I had to cut some trees on Wed, it was super hot. I packed 3 extra shirts in the cooler! Worked great, plenty of water AND a nice cool t-shirt!

OMG high of 73 today with a nice breeze.
Cant wait for the next heat wave.
Still only sawed 4 or 5 logs tho.
Gettin too old.

We only reached 76° here today, with a nice breeze coming out of the North!

Sawed around 40 Red Pine logs today for 1722 bf!

Hadn't done any sawing for the last four days or so, wasn't about to in that 96° weather!

Did firewood on Friday after the rain had a nice breeze

Milled this morning and waited on customers. It was a beautiful morning.
I close at noon on Saturdays the wife needs some peace.
I will go out in the pit and work on firewood orders.
I'm behind

I grew up in Eastern Montana where the daytime highs would reach the triple digits for weeks on end. But Now that I've been in Alaska for 12 years, I feel like I'm gonna melt if it hits 75! Lol!

Yesterday was a see-the-bear-day. I did catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye.

Had a customer bring logs over Wednesday - temp was high 90s with 90% humidity. My MANUAL LT15 is inside a metal building and even with both overhead doors open it was HOT. Took only about 2 hours but I'm ready to wait for cooler weather.

Have logs waiting to be cut and split for firewood but thankfully this year's is already put away.

I'm getting too old to fight the heat.

Been just plain awful around here. Just plain awful .

I would look for a piece of that glacier we have here but it would be of no use. I think we have an export ban on glacier parts. ;D

We do have a surplus of water if you're near the Mississippi but I would not advise drinking that water cause you know what every big city between here and the gulf puts in the water.
