   Got out and cut a walnut heart between 10:30 & 1:00 today and felt about like the MM photo. Showered and drank 2 big Gatorades and a quart or so unsweeteened tea and spent next few hours under the ceiling fan. 

   I will probably go get the 10' logs down late this afternoon if it has dried out enough for me get the ATV up the hill with the log arch in tow. It is so steep I have to get a good running start and it is not fun if you don't quite make it over the crest. :o

78,

   Sorry about the scare and hope your wife makes a quick and complete recovery. Its those little things we take for granted that will sneak up on you and really hurt you.  

   I remember when I was stationed at Parris Island and we were working recruits most of our heat casualties were not on the PT field where we were watching them like a hawk. They would come in the Mess Hall or on the drill field or at a clothing appointment or such when we least expected it. I did learn then a heat casualty was much more likely to have a relapse so if you ever have one be doubly careful in the future.

Lawg Dawg,

   if you want to swap a pickup load of those watermelons for a nice hand made primitive live edge bench let me know and I will swing by the 22nd of July on our way back from my wife's 45th HS reunion. We'll be overnighting in Atlanta on the way to Charlotte NC then home to WV Monday 23rd. I will expect the melons to be on ice and none of those with hollow hearts. :D

Fall is my all-time favorite time of the year!

I usually start out making sure my lube line is thawed out and end up with around 2,000 board feet of lumber at quitting time!

Been bad here. Humidity is so high and the air just isn't moving. I work on natural gas compressors in tin buildings and a gallon of water goes fast. We have to wear FR long sleeves and pants that don't breath as well either. Lots of breaks and if the truck ac isn't up to par the truck is broke down.

My mill is oriented north and south under cover so only get the early AM sun, shaded by trees the rest of the day so isnt too much of a problem.
When I worked marking timber I hoot owled it, in the woods at daybreak till 10AM or so and sometimes back out about 7 PM, but only if the job was fairly close to home.

One more day to go. 107°F here right now. Not used to this heat and humidity. This is why I want my mill under a roof, not in the sun as it is now. We even put the horses in the barn. Never done that before. And they don't even want out after the sun goes down. Great in the AC in the house but starting to get cabin fever.
Something wrong with the dog though, he loves the heat. Lays outside in full sun til I drag him in.

I assumed the baby was just wise and had found a way to cool 'it'.  Just like moisture evaporates from a shirt those diapers have a lot of moisture to evaporate!

Heading to the mill in about 30 minutes, plan to work until too hot
AC in house took a dump overnight.
lowered my hot tub temp to 99 and it feels good that way between the lower temp and adult beverage.

   I found my last nest in the front yard in the creek bank when I got the mower too close to the edge of the creek and got it stuck on top of their nest. >:( They did not like me trying to rock it out or the vibration it made and did not appreciate when I got off and lifted it over to the side and got out. Luckily I did not get stung and came back and cooled them down with a good dose of wasp and hornet spray about sunset.

Get you a 3 pack of walmart safety yellow T shirts with the pocket.  2 sizes bigger than normal.  Cut the sleeves so that theyre still long enough to cover your shoulder joints but are slit way down below the arms.  This will give a big vent up the belly area and keep your arm pits more comfortable.  

Now go to tractor supply or the co-op and buy a cheap straw cowboy hat.  Gotta be straw.  Poke your finger through the top in one or two place for vents and stick a pair of stacked paper towels inside, tucked up under the sweat band to stay in place, also with some poked holes.  

Now youre a redneck, go work in sun.


The dirt was 90 in the shade yesterday and 104 in the sun.  A steel plate was 133.

Mike,

   You forgot to mention the bib overalls open on the sides and fastened with only one strap and his brogan shoes with no socks.

I have 3 straw hats which I grab the closest one in the morning before heading to the mill
Only wear them when moving logs and lumber in the yard along with sun glasses.
Today was only 89 so not too bad but I took my shirt off and let the sawdust settle on my body.
Glad nobody was there to see me naked from the waist up as my body has failed me as well as some of  my mind.
Also glad I got to the house with the sawdust on me before my wonderful missus got home.

He probably keeps the t-shirts on the same refrigerator shelf as the peanut butter.

Goat, I don't know if you ever watched the sitcom "Seinfeld", there was a character named Kramer who had a similar habit to your fridge t-shirts, except the opposite end of the temperature spectrum. He liked his pants fresh out of the dryer, and then at one point ended up with them in a pizza oven because he got addicted to his "hot pants" and needed a quick fix😂😂
