You know you have Firewood Hoarding Disorder (FHD) when... ...You scan the countryside for down/dead trees and mentally catalogue their location as you drive to/from work, intending to follow up on every last one of them. ...A gassed & sharpened chainsaw is always ready in your vehicle, 24x7. ...You almost miss a Valentine's day date with your wife because you scrounged some dead & fallen wood real quick that you came across while driving past another tree service company across town.
Can't tell you just how many times she has asked me while we are going somewhere in the car...."You're looking for firewood aren't you?"
..... You eventually give in to cutting the grass, or cleaning up the snow, when it's twice as high or twice as deep as it should be. Having to stop cutting firewood to do this.
Sitting in a tree stand crossbow at the ready but looking at all those dead standing Red Oak. Then as if from no where a deer walks out from under your tree. How long have you been there you ask. FHD
...when sawdust and bark becomes your man-glitter....and is found all over your chariot's floorboards, in the kitchen, annoying the wife...
...when you keep a spreadsheet tracking loads of firewood burned by year plus how many loads are stacked for the upcoming years and the locations of the next trees to CSS
When you tell the wife your going out for a walk when you are really out admiring your stacked wood and mentally planning on where to start the next row of split wood.
