Yesterday, I took seven guys up to our family farm, about 30 minutes north of Nacogdoches, to split wood. I had also promised them we could ride 4 wheelers and fish. When we got there we had no keys for the 4 wheelers and the fishing supplies were no where to be found.I was concerned that this might ruin the day. Instead, the guys had a great time splitting wood for a few hours, and I'm not talking about using a gas powered log splitter. We did it the old fashioned way, sledges and wedges. One of the guys brought a football and so we would split wood for awhile then throw the ball around.
On the way back we stopped to eat some greasy burgers at Fuddruckers. Its amazing the community built among men from working together and then enjoying some artery clogging food. In the future, we may try to do more stuff that will give guys a chance to accomplish something together, even if its just chopping wood.
