Al, about 5 years ago Charlene was going to buy a log splitter for my birthday. I started researching and found several that would suit my needs/wants.
Then I started thinking about it. Between 3 vehicles, 2 tractors, farm equipment, yard tools, hand tools, boats, toys (guns, fishing gear, welders, etc.) I'm always working on or cleaning something that I need to work/play with. And, I have a backlog of things that need attention that they usually get just before I need to use them.
My Ranger/Evinrude hasn't been on the lakes in years.
I have way more than $5,000 in reloading gear, supplies and components. And, that doesn't come anywhere near Scott. No time to shoot and deer season is coming.
Way too many guns and just bought a new Taurus Judge and associated ammo.
Just got another $250 order in from Jantz Supply in knife stuff. Need to buy about $600 more materials because daughters, granddaughters, want new steak knives for Xmas.
Yesterday I put a new handle on an axe, sharpened 3 axes and even touched up the edges of my mauls and manual splitter.
Need to start on a blue barrel floating dock.
Things seem to own me.
That's why I shy away from adding anything else like a log splitter.
Yep, Bob has a sweet sawmill.
