No good deed goes unpunished. A couple weeks ago I sold my neighbor 2/3 of a cord. He had a limb in the yard and asked what I would charge to cut it up for him. I said "nothing"; after all, he pays me what I consider more than a fair price for the wood and he is my neighbor; and, it would take me about 5 minutes. Went over and cut it up tonight. Finished all the cuts and there was one piece in the shape of a "V" so I decided to cut the crotch and make 2 pieces. About an inch down the saw stopped cutting....I hit metal on a like new chain only sharpened once. That's my gripe for the day.
The boys and I did get a cord stacked and some more split today, then I took them to the movies. I like spending the day with them at the woodlot. They would rather spend it somewhere else. A couple weeks ago I was splitting and they were stacking. I heard them laughing and could see them talking. Later that night they told me the wrote a song for me while stacking. They sang it to me; it was about how they hate going to the woodlot. It was funny as heck.
