Yesterday, after a few morning showers the sun appeared and being cooped up in the house for a few days because of the rain, I thought I would go cut some firewood and give the old body a work out. Sometimes I think I'm still 30 years of age. After an hour the saw broke down and my back started hurting, so went back home to recuperate in my old reclining chair. The old chair broke down and will no longer recline, so used a couple of books to prop it up and took a nap.
