Incomprehensible Blathering

The shallow stream is easily crossed. The shallow mind, even more so.

Long time friend bites the big one.




Okay, so inanimate objects aren't really "friends", but you tend to get used to them. Earlier today, I was spending time splitting wood. It's actually moderately relaxing in an odd sort of way. Unfortunately, I found a piece of oak with a lot of knots which didn't want to split. It did, finally, after much leaping about of the wedge, but the final shot was too much for the wedge, too. I'm actually a little surprised. I've only had this "Wood Grenade" for a couple years. Fortunately, Menards was still open and for a measly $6.48 + tax, I was able to acquire a new "friend" and complete the splitting I wanted to do today.
