Like one, two, three.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Ok, maybe it doesn't really bother me to think that my neighbor, Keith has to stand on his porch in this crazy cold weather to get his smoke on. Gross.
That must be the reason people do chew. You don't have to stand outside for that!
We purchased some firewood yesterday off Craigslist because we've been so busy with the fence that we didn't take time to rent a splitter and cut all the logs we have behind the house. Aaron has been splitting some with a maul (aka by hand) but it is so cold that we aren't able to keep up and he was out splitting firewood at 5am the other day before he left for work. (what a guy!) If you haven't seen what Meg looks like splitting wood with a maul...it is quite comical. I think the axe weighs more than I do. I think Kasey has some video footage somewhere from my attempt last year. It isn't pretty.
So we finally decided to just buy a cord of wood to get us through the month, and we will rent a splitter when it isn't so cold outside. When I opened the door to greet my Craiglist firewood guy, yesterday, he was shoving a big fat pile of chew in his cheeks. Uh, welcome to the South, folks. Nasty. Nice guy, though I don't doubt he spit on my driveway. I guess we'll find out when the snow melts. Ew.
Aaron also bought a trailer on Craigslist, yesterday. With all the times we have borrowed one lately, we figured it was time to just purchase our own.
Lovely, isn't it? Totally ugly, but it has working lights, an attached tarp, will be great for anything we'll need it for, and the price was right. Aaron is so excited. It's been a big year for "Guy Toys" for him. A riding lawnmower, a boat, and now a trailer.
So with a half finished fence, an ugly boat, a cool but ugly trailer, and a cord of firewood in our driveway, along with both of our cars, because the garage is full of lumber for the fence, I think it is safe to say we are officially the WT neighbors on our block. (Sorry, Jenny!) Eventually, the boat, firewood, and trailer will be hidden behind the fence, so at least our status will be short lived if we can get some warm weather and can finish the fence. (can't wait!)
Oh wait, warm weather? It's three degrees outside.

Have you named the trailer? I think she looks like a Justine.
3 degrees? Yikes. I have no concept that that amount of cold awfulness.
I vote "Rusty", sounds like a dependable name, no?
And yes, he has gotten a lot of man toys this year. What did you get? I think you need those nesting bowls, pronto!
Before you know it we'll be complaining about having to do a long run in 95 degrees. ;P
