If You . . .
If the freezer in your fridge has more “in progress” turned pieces than
frozen food - If you have a freezer just for “in progress turning” - If, by volume or weight, you have more equivalent trees on your property than you have actual standing trees - If you regularly have to shake wood turnings out of your pockets, shoes, socks or shorts - If you have to floss to get wood shavings out from between your teeth - If your fingers change colors based on the wood you’ve been playing with - If you suppliment your income by selling shavings to barbecue aficianados - If your heart rate rises significantly as you drive passed a firewood lot - If you HAVE TO slow down to have a look at EVERY pile of wood along side the road - If you have a chainsaw - and can of 2 stroke gas - in your mini-van, or luxury sport ute - If you have less “silver ware” than you do gouges and chisels - If “ground chuck” makes your head spin trying to visualize it - If you can’t see a water tower without wondering ‘How the hell did they turn that?’ - If you get disappointed when the “bowling” TV program you tuned in to see involves rolling a ball down a lane of hardwood and the only thing in the show that’s turned is what they’re throwing large balls at - If you buy liquid dishwashing detergent (LDD) by the gallon (or 55 gallon drums), yet always have a sink full of dirty dishes - If the chorus of the Byrds’ “To Every Thing There Is A Season” creates an almost irrisitable urge to stand in front of a lathe - If someone says “Turn around.” or “Don’t turn around” and you think DUH! Or HUH?! Respectively - If “round the bend” is an oxymoron to you - charlie b |

Charlie
Reading your list is like listening to a TV advertisement selling a new prescription drug. As I read the list I was thinking, "Man I've got almost every one of those symptoms". I got in major trouble with the "other half" the other day when she caught me looking at recent storm damage rather than the road I was suppose to be looking at. Thanks for the thoughts (and now concerns). Guess I should make a Dr. appointment and have this checked out. JD |

And you know you married well when the wife comes home excited about a tree
she saw cut down on the side of the road! Or when she says the kids can give US that new Sorby tool as our Christmas gift! TomNie |
