Exercise !!

Yeah, here it is. One of the main reasons so many of us are fat, lazy, stupid, depressed and numb. Exercise, or lack of it, is one of the main reasons we are becoming the laughing stock of the world. We sit in our cubicles all day and consider it work, then go home and sit on the couch and watch TV from the exhaustion of sitting on our butt the whole day. Then we order a pizza and pop to be delivered so we don't have to actually 'make' supper. Then we pop some pills because we are depressed, and lethargic, and stupid.

But then there are you yuppies out there who decided that today your going to use that $500 treadmill, or $1000 Bowflex to get in shape. I never really understood exercise equipment myself. Most of the crap they sell can be done for FREE without their equipment. I think it's just the fact that if you spend a thousand bucks on something, you'll feel motivated to use it since your probably paying for it for 3 years on your credit card. Yeah .. smart thinking!! Chances are, the equipment you bought will be a clothes hanger in a matter of weeks, and be at your rummage sale this spring.

I would like to introduce you to MY exercise program. Free of charge, and actually gets you in shape, PLUS pays you back when wintertime comes.

THIS IS A TREE - about 50 feet tall, setting in a mass of snow.


THIS IS AN AX - It is used for cutting down trees.


THIS IS A BOWSAW - It is used to cut a downed tree into smaller pieces.


THIS IS A SPLITTING MAUL - It is used for splitting wood once it's in smaller pieces.


THIS IS A TARP AND ROPE - It will be used to transport cut wood to a storage area.

This is a record year of snow, about a 2.5 foot average on this picture, also the distance from the tree to the storage area is about 100 yards.

There you have it, an exercise program that will pay you money back just to use it when you have FREE heat this winter. I will chop down this tree (by hand), saw it into pieces (by hand), split the logs (by hand), and transport them to the storage area (by hand). I will NOT be using a chainsaw for any part of this, nor will I be using a tractor or 4 wheeler or anything else to move wood from point A to point B. Every log, every branch, every twig will be moved (by hand) across a distance of about 100 yards, through 2 or 3 feet of snow none-the-less.

So have fun making other people rich by paying for your gym membership that you'll eventually never go to, I will be pouring out my blood, sweat, and tears providing free heat to Me and My family for the next winter, all the while I'll be getting into the best shape of my life.

On a final note, CNN, Fox News, and NBC were all out on the road setting up their film crews and remote satellites for this unprecedented event of life changing activities. Unfortunately, I had to politely persuade them with My guns to go somewhere else as this venture is a personal and private one and the only updating that will be allowed will be on My blog. SORRY !!!
