Firewood.

 The children are coming for Thanksgiving, and Winky wanted firewood. Kadizzle had a simple solution, just pick up the scraps from the guy who packages firewood. That would be simple and cheap, but Winky managed to make it into a complex mess. So yesterday off we went to "Jim Bo's" to get some firewood.  Jim Bo never showed up, but we got hold of him this morning. At this point we had been to Jim Bo's twice. Now at Jim Bo's we ask if we can buy the scraps in his processing place that is closer to our house. Yep, he said we could have the scraps for free. So off we go back to Payson. Jim Bo is going to give us the scraps, but now all of a sudden the mess wood he wants to get rig of is $40.  Kadizzle got him down to $20 and he helped us load the truck, so it was not so bad.  Additionally Jim Bo said we could come back any time and get a load for $10.  In reality the processing of the wood they sell makes a mess they have to clean up. So we are paying him to clean up the mess. In the end a simple task became complicated, but this is the normal routine with Winky. Good thing she doesn't read this blog.
