Monday Ramble: The Filthie Woodsman

 

Hmmppfppfpffffppffff!

Fag.

I can't believe the foolish Americans are impressed with poseurs like this. Sigh. They simply have no appreciation for the real men amongst them - like Yours Truly!

*In a manly baritone*

With my rubber soled Crocs 

And my 12 inch saw I cut big timber small

Then I get my hydraulic

Wood splittin jig and 

A cord of wood's f***all!

My ass is two axe handles wide

Looks like a toad and it smells like it died

Hey Filthie!

Glen Filthie!!!

Sing along everyone!

How many bloggers are worthy of their own theme song? Not that many, I'd wager!

I just love this thing. I split wood for about 4 hours until 

my back started screaming at me - and got enough

wood split to get me into midsummer.

I can put the biggest noggerheads on there and it'll split 'em

like match sticks.

When I was a kid I could swing a maul like Paul...

but those days are long gone.

I was told that we should be able to notice the solar eclipse from Aaaaaaadmontin and that the sun would be 23% occluded by the moon.... But I didn't notice it here at all. It was bright, blue and clear and a great day for stuff like this. Between bouts with the splitter I picked up half the winter's land mines left by the dawgs. I suppose some of 'em were Mort's but I couldn't tell for sure - my little niglet pup poops like a Texas truck driver or a United States Marine. I sure had the favour of the Gods when I took that little black girl home. 

By the way - you can all consider spring officially started. I formally put away the snow shovels, brooms and scrapers... and broke out my shorts, tee shirt and boonie hat. I don't care if we get 5" of snow on Friday - I ain't shoveling snow again until it flies in the fall! It was a scortchin 15 degrees out there today.

I hope it is nice and warm where you guys are today - and that your spring chores are well in hand.

Cheers!

Filthie
