They repaved our road today. It was warm and mostly sunny. I noticed the guy on the roller driving back and forth all day had a golf umbrella rigged up on his machine. Every once in a while he had to adjust for the suns angle. Not a super day to be on a blacktop crew.

I had the hood off for some repairs...(dropped an oil pipe on it when it slipped out of the grapple).  Those plastic mallets work wonders for repairing hoods.  :D

Yeah, I agree.  That's why I have a foldable umbrella instead of an old car hood like MM :D ;D.  I can take it off when I am in the woods.  I generally don't have enough direct sunlight to use it there.

Yes, HOT Today!!!  smiley_devil_trident  I now have my 5th dry shirt on and am sitting under AC and drinking Sweet Iced Tea with a squeeze of Lemon.  I'll give myself a bit of cool down time before I go back outside.

I worked from dawn to 9 loading the next log onto the mill and putting the others on the rollway. I did pretty nicely in spite of the weather. Oh, I forgot to mention - that's 9AM.  ;D

It's only 34C (93F) today, the smoke is so thick the sun can't find us.

In this heat I welcome clouds. I pass on the smoke.

Heat index was 106F this afternoon, been that way all week.  Still had several hours of work to do but could not stay in the death ray any longer.  Came inside for a bit to sit by a fan when I looked at my wife and said "it's raining" - she must have thought I was having heat stroke since there was no noise or anything but i could SMELL it.  Sure enough - .68" or rain and a good 25 degree temp drop.  Went back out and enjoyed working in the rain.  Now I just hope my boots dry out on the dryer tonight. 

Magic Man - do you still have that hat and shirt from when you started this thread?

Oh my, none of it.  I do still wear the same style 'pith' helmet, and that apron has been replaced twice.
 
I do still have that customer and it was his logs that I was sawing last week.  LINK

Here is the first time that I sawed for that customer and where that 'HOT' picture was taken:  LINK

Only 3 shirts today and there will not be any more because the rest of today will be my Saturday off.   8)

We are forecast to be cooler next week, only in the high 80's-low 90's.  I can deal with that even though my Monday's sawing is no where close to shade.   I gots my umbrella.  ;D

You are tougher than me.   No portable sawmill  jobs in the summer for me.  I start scheduling again in late sept.

Been baling what we call prairie hay the last couple weeks.  Native grass.  Really had to watch the radiator on the tractor, so much fine dust.  Great relief on Saturday, only about 90.  Seems cool compared to the 100's. Now if we could just get some rain.

We finished in the woods and started doing foundation stonework at the job, I rigged up a blue shade tarp, better than direct sun, more of an easy bake oven  :D. Our water hoses are black, you gotta watch that first blast!

Thick smoke is keeping the direct sun at bay, I don't know which is worse. :-\

Well sunshine doesn't make it harder to breathe. One of my neighbors is on the second day of burning brush too slowly and it is beginning to wear on me.

102° yesterday, after 8 1/2 hours, I was done. Woke up to rain this morning and it's more than welcome with all the fires burning.

I mowed the lawn yesterday and finished dripping wet with sweat.  smiley_sweat_drop 
Last night I called my customer for today's sawing and he said; "too hot, lets wait another day".   smiley_sun 
No argument from me.

The weather that we had at the Pig Roast hasn't gotten here yet.  :-X

It hasn't gotten here either, mornings are nice but the heat graph shoots up at 8am. High heat warnings here again today. Time to go saw but I may knock off early.

I looked at the cloud yesterday afternoon in the NW, and someone must have gotten rain, we got a few sprinkles.  Surprise this morning, 70 degrees.  Thought I was going to have to find a sweat shirt.

29C and it's not even noon. The heavy smoke is keepng the temperature at bay but is sure making life miserable.
