    It will be about 4 days straight of Olive Garden (carbohydrates and fiber).
    Enjoy the massive dump you'll be able to take on like day 8. That cheese is going to work overtime.

    They sure do and someone who regularly works that hard is probably a friend worth keeping. The tree crew that my friend has run the past 12 years is the hardest working team I've ever seen, bar none. And I've been managing crews in construction and farming much of my life. Over the past 5 years I've spent ~$8K for these guys to take out high risk trees around my house. Worth every penny. These are men who respect hard work so I work right along with them and get much more done than I've contracted for.

    I dont see him often, because he stays busy, but they stuck the most part of 8 trees on my 16x8 trailer. It took me 2 days to unload it.
    We don't have trees out here, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to box with him. He'd murder me.

    Ha! My friend just gave me a shirt with the logo patch, "Body By TnT", (the name of his tree company). It's a take off from another logo, "Body by Gold's Gym". For prospective employees it implies either you work out or you don't work.

    Dude looks rather scrawny too, but dude walks around with logs like they aren't heavy. I moved them 30ft and about had a stroke

    It's what you're used to doing. At 70+, I'm deteriorating but credit my health and strength to working every day. I've been chain sawing trees in our forested yard since age 14 and still have a lifetime supply of firewood.

    A neighbor and I gave our latest 14 trees to an older neighbor who has limited firewood on his property. He now has another 3-4 cords of rounds to split and stack and I'll be enlisted to help process it. He uses little more than a cord a year so it's money in the bank.

    Our drinks and beverages all went to smaller refrigerator to make a room for those Olive Garden foods.

    Salad bowl/container itself is about 15 person party pack.

    I won't have to go to Oliver Garden for a year after this.
