Loggin Day and a new love for power tools

I haven't had a chance to write about this yet, but I thought since the opportunity arose, I would do so now. The day after Thanksgiving where I live has a deep tradition of community. A deep tradition of community and...logging. The day looks something like this: Everyone wakes up and meets at the neighbor's house for breakfast. Some loud music is played, in this case "Zeplin" and we get pumped up to move chopped up dead trees around in the freezing cold. It was our virgin experience as new comers to "the hill"...and we had a great time. The best part: The POWER TOOLS. I got to use a chainsaw for the (real) first time and drove around the kiddies and piles of logs in a John Deere gator ATV. Too much fun, seriously. So in my new found love of power tools, I found a power tool blog. There, I found out about the Ingersoll Rand IQv Cordless system. Yes please. It's a great blog with great deals. check it out. One day I might be able to afford the power leaf blower, chain saw, and log splitter I am dreaming of at night. Oh, and don't even get me started on the John Deere Gator ATV... Next year I will be prepared to take out a forest by myself.
