Man, I feel your pain! But just think of even how much _more_ money
you'll save after you get that truck, trailer, and a bandsaw to
process those logs with!

Ahhh, the self-delusion of the home woodworker. Rationalize yourself into
buying more tools so you can save money building or using something else.
Unfortunately, the delusion never ends and you're constantly buying more
tools to save more money ad infinitum. It's only a number of years down the
road that most of us realize just *how much* money we spent trying to save
money.

At least we had a good time trying to save all this money. Better than the
guy with a whole boatload of saved cash who is mostly too old to enjoy it.



"boatload of saved cash" Now there's an oxymoron if I ever saw one.
Believe me, I tried the boat thing about 30 years ago and like the old
saying goes, a boat is a _hole_ in the water where you can throw your
money. "Boatload of saved cash!" Sheesh... that's agood one.

Reminds me of when SWMBO comes home with a carload (and it's a station
wagon too) of bags and boxes after shopping at the big sale, and says
something like "I could have saved another two hundered dollars if I
hadn't tun out of money..."
