I'm sure cutting down trees is(was) more fulfilling(for you) and that's fine. It's also fine that you haven't done it in years and currently work in an oil patch, nothing wrong with that. I'm sure you make good money and the excitment keeps you coming back for more.

And I'll be the first to admit, working on a 'farm' that your father and grandfather literally put together with their bare hands isn't very rewarding at all. Cattle market is in the tank and our old combine broke down before we got any of the crop in the bin. Pretty pathetic way to make a living let alone spend a day.



SamO,

I groove on how you wish to go JeffO and troll for heartstring,as a feeble foible! Pardon my being raised on a "farm" as you call it,my hands having seen dirt at an early age and my fondest memories being pickles jarred from the garden,steaks from the field and fish from the creek...it was "rough". Great Grandpa homesteaded and the Tradition continues to this day.

Please don't flatter yourself,that I'd EVER construe that Cutting was something you could do. The pics were reaffirmation of topography and vegetation and I whole heartedly apologize,if you Imagined yourself as being a viable candidate to perform likewise! I'd not care to burst your bubble that I've single handedly sent well over 100,000,000 board feet to Market and am a touch beyond "comfy" in them particulars. Humored mightily here,that you could hang. Laffin'!

That being said,vocation don't change my location,despite your consternation of the situation,which only fuels your frustration. Funny how yesterday's realizations,fuel your Imaginations. Bless your heart!

Where we at...did we do this one yet? I cain't keep track of the whines. Laffin'!

I'd concur in that your slot,leaves a whole bunch more than a [bleep] alot,to Live for. But It's Funny!



Ackleymam,

YOU miss the point. Hammers are "heavy" and grass gets "deep",so your "findings" are encouraged!

Too funny!
