    Thursday was my first full day of summer break and of course it had to be the hottest day of the season so far but not too worry, here comes the real heat.
    Thursday, I cut wood until a little after 2pm and decided I had enough. Sunday-Tuesday I will probably call it a day by noon.

    No job to report to, 15 hours of daylight, swimming, girls in bikinis, socializing outside (most days/evenings), I could go on and on. Maybe I should start a new thread? :)

    Not looking forward to it myself but have a couple bundles orders to go out and a couple scores to cut.

    When time do you usually start cutting Joe?

    That depends on whether mom has the window ac going or windows open. When I know she has the ac on, usually around 7ish but occasionally earlier. If she has the windows open, not before 8.

    No thank you

    I don't cut or so anything firewood related when it's this hot.

    I mowed the lawn this am and it was humid and about 80°. Yuck.

    The boat brings out the bikinis.

    Supposed to see 98 here today. I am going to cut and split some Pecan. If I survive that I will work on filling the racks at the house. Over promise and under deliver. Back to work tomorrow to rest up for the weekend.

    How high has the temp gone there? I just returned home from a trip and am now roasting in the 90's. Too hot for me.

    So 30*C would be 86* in F's...35*C is 95*F (for us that aren't that familiar with temps in C...)
