed from a great neighbor) has ramps for loading a car on it. She rolls the big boys up. I help her if they’re crazy size.
Indiatripping.com? Tushar?

You can never tell with women. They’re just goofy, and as Dave says, it helps to watch the calendar.

I have this power but I must only use it for good.
MS 390? That’s a man’s chainsaw, Skinny. Good choice.
(in addition to John Deere, our dealership also sells Stihl chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, and pole saws).
They’re not cheap, but I’ve never regretted buying it. A couple of neighbors have 440s, but I really don’t want to deal with the size of stuff they cut down. I like to keep my intestines inside my body.
BTW, how do you know when you need a new bar? Mine looks like hell but seems to work fine.

When they start watering your drinks and stop laughing at your jokes, I guess.
Where’s Lauraw with that Deadly Hump Toxin when you need her?

When the bartender tells you “yew got a purty mouth.”
I helped shovel 4 tons of gravel this past weekend.
I’m now permanently stooped and my knuckles drag on the ground.
