Damn skippy it is.
Grandpadigr was a logger. His dad was a logger.
One time Ucledigr had a tree go down in a storm, it fell into the creek. It was a huge old tree, and had to be cleared out of the creek lest it create a jam.
A bunch of us gathered up one Saturday to remove this tree. Uncledigr came down to the creek carrying one of Grandpadigr's old two-man cross-cut saws and a spraycan of oil. He wanted to "do it the way Papaw done it". We all took our turns with history, so-to-speak. In the creek. Waist deep to the grown-ups.
Got it done.
I still hurt when I think about it.
