In my introduction, I mentioned that my injury was chainsaw related and that I had purchased a replacement. But it took me a long time to go out and use it. Well I finally got it cleaned up, tuned up, and sharp and took it out to cut up some windfalls. It felt good. But last weekend a friend was cutting and splitting firewood and I invited myself to help. It felt SO GOOD!!! I'm still more safety conscious than ever, but I am back in the swing! I am so looking forward to more years of cutting, splitting and stacking firewood, for myself and my friends. One more mental hurdle overcome. I also enjoy watching and feeling a real fire in my fireplace.

Congrats, @hevykevy on getting back on the horse - so to speak, and being able to use a chainsaw again. What measures are you taking to be more safety wise?

@dprins got a similar feel good, back in the swing feeling when he was able to rake leaves. How do you feel about shoveling the snow, Daniel?
