As if the old back was not shot enough...start with two full work days on the roof, move onto a morning of helping at a sawmill, winch a 400 pound wood stove up some stairs into a truck, and top it off with 6 hours in the Dodge. I was able to score some 24" cherry logs which are worth quite a bit and have them sawed up down the road. I slabbed up the big one for a dining room table and bar top for the house. It only cost me $35 and a back to do it so well worth the lumber. Maranda and I drove down to Waynesville, NC to pick up or new stove for the house. The guys asked right away if either of were engineers. It was quite a feat winching up 30 stairs on a homemade sled. All the effort was worth the score of a 1983 Fisher Grandma Bear 3 that looked like it had only been used 5 times in 25 years. I could not be more excited...and so is she. We hit Sam's on the way home because nothing hits the spot more on a long day than a 15 pound bag of M & M's.
