Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carry the big log, chop the big log<\/p><\/div>\n

Not really good at quitting stuff, like chopping wood. The pain was intense.<\/p>\n

Needed doing. The best part is when you chopped the last log of the day. The worst part finding one more piece of firewood that I missed.<\/p>\n

This is not easy wood to chop, knotty hard wood that needs the splitting maul sledgehammered through right down the tiniest piece.<\/p>\n

I have ten more even bigger pieces left. Today I chose the log with the least amount of knots. Leaving the worst still in the pile.<\/p>\n

Oh well this is the life I chose, just wasn’t counting on aging.<\/p>\n
