Was splittin 'em for Ma cuz we had huge (like, yard+ diameter) trunk sections from having to cut down a tree or two. Firewood for winter don't'cha know?
Couple of 'em had to weigh 70+ pounds a pop, and had about 10-15 to deal with.
While I was movin one of 'em, felt what seemed to be 2 pinpricks on my front ankle. turns out there was a black bug where I was feelin it. Swatted it off and immediately went for the soap and water (better than ointment for dealing with bug bites cuz it cleans and disinfects the area better). Looked up what it could have been (Either a Black Widow or a tick). 4 hours in and no huge swells, so wasn't a Black Widow bite, and it was too big to be a tick, so dunno what really bit me.
