Chop! Chop! Hack! Hack! Timmmmmberrrrrrrrrrrr!

It is that time of the year. We drive up to Drysdale’s and hack down a tree for a month’s amusement. We went with JP and my sister who have joined us before. It was a mild outside so it was very busy. We found a fine looking tree pretty quickly and cut it down with a herring saw. Then comes the arduous task dragging it back and waiting in line for tractor to return you to the parking lot… The wait was long but I recall it being a colder and longer wait in the past. We had the dog with us who usually doesn’t handle waiting around outside in the cold too well, but even she didn’t seem to mind it too much today. I guess our veteran tree chopping experience made the process go pretty quickly. My gloves, pants and jacket were soaked however. My hands and legs therefore frozen. I was eager to get out of the cold pants when we got to JP’s. The plan was to return there for dinner. JP cooked a delicious chicken and potato feast. Maybe I was hungry… but those potatoes were amazing, dessert was a icing covered chocolate log. Mmmm. It was a pretty quiet evening. I was sacked though by the time we got home.

Shame the Sabres couldn’t find a way to beat Sid. It could have been an important two points.

So today we’ll spend around the house, get the tree up, doing some cleaning… hope it snows. Snow is better than mud and rain in December. Bah. I have a busy week with another Dental visit Tuesday and Doctor Wednesday. It should help the week go by quickly. It has been confirmed by work that I’m off from the 23rd to the 3rd. Aww… ^_^
