I spent all weekend cutting and splitting a large tree in my yard. I had to cut the tree down even though I didn't want to but I was dead and endangering my house. It was major work and to save time, I rented a splitter. No judgement from the peanut gallery either, I gots to get ready to hit the track in less than 2 weeks.

Anyway... My wife noticed my neighbor (450ft from my house) pulling a tree to his house to cut, so I went to offer my rented splitter and time to help him out. His only source of heat is wood and he was running pretty low. Here in KY, there is a couple months of cold weather still on the calendar.

So... you know what I did. I asked him to bring his truck over to my house. When he showed up, we loaded it heaping full of cut and split wood from my stack and hooked the splitter to the tow hitch. Jade and I loaded in the truck and followed him to his crib and we worked our tails off refilling his stack. We also cut and split what he had too.

2 solid days of work, 2 warm houses, 2 happy families, 1 warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from a personal heat source.
