What Was I Thinking?

Today, I decided that I would be burly and go to the mountains to get a load of firewood. So, I loaded up the truck with the chain saw, chain oil, gasoline, etc. and headed out. I even tried, unsuccessfully, to build side panels for the truck bed so that I could stack even more wood. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Let's just say that I grossly overestimated my abilities! I did OK for about half an hour, before my legs and arms started tremoring from the chain saw. I'm such a wuss!


I was disappointed, but not overly so, when the chain saw stopped workng. I had worked too hard, though, to find decent sized logs that I wasn't about to leave them there. I loaded them into the back of the truck too, uncut, and still only had about half of the bed filled with wood. So much for my attempt to be burly!

It was, at least, a beautiful day to be in the mountains.


I also took my camera and got some nice photos. Next year, I am going back to this spot before the trees lose their fall colors.
