Life Wood Guy - Page 3

rabblerouser · 12-07-2019, 10:13 PM

I now have my very own wood guy story. So, my grandpa lives with my mom, and he's like 85 so he likes the temperature to be around his age, so they burn wood. My mom was taking my grandpa to his sisters and I'm going down there today after work to watch the game with them tomorrow, so I told her I'd handle the wood guy today so there would be plenty of wood.

They showed up while I was still at work and stacked it in my mom's garage. I just got a call that one of the guys left his phone in my mom's garage and then walked out, locking the door behind him. So he's talking to me while he's outside of the garage, on his buddy's phone, while HIS phone is inside and he can't get in.

I called my mom's neighbor (her uncle, literally right next door) who has a spare key to see if he can open the door for the poor bastard. He's not home. And wood guy has another delivery like 50 miles away and lives even farther away from my mom's house. I won't be there for another 4 hours or so. He's kind of freaking out now because he needs his phone. He then calls me back a few minutes later (on his buddy's phone of course) and tells me not to worry about it. Asks me to "throw the phone in the dumpster" when I get to my mom's and he will just buy a new one.

So let's hear it fellas. Any good wood guy stories?

When you can't trust your wood guy, there is no one you can trust

My wood guy is always really hard to reach. I offered to buy him a phone at one point and he just gave me a funny look and refused. Then he strode off into the forest and I realized he was Sasquatch.

I thought so. They live out in the country by Warsaw, and my grandpa is a good ol' boy. Them good ol' boys take care of themselves.

Piñon wood is my always wood. A few joints here sell it. Great, great smell. Best for outdoors in a fire pit, or chiminea.

I cut my own wood, split it, and stack it. So technically, I'm a wood guy. Only good story I have is that about a month ago, a buddy came over to my place to help me get some wood so that he could take some home. He ended up cutting through his patellar tendon in his knee when the chainsaw kicked back. I bandaged him up, and got him to the ER, where he was until about 5 hours later when he went to surgery. He spent the next day at the hospital also to get antibiotics on board because chainsaw cuts are so damned dirty. I went home, gathered up the wood we had cut, split it, stacked it, and continued to be a wood guy.

I wouldn't call that a good wood story

That's a pretty good wood story.

How's your buddy now?
