I've also enjoyed getting my wood ready, strange as it may seem. It is darn envigorating. Nice to stand back and watch the stack get bigger and bigger...
I understand and its not strange to me. I am one of those people who could care less to watch sports, play them, "work out", etc. I get my "work out" working and the idea of watching any game is about as inviting as going to get a tooth pulled. I tell people at work I would rather split wood than watch a ball game. They look at me like I'm some very strange creature that can't be fathomed. They maybe right.
When splitting wood I listen to my mp3 player, three Johnny Cash CDs will get me about a half cord , and listening to the who 2GB is about a cord. Far more enjoyable than sitting at the ball park crammed in with a zillion other people, having to wait in line to pee and get outragously priced food. Yep, rather split wood.
At the end of working you have something to show for the effort and I know the family will be warm in the winter even if the power goes out. Go to a ball came what do I get? Tired. Hot. Stressed at the crowds/traffic. Empty wallet. Back hurts from the seat. Nope. Lets go split wood and listen to Clapton and Kottke!
Best of all I can pee when I want. Where I want. And not stand in someone else pee to do so!
