A New Workout?!?!?!

Hahahah so I had a new workout yesterday! I played Lumber Jill! Okay hold on let me elaborate. My uncle sales fire wood and he has a friend that has a tree removal service. Said friend calls him up and says hey I got some oak for you. Oak is a great selling wood because it burns long and hot, anyways. My uncle gets there and loads up his trailer....the logs that they give him are longer than I am tall AND 2-4 times as big around..these things are huge and heavy.  Not only this but he had like 6 trailer loads or more. I helped him with his last load on Tuesday night and then yesterday he called and asked if I could come help that he had two more loads.

So how did I help? I was the hook tender! I would jump up in the trailer climb over the logs wrap a chain around one then hook it to his tractor he'd pull it out until the forklift on his tractor could reach it then I'd rechain it to the forks or depending on the size of the log I might just roll it onto the forks. Also I was lifting out and tossing the few odd pieces that were small enough for me to lift. Then I would climb on the wood pile he was putting the logs on and retrieve the chains off the log returning to the trailer to do it another hundred times!

Needless to say it was one hell of a workout, but I'm not complaining there's something about doing work like that. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and an inner peace. It feels good to do work like that and plus it feels good to do something for a loved one. My uncle that I was helping is in cancer remission and although he does stuff like that all the time by himself I know it has to wear him out and make him sore because the type of cancer he had attacked his bones too. So I love being able to give him a hand when he needs it.

Well I got things to do and places to be later so tootles for now Muffins!!!
