    I told the mrs i was gonna go out back and split for a half hr to an hr before it got too hot. It hadn't even been 30 mins and I was drenched when the splitter decided it was hot enough. One of the carb bolts rattled out and she shut off. Good time to stop i guess haha. :faint:

    I have a huge pile of rounds to split and I'm waiting until it is cooler for sure! Splitting in 95 degree weather isn't my thing.

    I've been pretty lazy since April. There's even a pile of pine I split back in March that's still sitting on the ground, I just need to move it 15ft and stack it but I'm waiting for cooler weather. There's enough projects inside the house and garage to keep me busy, the firewood can wait since I'm a few years ahead anyway.

    Shoot, I have wood from a year ago that is still not stacked. One of these days it may cool off a bit...
