I waited till later yesterday afternoon to start. About 9 or so I think it still said it was 92 heat index. It didn't feel that hot outside by then to me though it was cooler when I was on my way back to the house around 745.

This morning I went to load it all on my trailer and i been back at the house and hour or so and it says it feels like 98f but is only 89.

It's only red maple but was half a mile from the house and I was able to pull the big stuff out with my tractor and then cut it in the grass and load right Onto the trailer. The pic with the saw is the but cut. That's a ms650 with a 20" bar for scale. View attachment 309015 View attachment 309016 View attachment 309018

“Heat index”….is that the same thing as temperature?

I will wear jeans outs

Idea sometimes but they stick and are HOT as crap I don't see how people wear them outside in the summer to work? I like the lightest weight Carhartt type pants, not the thick ones everyone you see wear that when new you can stand up in the corner. TSC also has some very similar to Carhartt style lightweight pants that I think i have paid $15 for on sale.

Wrangler riggers here.
Pockets for everything I carry.
And heavy enough to protect me.
Heat I can tolerate so far. Drinking like a fish works for the moment.

Nah. They call it this to make everything sound bad. The higher the humidity on hot days the higher the number. Like it may only be 92f but with 70-80% humidity they will say it feels like 101 outside or when we hit 98f with that humidity they say it's like 112f or something.

Oh ok. Kinda like the opposite of wind chill factor. Glad I asked. I learned something. They make things so complex these days. Shows my age I guess.
