Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side.

Killing Black Widows And Splitting Firewood
That's how I spent my day and I'm beat. I finally got to a pile of walnut I've had sitting around for a few months and the black widows had set up housekeeping and got smashed for their efforts. I know to wear gloves and keep my eyes open around here, they are simply too common to ignore. I am not afraid of them but have a healthy respect for them. A local man was bitten on the foot a while back and it practically crippled him. Anyway I managed to get a few days worth of good wood split for the stove and I still have about half the pile to go as well as some olive that still needs to be cut up.
did ya get the wife to use the linament on those sore muscles? or are you one of them who has a electric or gas log spliter?
ReplyDeleteNeither Griper, no wife and no power splitter, I split my wood the old fashioned way, axe, maul and sledge at least I don't have to use a bowsaw to cut it. I actually enjoy splitting wood and have all my life, stress reduction or I am just wierd.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are "wierd"...
ReplyDeleteTrying to get your goat, goat, with comments on Tide but you won't bite--are you scared about Atlanta? You will be. You will be.
Rick, I have no doubt the Gators will be tough to beat but I am sure Saban has been studying them close and will have the Tide ready for them. It will be a classic SEC battle fought in the trenches. I remember when the 'Canes underestimated the Tide and were sent back to Florida with their hot air.
