ebinmaine 67,274 #1 Posted September 25, 2020 All right boys and girls. We got ourselves a situation. I was at work today. Busting my back and earning some clams so I could bring home the bacon. My female took the day off from work so she could spend the day around the ranch getting some stuff done. I come cruising into the yard this afternoon and what do I find? Aforementioned female and her mom have borrowed my Horse to pull the log splitter down from another location so they could use it next to the pile of logs in the back "yahd". See the hood of the poor poor Cinnamon Horse?? It has been undignifyingly and reprehensibly reassigned as an adult beverage shelf. The miserably wretched former stallion... WHAT SHOULD I DO??? Is the Horse going to need counseling? Does my female deserve reprimand? Should the log splitting earn time off for positive actions? 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,504 #2 Posted September 25, 2020 I guess I would bring this up with your paint department & see what kind of comments that you get. My personal paint department would & has come unglued over such a thing though. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,985 #4 Posted September 25, 2020 I would put 5 more on there and let'm finish the whole pile! Then go inside, get myself a nice cocktail or three and consider the wood splitting work done 2 4 1 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pat's late husband had a Hayes logging truck, one day in the yard Art asked her to move it forward. She forgot to release the maxies and twisted a driveshaft into a corkscrew. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #23 Posted September 26, 2020 I'd be more upset about them splitting logs. I enjoy working with wood. Only if I can burn it though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #24 Posted September 26, 2020 Alcoholic or not, the disrespect of the Wheel Horse brand here is automatically forgiven when you consider you have your wife AND MOTHER IN LAW out processing wood. That is a major accomplishment and should be celebrated on occasion with added beverages, alcoholic preferred. Simple. Alternately, if the tractor is all important, cast all blame on the mother in law and discard appropriately. You're a lucky man. Reveal the secret as I can't get my wife anywhere near an axe.
