    I put the three AC's in the windows today even though it was only in the 60's. Just wanted to get em' in. I got a cord or so to cut up and split. I'd like to try and get that done this month, weather not too hot permitting. I have two cords or so that I cut up a while back on my neighbors land that we will share. His idea, if I did the cutting, sure, no problem. I don't think I'll be dragging that out in the heat of summer though, the bugs are just too dang thick in there until late summer.

    Nice! I have a Kona Sutra, but have not been on it yet this year. I’ve yet to find motivation.

    No such thing as too warm for firewooding. Summer is when I get most of my wood cut and split.

    I agree Dave but sadly I've not been out yet. Fighting off some vertigo problems and don't want that happening when on the bike. Can't you just picture it, 35 mph and enjoying it when suddenly the earth starts spinning in a different direction... But hope to get on it soon. Supposed to be a bit cool and wet for next few days then warming back up with some sunshine. Maybe I'll try it then.

    Ooh, I don't know about that. I don't do well over 85 to 90 deg. Don't get me wrong, I have many times logged in the summer. But at this point, the heat makes me cranky. If it works for you, good. We're all different and that's A-OK!:thumbs:

    Unfortunately all of my wood processing is done in the summer. Still working on the three year plan...
    I’ll get there some day.
