Beginning in December and continuing through January, Josh has been working on a winter project at the golf course of cutting down/cleaning up some nasty old trees. He's done the same type of work the last few winters, and this year he's been finishing the area he started last year: cleaning up the willow trees that line the #9 fairway. He's nearly done now. All that's left is to burn the giant burn piles full of smaller branches and sections of trunk at the golf course.
Over Christmas break, when the boys were out of school, he had them help him several days. After Josh cut down the large tree branches, he cut the branches into lengths, and the boys stacked the wood in the truck to bring home. After they got home, then they all worked together unloading the wood from the truck and stacking them in our wood pile.
They did this several times, and on one such day over Christmas break, the boys had been stacking the wood in the back of truck, when this happened:
Apparently whoever was stacking the wood at the time (which was piled high!), pushed a wood too far or threw a piece of wood too hard (we still have no idea what REALLY happened!). But whoever had been stacking the wood at the time didn't say a WORD about what had happened. So, when everyone got in the truck to head home after the truck had been {over}loaded with wood, Ammon saw shattered glass all over the back seat and said "Uh Oh". That's when Josh found out what happened to the back window. Even then, nobody claimed to know what happened, even though all the suspicions were on this person in particular:
Thankfully, we have full insurance on this truck and the window was replaced a week later.
This is just another example of the possibilities that could happen when you mix wood, boys, chainsaws, and trucks together!!!

At least your house stayed warm, even if the truck didn't.
