    Well, actually, the Mrs and I were out walking up and down the street.

    We came across a guy in a yard, and we talked a bit.

    Come to find out, the guy was someone my wife knew, had moved into his parents house and yadda...yadda..yadda. so...

    My wife amd i had both previously noticed a pile of splits and smoke rising from a chimney.

    As we were about to continue on our walk, the guy was placing his chainsaw into his truck. I asked him if he was off to make some noise. He was. I said it's a good thing to make noise like that It was like seeing a light go off on the guy's face. He asked if we were in the house on the corner. We are. He then asked, "the house with loud music and chainsaw?". Yup, that's me. It put a smile on my face.

    When doing any yard work, I have a radio playing. He walks his dog along the street and knows when I'm outside doing work. He now has got a face, not masked, to the noise maker.

    I hope he decides to come up to the yard the next time he hears my noise. I'd proudly show off the fruits of my efforts. Following CDC guidelines, of course. Maybe, a new member here. We'll see.

    Thought you were going to say that a deer bit you in the neck.

    It's a neck buff. Very handy things to have, decoration aside. In the cold weather, it's a nice layer around your neck, not tight at all. In the warm months, it keeps the sun from sneaking up on you. You can dampen it and it'll keep you cool. They come in all kinds of prints.
