It's all good. I could see that you were out walking. Is your friend a Boston Terrier ? He looks like an awful good dog.

I tend to be more about "exercise with a purpose". That's code for work around the homestead like putting up the firewood for the winter in these parts. It's kinda like where my own "something from nothing" project came in.

There's a lot of softwood spruce trees in this area. Storms come through and knock down some of the older trees every so often. I was the caretaker for a few wealthy property owners in the area and was paid to cut them up and haul them off. I would haul off the cut up logs to my yard.

I was not only getting my wood for free ... i was getting paid to take it.

Once here on the homestead ... i split and stacked the firewood for the following winter. The firewood provided heat and hot water all through the cold season here in Maine.



It saved about three grand a year in home heating costs. Better yet ... the firewood in my yard never turned into money so there was no obligation to pay income tax on the fruit of my labors.

I guess you could say that energy is money too. There's only so much a fulla can do in the course of a day so he wants to get the best possible return on his investment of energy.
