You're 5 years ahead on your 3 year plan, still collecting wood, and house chores keep falling further and further behind... and you appreciate how patient your wife is.
When you meet some town folk and tell them where you live and they ask “the house with all the firewood?”
Or your neighbor stops by and suggest you sell some firewood to him cuz it’s not going to be any good by the time you get to it.
You know when you have 3 big trees down and at least another 5or6 to drop on your own property, but continue to hoard elsewhere.
I’m going to cut a dead one tomorrow I’ve been looking at for at least 3yrs. It’s a mystree too. I figure it’s the brush cleanup that I avoid for so long. Since it’s been dead so long I’ll try running the bush hog over the small stuff.

or... if you've got a fishing trip this week, and while you're out in the garage getting ready for it, you automatically gravitate to your chainsaw needs.... making sure you have plenty of bar oil, and mixing up another 1/2 gallon or 50:1 gas/oil, even though you don't need it. That reminds me, I need to finish getting ready for my fishing trip...
