    Cut for a couple hours after work this afternoon. Had those summer time cutting vibes. Wasn’t humid though so it wasn’t bad.

    I was sweaty but not bad. Would have felt pretty darn good for July.

    Not looking forward to the swealtering summer heat. It could stay like this indefinitely and I’d be happy.

    jrider, you got the PPE crowd shaking their heads..

    I'd just go crazy with the saw chips on/in my socks!

    Yeah I know most cringe. I know anything can happen and I accept that risk, however I do almost all of my cutting of logs on the forks of the tractor. I’m not out cutting many trees down or limping them. I find the chips stuck to my legs and in my socks far more comfortable than pants and chaps on a warm/hot day.

    Too much rain though. At least in summer if it rains, it’s usually not an all day event and the ground dries quickly.
