    Dad called me before Christmas and said he had a white oak come down and wanted some help.Looked at it Christmas day. It's a BIG one. BTW dad is 88 years old. He had a lot of limbs already cut up with his MS 180 but we had to get the rootball off. Dad's is Stihl selling about 15-20 cords a year.

    I just hope I'm on the right side of the grass at 88 let alone running a chainsaw! Awesome you still have him around to enjoy time with - especially time in the woods!

    Great job and always fun working with Dad. My Dad is 88 last year as well. Still very active but starting to slow down some.

    That’s so awesome to see an 88 year old man cutting firewood. I’ve got teenage cousins in my family that would apply for disability if they had to sweat or get a callus on theirs hands. Your pops is the man
