    I mean I've always known I've had a problem with firewood,trees and saws but the other day it really hit me.

    It was sunday, we were at a wedding for one of mrs piney's friends. As we sat there during the ceremony i kept looking at the massive oaks we were sitting under, trying to guess how many cords each tree held.

    Before I knew it the ceremony was over, the women were crying and I was still wondering :hair:

    :rofl: :lol:

    Right where I want to be.
    I don't see the problem.
    Sounds like a perfect way to pass the time while waiting for an end to the ceremony. :D

    Smokinpiney , we went to Syracuse New York yesterday and on the way down my wife would say, look at that dead tree that would make nice firewood.........after she said that about seven trees I realized it had spread to my wife. :hair:

    When we made it to the graduation party some people start asking me what's this tree or that tree, holy chit it spread to my whole family.

    Before we take off for home my BIL ask me what's this tree, I said it looks like a river birch, he says no it can't be........... I said what is it, he said I'm not sure but it's not a birch.........holy chit he doesn't even believe me so it was nice to be home.

    It was a river birch.

    Want for a train ride on a steam engine, some of it was through the woods people thought that part was boring, I thought it was great trying to ID the trees as we were going along

    A bunch of women crying is a serious problem. Congratulations on taking the first step to recovery. I am sure many here have been in your shoes and can offer support to get you through.

    Apparently some guy said "I do"...and then insult to injury, no trees were processed during the reception!

    Mrs Sean and my son took the dog for a walk the other day. I was at work and got a text from her with a picture of my son swinging on a tire swing attached to a tree. I responded back "yup definitely a spruce tree." My son got my humor instantly.

    My wife can spot a standing dead red elm, her favorite firewood, from ΒΌ mile away at 60 miles an hour.
