Happy New Year Dien,

As I write this it is pouring down Rain.
Has been Raining off and on all night.

WEIRD Christmas this year. 9 days in a row - rain.

=======

Here's a BARTER STORY that took
Five Months to Happen.

This morning I spotted my neighbor walking Down my sidewalk.
Then thru the shrubs back to his house.

Found a Note Taped to my door.

=========
"Dear Glenn,

"I just got the 2 Trees We Agreed on cut into 13 inch
Lengths - as we agreed.

Bob S.

=========
OH.

5 Months ago - back in August I told Bob. "Next time you hire the guy
with the chainsaw to trim trees at your house.

"IF you pay him to saw up this big Locust and the 3 foot oak that
fell over here next to our property lines....

"I'll split the wood with you.

"1/2 for you - 1/2 for me AND I'll split it for you.

"And dump it near your house.

I
Thought
Bob
Forgot.

I CHECKED THE Weather and Except for sprinkles of rain we were ok
today - Monday - Dec 28th, 2015.

But 100% chance of rain Monday Nite.
All Day Tuesday.
50% chance of rain on Wednesday too.

I cut and put two Truck Loads
of locust - My Share - on the porch.

Bob finally showed up to tell me how small he wanted his wood split
and cut.

Bob has a really small wood stove.

So I split and hauled one load CUT SMALL and dumped it on the wood pile next to Bob's House.

============
============
WHY IS This a Good Deal for Both of us?

Bob has a Pacemaker in his chest.

ME?

I don't like ChainSaws.

But my Grandfather taught me to hit what I'm aiming at with an
ax and a sledgehammer.

My fireplace insert is big enough
that I was able to Split MY 50% of the Locust Tree in Half.

Then Haul big 30 lb chunks of wood to the porch.
(Very little work for a LOT of wood.)

I even cut 4 of the 3 foot thick Oak Rounds
into pieces I could burn. Piled them on the porch.

Took Five Hours.
Had
to quit
cuz
it
started raining.
