    You know you're a wood hoarder when you are inspecting the grain on a piece of stew meat and trying to decide what the best angle to split it with an axe would be. :axe:

    when.....


    You hear a distant chainsaw, knowing a potential score might be at hand.

    You walk your woodyard for nothing more than to admire your stacks, knowing the effort you put in.

    You shake your head at the prices of bundled wood outside of stores.

    When you view the tree service folks as being sacred, and most definitely as family.

    Run it around the pasture once to warm it, knock the hooves & horns off & serve it.

    My dad in restaurants would tell the waitress just sear it please. Many times they would come back and ask him again. He would say “heat your spider white hot, throw it in there for one minute each side then throw it on my plate”.

    My dad called a cast iron frying pan a spider.
