Lumberjack Tim
I was at Lowes today picking up some yard waste bags. I brought a list of items to buy but there was one missing item and I couldn’t remember what it was. As I was walking down the aisles trying to find the waste bags when I saw what I was looking for. There hanging in the racks was a single hand hatchet. Back in December some large branches fell on our yard before the holidays and lay in our yard. Yesterday Qbert and I were able to cut and bag most of it. However, there were some large branches that were too big for our branch cutter. Enter the hatchet!
This afternoon I spent an hour or so hacking the branches into smaller more manageable sizes. At first the chopping was going slow. All that chopping was reminding me of my Teen Missions International days. A couple cuts to the right, a couple to the left and large chunks are cut out. Soon I had all the branches reduced to logs. I built a makeshift teepee outside with all the cut logs. Now I need a firepit to burn them
