Nice pic!
Why the knee pads?
I don't like milling in the rain but in WA you probably don't always have a lot of choice. In Southern Hemisphere WA (Western Australia) it's the other was around - we take all the rain we can get. Tropical Cyclone Laurence just made a run down the north coast and went inland dropping a heap of water but we are so far south (over 1000 miles away) we didn't get a drop of rain or a breath of wind from it.
I had the saw on the ground to set the depth of cut and do some other work. My knees can't take too much abuse any more... also the ground was/is soaking wet and....in the PNW, if you don't work in the rain, well, you don't work!
