    Yup, you got the bug. There's no cure, you know. Best thing you can do is hang out with other people that know what you're going through. Sounds like you stumbled on the site the same way many of us did. Spending time on the forum only fuels the addiction. Welcome. Also, don't feel wierd about taking pictures of woodpiles--it is perfectly normal behavior.

    Welcome to the family Doug! Great group of knowledgeable people here willing to help anyway they can. Even willing to help nourish that wood hoarding addiction you've contracted.

    Welcome mmjhunter, I've only been around for a couple of months and learned a lot from our fellow borders. It also feeds the addiction a little when I don't have time to get out and css. What's your favorite cutten tools?

    Right now I'm running an old Stihl 044 my pops gave me. Good saw he gave me the original receipt from 1989 lol I'm looking to purchase a smaller saw for the smaller wood, I'm leaning towards the echo 400 , or another Stihl., really like the echo tho , right now my splitter consists of Collins maul lol. My wife actually mentioned she wanted to buy me some hydraulics
