Saturday afternoon / 12:30pm:
Splitting wood with a mechanized wood splitter isn’t very challenging or mentally stimulating, but boy is it fun. There’s something strangely satisfying in watching a sturdy log split in two like a piece of butter at the push of a lever. I may never handle a chainsaw again, or drive a tractor, or hand-milk a cow, but task me to split some wood again and I’ll be game.
