Title: SUCKA'!
Post by: PEARL DRUMS on January 02, 2012, 04:04:18 pm
Can you believe this? Kids nowadays! I told him I would pay him $5 CASH for each log he split into as many staves as they offered. I told him that whole pile pays $30...................he agreed and got started. Should I feel bad taking advantage of my own? I dont... :P

$30!  You're a generous fella!  My pappy woulda said "get out thar and split it er else!"  I, however, might've paid mine $10 for the whole batch :P

Thats the ol' band trailer Gus. That thing has been around the state a few times, (still going). And it hauled 6-8 logs home from Indy. I paid $900 for it and Im thinking it has paid me back many times over already! She is a beaut.

Price is right PD but I am too much of a control freak to let anyone else split my wood...might be missing a good piece of character than a "normal" guy might try to split out of the staves  >:D

Lee I have a pile of hedge staves to the ceiling, tired shoulders and a willing kid. I couldnt say no man! I started all the splits for him. He was mostly a hammer swinger. The kid has 3-4 whitewood bows now, but no osage. I told him he had to earn a yellwo bow.

Now That is the way to do it...
In my book, in any event... Make the young'uns earn it, then they will appreciate it more... or at all.  :)

i defiantly have to agree with you on that, i like gifts and because they are gifts they are special, but there is a certain pride along with the lessons learned that come from earning your own stuff

Drums:  Me and the little woman are still laughing at your opening comment and pic.  It is just, way too funny!  Crack open a beer for him and send him back out there.  It worked for me.  I've been splitting too.  You just gotta drink yourself numb.
