OK... but forget the "carrying water" part.
One of the things I've been doing which has been helping to "burn off" some of this dark energy that has formed within, is to drive over to our good friends Bob and Barbara and chop wood for their fireplace.
New construction next door had destroyed a couple of their trees.. and Bob, having no inhibitions at fussing at the people responsible, proposed the deal that they should now at least chainsaw the trees into 18 inch rounds for him, which they agreed to do.
We considered renting a motorized splitter but decided the cost was prohibitive and besides which neither Bob nor myself are too keen on actually putting in a full days labor, which this little project would surely have required of us.
We are both retired, you know.
So I had a better (?), but certainly less expensive method of getting all this wood whacked into fireplace pieces and then carried and stacked up by their house.
We would buy an eighteen dollar chopping maul and we would just do-it-ourselves on a "whenever-we-feel-like-it" basis.
So that's where it is at right now. I figure that we are about a quarter of the way through the pile.
Of course we had to try to make a foolish little video of our woodsy, He-man like adventure.
