    75° today in Northern Kentucky, perfect for processing wood!

    But I didn't! I jumped on my bicycle and peddled 50 miles instead! :loco: :crazy:

    Maybe tomorrow I'll make firewood!:axe:

    Hmmmmm.... Whateva floats your wood:rofl: :lol: Sounds like it was good ride, at least..... Can't say I'd blame you for choosing to ride.
    So when you make firewood tomorrow, you'll put up pics of that, since there ain't none of any country scenery and all:whistle:

    If doing wood means cutting, it was not a good day for cutting wood. Splitting might have been ok, but cutting sucked. Hate it when sawdust mixes with sweat and feels like sandpaper when I try to wipe it off.

    Yep, cool breezy weather coming in...that's wood weather. When it's 75, you gotta jump on the bike and make your own breeze. :)

    I was dropping trees today and it was -1 c and I was sweating like crazy! I think the ride was the way to go for you!

    I think 75 would be fine for cutting as long as humidity is low. After cutting this summer when it was in the 90s and very humid, 75 sounds great!

    Good riding temp & a great time of the year for some long rides :).

    Jealousy from here
    35° 20 mph winds, chance of rain/snow mix :(

    Not sure which is better for exercise, riding or wood processing
    A mix of both though, gives you the full body workout :yes:

    Pic of your bike ?

    mine LOL
