If you’ve been reading me for a VERY long time, you may remember I wrote a post about how I wanted a chainsaw. The Mister didn’t think that was a good idea, on accounta how I’m small, clumsy, and weak-handed. Or so he claimed. I believed it was because of my lack of penis.
On Sunday, I was doin dishes when he came into the kitchen and said, “I’ll be back.”
“Where ya goin?”
“Wherever I want.”
“Whatcha gonna get?”
“Whatever I want.”
Moo said he was goin to Menards, and she was goin with, and she told him we need some Bartender’s Keeper.
I finished washin the dishes, and I thought, he’s gonna buy a chainsaw. Cause it’s baby tree time, and last year he never got those _other-_ucking, _ock-_ucking mulberry bushes out back, because the ones in the front put his back into spasm, plus that tornado branch on the side of the house, and the green apple tree needs a branch taken off …
It just makes good sense.
Homeowners on wooded lots should have chainsaws. Inevitably, it’ll be necessary, and we are a mostly DIY kinda people.
He did! He bought a chainsaw!
Completely unbeknownst to me, he had been thinking about a chainsaw and watching the sale prices. The shock doesn’t even stop there! He identified and cut down the mulberries. And then he mowed the grass. In early April.
It was a magical day, and one to be cherished. I shall speak of it fondly, “Remember the day you bought the chainsaw?” Ah, so romantic.

It’s an important day, to be sure. I was happier the day I bought a leaf-blower. The Mrs. didn’t want me to have one. She doesn’t wsnt anybody to have one. She agreed that unneeded one to blow stuff out from under our porch. Happy day!

Heh. I think a leaf blower would be a welcome idea, and honestly, I think we’d use it more this time of year, with all the maple buds. We don’t rake the back, and the front, we rake into the beds. But I’m sure The Mister would love to have another vroom vroom!

I get the importance of this day. We were looking at chainsaws over the weekend, but didn’t buy one. Wonder if I show my husband this post if he’ll get all romantic and buy me/us one?

We have a chainsaw, and have owned several, over the years. Husband uses them to prume bushes and hedges and cut down trees. I have never used it because someone adult needs to be able to call 911.

When we had our wood-burning stove, a chain saw and a good axe/splitting maul were vital. In our rental house, all the trees around are too small I personally think a good pair of loppers is hard to beat. I personally detest leaf-blowers a) because they’re so stinking loud and b) because many people using them think it’s fine to just blow all their yard junk into other people’s yards or into the street, rather than ever picking it up.

If it’s needs a chainsaw we call someone. If it doesn’t Loppers, and handsaw are we use. I lop, He-Man does the sawin’. A chainsaw? Nope his pick axe scares the hell out me. I stay in the house when he’s using it, and keep the kids in too. I’d have to go to the mall and shop if he was using a chainsaw.

Charlie has a handful of chainsaws, which makes him sound a lot more like Bruce Campbell than he is. He’s with chainsaws like a friend of ours is with cars — has a bunch of clunkers in the hopes of getting at least one of them to work when he needs one. I’m trying to talk him into getting one a little more upscale, one that’ll be cost less to repair than to replace. Fingers crossed. And congratulations on getting that yard work done. Give that honey some sweet tea!

The chainsaw he bought has a three-year warranty, so I’m guessing it will break in year three. I will tell him not to have it repaired, I will tell him to buy somethin new and more powerful 😉 Thank you for imparting this wisdom.
