The Day I Bacame a Man

By Mr. Robinson -
I used a chainsaw for the first time yesterday! We came down to the Denny's to help them prepare for Jessica's wedding (in two weeks). We got here early yesterday morning, but Bob was called away to close a real estate deal. Such is the life of a Realtor. (Any deal is a good deal in this slow market.) Anyhow, he told me how to adjust the chain and . . . really there's not much to it. Anyhow, I had a lot of fun cutting up old fence posts, bushes and even some firewood that we can use for camping this summer.

Way to go, Aaron! The place must be shaping up really well after all the weekends you guys have put in! Weddings are great motivators, aren't they!

How nice that Bob sold a house just in time for the extra cash needed! Whew!

Aaron, I think you became a man, and a good man, long ago. It takes more than a chain saw. But, I know what you mean. It's fun to wield such power. Dad

Did you know: That water boils at 198 degrees up here? Thus, food takes longer to cook cuz the water isn't hot enuf. Breads rise very quickly, but they aren't truly 'proofed' so must rise a 3rd time... Cakes rise so fast in the oven, (because of lack of air pressure above them,)that they will pour over the top of the tin before they can bake enuf to support themselves! Liquid evaporates so fast that two extra tablespoons must be added per cup to produce a product that is not dried out. Hmmmmmmmm... My culinary reputation is at stake!
