I figured CT was far enough north of the Mason Dixon line to limit in bred ash grabbin? Either way I'd say that was a fine load of ash, I'd hit it with the Fiskars for sure.
Soon as I saw the headline, I laughed. When I was in college, a guy had two motorcycles and we'd go riding on weekends. I was at my rich girlfriend's parent's sprawling house when he came to pick me up to take me to his house, where the bikes were. She was drop dead gorgeous, a real show stopper. In casual conversation, I thought the guy said, "Your girlfriend has a nice a$$." I was a bit taken aback but, hey, I wanted to ride his Harley, so, I just said, "Yes, she does." I thought it was a bit odd that he would say that to me because I was a lot bigger than him but let it roll because she WAS stunning. Like Playboy material. Coupla weeks later, it kinda bugged me and I confronted him about him having had the gonads to make his comment. He set me straight, "Nice HOUSE, not nice a$$, although, c'mon, it's nice, too, you're a lucky man." Sexist, yes, but it seems to kinda make the world go around. Very fitting, she ran off with the preacher. Ten years later, same thing happened to my younger brother. We don't trust preachers.
