Thoughts for 2022:

1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison

2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it

3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight

4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles

5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late

6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago

7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects

8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative

9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers

10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?

11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing

12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever

13. I run like the winded

14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on

15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"

16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminium can stuffed with celery?

17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited

18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."

19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out

20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops

21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb

Hmmmm... 100 blows with the big maul onto the hatchet as a wedge and the wedge just got stuck.:(
Another 100 blows with the maul onto a Log-Grenade splitter and the hatchet was freed but the grenade was stuck.:mad:
50 more blows onto the grenade and the round of eucalyptus finally shattered into 2 pieces, both too big for the fire.:rolleyes:
This will not end well i fear. It isn't doing my back any good at all. The Eucalyptus was 30-40 foot tall and it is now cut into 10-12" slices all of which needs splitting. :(:(:(

Pay a man to do it, it's cheaper than the physio to sort you after ...

Axing wood is certainly a good workout:D.
Used to do 20cube a year but now its only done on the free wood found around;) still amounts to a fair bit, most we get now pre chopped:D.

Finally retyred me old faithful tape measure it only lasted 12yrs, so thats on the shopping list for the next DIY shop run. got to find the little backup 1, its here somewhere:oops:.

Got under me tratter today with me noo mini pistol grip grease gun. Much better than the big two handed tool when three hands are needed. Got grease into three of the UJ's no problem, took a bit of effort to get it into the fourth one but got it done in the end with a bit of grease escaping, and didn't have to keep rotating the props to get at the nipples. Should have bought one of these mini grease guns a long time ago.
