    Works for me.
    Well actually it doesn’t. No power near my processing area. Now you’ve got me thinking.

    It's no wonder you had to have help Loon. The splitter is set up wrong!

    Being semi-retired, I work around the heat, not through it. Out in the cool of the morning, work until the sun hits my splitting area about 11 am. Have some lunch, catch up on the forums, then a nap. Once the shade moves back to my work area, if the temp is reasonable, I'll go back out for an hour or two. Or maybe take another nap.

    I split just like I pee, standing.

    Ditto. Was stacking at 5.30 this morning. Breakfast at 8 on the weekends. Nap till lunch, nap a little more. Had to go to a party today but usually id head back out and do some more work.
    Pretty bad when your home from a party at 8.00

    Sorry Loon , dunno how i missed this. Your could've taken a dip in the pool! I have a small box fan on the deck when we sit out there. Keeps some skeeters at bay too. My PA too far away for a fan. All shaded so not too bad.
