“Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.”
Annie Dillard
Friday the 13th and -40 tonite yeehaw.
The good part I have enough wood chopped for the night, maybe not. Bad part pain in joints is extreme. You knew I had to do it, the wheelbarrow was half empty. I was compelled to fill it. So out to the woodpile grabbed what was left from a couple of days ago and hauled those to the splitter. Started the gen after putting gas in it. Back down to split again.
I know what you are thinking, I am not really obsessive-compulsive. This decision was based on rational thought. Tomorrow morning it would still be -40. Generators don’t start, wood splitters don’t split. I looked at the pile of logs I had inside, it just didn’t look like enough. Besides that needed to collect more snow for melting and filtering. So out I went. Bruce knows.
