Hooooooooooo, man my day was pretty great.
Got up at around 8, covered in sweat and drool (result of me drinking caffeine before bed). Immediately took a shower and took off with my brother in the truck. I was late, but my grandma still made me breakfast and we took our sweet time before getting to work. So here's what's happening. My grandfather sold some land to a friend of his, and he plans on building on that property (he says it's gonna be a lab for water purification, but my dad is convinced it's gonna be a meth lab). So the area is practically a jungle, infested with mesquite trees and garbage is thrown carelessly around. My granddad gave me a single rusty hacksaw and a wheelbarrow and said, "get to work." My brother was supposed to be helping, but all he really did was take some measurements and hold wood for me while cracking dick jokes. So since it was a relatively young tree, I took that hacksaw, and got to work. Had the whole thing down by lunchtime. Spent the rest of the day chopping it all up into firewood. I had to apologize to the Earth as soon as I was done, but man, I feel so good knowing I had it in me to do all that. Going back tomorrow to continue clearing the area out.
