This makes me feel like a powerful dude more than riding through the countryside wearing a Lycra suit. But I still prefer riding… that said, this wood splitting session was a really serious workout! Makes me appreciate how the early settlers had to do it before steam powered machines lightened the load. Somehow, the tired feeling I get producing a pile of firewood like this is still more satisfying than the same effort riding in circles on my bike. There’s something of a primal satisfaction in this kind of productive hard labour. Good for the body and the mind. Happy Labour Day!
