    You've been semi-jokingly accused of being 'OCD'....by a physician.

    Just happened 2 days ago.

    You go to the car wash more often to vacuum the wood chips/bark out of your trunk than to remove the dirt/salt off the outside...

    Your kids play "I Spy" in the car looking for who has the largest firewood stack.

    The last thing you think about before falling asleep is what your next tree is that needs to be cut/split.

    Instead of talking about the weather with a prefect stranger, you talk about your wood, and they run away.

    You mistake the woodchips in your pocket for loose change at the register.

    If you bought a pickup truck to save on fuel.....

    If you can remember when you CSS each tree in your stacks but can't remember your anniversary...

    If you sold your lawn mower to buy a new saw and stack more wood on the lawn...

    If you stand in the gas station and whistle at the price of a "bundle" of wood...

    If you spend hours sharpening chain to perfection but your car has never had an alignment...

    If you pour pre-mix in your cars has tank hoping it will sound/smell like the saw...

    If you have ever CSS a box of pencils at school/work. Bonus points for the USB powered chainsaw...

    Driving to work you grab the top of the steering wheel and for a brief moment thought you were holding the front handle of a saw. I did it today.

    You look at a piece of furniture and wonder what the moisture content is.

    You remember important events by what wood score you got at the same time.

    If you honestly do not need a privacy fence between you and the neighbors because wood is stacked the length of your yard, extra points awarded if you can hear the neighbors but can't see them due to the height of said wood.

    I used to do that, thought it was pretty silly thinking like that, but not any more...

    Now that I bought a moisture meter, I know exactly what it is... :whistle:

    ...If your wife say's "keep your eyes on the road!" because you were scoping out wood piles/splitters/or downed trees while driving. (Matter of fact happened today)

    You look at farms with downed and dead trees and become depressed/mad because you know they don’t burn and are just wasting the awesome fuel just lying around! :binoculars::mad:
