Looks fairly warm yet for the week to come. All I care to do is nibble at the firewood chores for the time being, mostly stacking.....
Anybody miss winter yet...?

Nope, still don't miss it even though it is near 100 every day and expected to be over 100 later this week.

Not ready for winter yet. Fall is my favorite part of the year but really I could do without winter. I don't mind the heat as much as the cold. I work outdoors and every year older I get the less I like the cold.
it sure beat here today, 84 with 90% humidity .. soaken wet before I got a good sharpening on the cold saw . will take a cold snowy day anytime with a wet back and moist below the belt as long as there's a fire to warm up to till the days end. warm coffee and a brat cooked in the ash's while working the saw over for a short afternoon go till dark30. tomorrow's another week of soaked t shirts and drooping trousers! stay cool.
Temp down in the cellar again. Was out trimming trees wearing a jacket! Finally surrendered and lit off a fire about 2pm. Still feeding it now. Hi for the day was low 50s.

Split a load of ash yesterday with the splitter. Felt like I had did it under water I was so wet when I finished.

3:42 am as I sit here, it is still 72 out. It was 80 and muggy still at 10pm. It has been a very nice summer here this year. it has been just enough heat and been a good number of days with low humidity. I'll take it!
Just got back from probably my favorite week of the year which is my annual canoe trip.
Weather sucked but fishing was great. I could be a canoe paddling vagabond if I didn't have responsibility for my family.

68* here, 0200.
Winter needs to hold off. I have way too many summer projects to start.

well we are going to get broasted, towards the end the week, here if predictions hold true.
91 here but humidity not bad. Going to be close to 100 and humid later this week.

After the up coming days predicted to be 100F or better I bet a lot more than me will be saying SUMMER SUCKS.

Yeah. We have roughly a month till fall and 3 months till winter (normally snowing by mid October)
The only outdoor projects I need to do in the next week are mow the lawn once and change the oil in my wife's suburban. The AC is on 66 in our house and I will be in there.
Although it was over 90 yesterday it was very comfortable outside by 9:00.

Doing one to two hour shifts manual labor, then hit the shade. Completely saturated with sweat by then, soaked, like I fell in the crick or something. Have to eat then, chug more fluids, cool off. then back at it. Dogs are digging in, the border collie actually dug a cave under my polar vortex stack, ha! Cats just disappear during the day, they find the deepest shadiest spot they can and park it, except for the new kitten, he hangs in the barn near the food bowls, because he knows I will bring him high protein and fat treats through the day. He ain't dumb.
We don't do AC. Run the window fans at night, shut them off as soon as the sun hits the yard. Cabin stays cooler than outside all day then.
Tomorrow and next three days I will ride around and mow, we finally got enough rain after two months to make it actually look like grass and pasture. I've been mowing brown weeds and dust mostly.
I ain't cutting until it cools off ten degrees during the day, full cutting pants, boots and helmet and high 90s..no, just no, emergencies only. In the 80s I can hack it, close to 100 apparently I can't...wuss!
I did split today though, got a few layers deep on a pallet of just assorted mixed rounds kicking around the yard, I think all oak and pine and one mystery round I fergit what it was, basically yard salvage. Funny how you accumulate so many oddball chunks.......

Temps been in the 70s past several days but I was on bed lockdown on the stroke ward. Happened Sat night, went to ER vea ambulance, then transferred to the specialists on sunday Morning. 2 days laying in bed dreaming about getting back to my brush clearnace projects. 2 wasted days as my symptoms had gone away by the time I reached the ER and the specialists rated it as having been a TIA (a stroke that started but stopped). Specialists ran many tests and could find nothing at all wrong. No residual effects. Put me on anti-stroke pills anyhow.
Ain't old age wonderful!
Had an eye appointment today so no cutting - did a couple hours manually splitting locust
Tomorrow 2 more medical appointments. One a routing check, one toget put on a heart monitor - no problems, they just want to see if there is something happening they can't see.
Maybe on Thursday I can get back on the saws. Only gonna be 90 then
