    Definitely better toe protection.
    o_O

    I know I'd end up with a broken one at a minimum.
    :doh:

    It's always more awesome when the "other half" is involved.

    Chazsbetterhalf split a lot of wood over the last number of years, but health problems made her full time "supervisor" this year.
    :confused:

    I split wood the last two years in my cut-offs on the hotter days but I also had running shoes on.
    Yeah, she definitely needs the milk crate.
