    Yeah, sliding around towing a trailer on slippy hills is scary. When I worked at a very hilly golf course I jack-knifed a few trailers slipping on hills. Thank goodness there at least it was pretty wide open and I could avoid hitting trees, though I did aim for a big stand of ornamental grass when I was spinning in circles down a hill. I guess it did not help much that the brakes were chit on about 50% of our work carts...

    Light rain & 25 mph winds today
    Might just set up to split .
    No need to risk breaking a saw or my head felling on a windy day.

    I'd be finding an indoor project on a day like that. Wouldn't take long to get cold to the bone.

    Wind like that ain't worth risking felling trees in the woods.

    Might have a break in the weather Monday
    If the wind quits, I may at least go drop some trees & cut trails for the atv
    Gonna have to put wood gathering in high gear soon. Winter not far off.
